    Picked it up. The Mosaic, for the most part, is just a graphic illustration of parts of Bullets. The 25 Things you didn't know about the Wreckers was nice. It clarifies some qusetions people had, but also talks about who was originally
    supposed to die. Hasbro nixed one, IDW execs nixed one, and they chickened out on the other
    .

    My shop only got in one of the 2 or 3 that they ordered. When I got in today the owner knew to put it in my pull box. That is why I have great respect for them, they KNOW who to take care of.

    I've got the comics, the digital editions on my iPhone and I'll get the trade - I can't support this title enough, it is far and away the best thing to come out of IDW since they picked up the license.

    I demand a sequel. That is all.

    More than a sequel, I demand the low bar of writing on the rest of the property's titles be raised. Bring in people who can do a story of this level.

    Or GTFO.

    Lets face it: tf comics will never get the respect of getting quality talents in field, all the recent good guys are from within the fandom. Expecting quality storytelling from tf comics as the norm rather than exception is a romantic notion and i applaud youre naivete.

    Oh, I don't know. TF games are scaling up in quality, and Animated demonstrates damn fine storytelling as well. Comix don't need to stay ghettoized if fans vote with their dollars.

    Exactly what I'm doing. This will be the first IDW comic I'm going to buy besides Spotlight Cliffjumper.

    I didn't buy the individual issues and anxiously awaited today to pick up the trade and read it all.

    IT WAS OUTSTANDING.

    Haven't read Bullets yet. But damn. I <3 Nick Roche.

    Almost done with Bullets. DAMN. DAMN!

    So good. I like Costa, but Roche REALLY Needs to take over the ongoing.

    Also, Twin Twist, sorry about your namesake!

    Man, all this additional info just makes one grieve even more for what happened to some of the characters. Rotorstorm made a nice impression and would have been nice to see his serious side, and Pyro... his psychological profile would have lead to some interesting stuffs to play out with XD

    Yes, its one bittersweet piece of awesome, that comic.

    James Roberts. He wrote the prose prologue in this trade, which is also a kickass story.

    By the way, NEVER TRUST AN ACTION MASTER.
