NOTE - movie comics and spoilers.
Out this week (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/comics-16/diamond-comics-shipping-list-for-may-25th-2011-172200/) from IDW:
Transformers: Dark of the Moon Adaptation Comic Book (TPB)
TRANSFORMERS HEART OF DARKNESS #3 (& it's incentive)
TRANSFORMERS IDW COLLECTION HC VOL 04
(Not sure why the Movie comic is being released so early before the Movie itself - usually its released the week or month of the Movie... and its a TPB, before individual issues, if there will be any)
And apparently, both TPBs of the two TF3 Prequels (http://www.tfw2005.com/transformers-news/transformers-movie-toys--products-30/transformers-dark-of-the-moon-prequel-comic-books-foundation--rising-storm-trade-paperbacks-172191/) (Foundation, Rising Storm) were released last week (was supposed to be this week). If the Movie comic is to be released this week, it'd make sense to rush out TPBs of the Prequels (even if it is in the same week as the final issue of one is being released). Usually TPBs are released a month or three later, as an incentive for people to buy the individual issues... but maybe their growing market for TPBs (in book stores and retail outlets) is prompting a shift in their publishing focus.
I still think it is too early for the Movie comics to be out... it's still another 6 weeks until the Movie. So much of the content is going to be so well-known in the fandom, it's gonna be impossible to not be spoilt when watching it.
Seven page preview of Ongoing #19 (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-ongoing-19-seven-page-preview/21661/), which came out last week.
Seven page preview of TF3 prequel Foundation (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/transformers-foundation-4-seven-page-preview/21660/), which also came out last week.
And down the track in August (http://www.seibertron.com/transformers/news/idw-publishing-august-2011-transformers-comic-solicitations/21714/), after all the Movie stuff is over, it looks like we could finally be seeing coloured UK Gen1 comics... just like Titan promised us years ago, but didn't.
Plus some cover images and plot details for the 'Chaos' Comic.
