TRANSFORMERS MORE THAN MEETS EYE #55
(W) James Roberts (A) Alex Milne (CA) Brendan Cahill
The battle against the DECEPTICON JUSTICE DIVISION is finally over, and for the few AUTOBOTS left standing, all that’s left are words. Four words, to be precise. Four terrible words, millions of years old, that gave the DECEPTICONS their name.
– An unexpected ending? Or the most unexpected ending?
– The crew of the Lost Light has never seen higher stakes!
– Setting the stage for TITANS RETURN-and beyond!


TRANSFORMERS SINS OF WRECKERS TP
(W/A/CA) Nick Roche
THE WRECKERS RETURN! Somebody’s kidnapped PROWL… but does anybody want him back? A lifetime of messing with everybody’s lives comes around to haunt him. Fortunately, he’s always got a plan. In this case… the team of brutal, broken heroes… the WRECKERS


TRANSFORMERS TILL ALL ARE ONE #2
(W) Mairghread Scott (A/CA) Sara Pitre-Durocher
PANIC ON THE STREETS OF CYBERTRON! As STARSCREAM’S secret police continue on their rampage, IRONHIDE is caught between the BADGLESS and a population looking for retribution!
– CYBERTRON takes center stage-can STARSCREAM hold on while power slips through his fingers?
– Fan favorite character WINDBLADE tries to keep the peace!


TRANSFORMERS TITANS RETURN (ONE SHOT) 1
(W) Mairghread Scott & Various (A/CA) Livio Ramondelli
THE LAST AUTOBOT! Once he ruled CYBERTRON with a brutal (and literal) iron fist… left for dead four million years ago, SENTINEL PRIME is back. But in a world where STARSCREAM rules CYBERTON, OPTIMUS PRIME has invaded Earth, and MEGATRON is an AUTOBOT-SENTINEL doesn’t like what he sees!
– The story continues in TRANSFORMERS #56 and MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE #56 next month, and expands to TILL ALL ARE ONE this fall!
– For the first time ever-Scott, Roberts, and Barber working together on one story!
– Plus the powerful noir art of superstar Livio Ramondelli!
– After OPTIMUS is hailed; after the LIGHT dies… the next phase of TRANSFORMERS comics starts here!


TRANSFORMERS TP VOL 09
(W) John Barber (A) Sara Pitre-Durocher, Andrew Griffith
OPTIMUS PRIME struggles to find his place on CYBERTRON where half the population hates him and the other half worships him. Meanwhile, on Earth, GALVATRON doesn’t care what anybody thinks. Collects issues #46-49.

After OPTIMUS is hailed; after the LIGHT dies… the next phase of TRANSFORMERS comics starts here!

Love the wordplay and build up for this next crossover. Hopefully it begins, middles and ends better than Dark Cybertron!

hopefully - there were hints throughout the entire IDW run that culminated to that - it wasn't bad, but didn't achieve the heights I was expecting

Out next week should be (http://news.tfw2005.com/2016/06/29/diamond-comics-shipping-list-july-6th-318131) the second issue of Till All Are One, and the first Compendium volume of their current series (which was supposed to be out in the beginning of June). It contains IDW Collection Volumes 1 and 2 - Escalation, Infiltration, Stormbringer, Megatron Origin, and Spotlights of Blurr, Cliffjumper, Shockwave, Nightbeat, Hotrod, Soundwave, Sixshot, Ramjet, Ultra Magnus, Kup, Mirage, & Optimus Prime.

I can't tell if issue 13 of the TFs/GIJoe comic has come out yet, as it was scheduled for June but most of the issue were late or really late.
Anyway, for those who were reading the comic (which ended at issue 13), there is an interview at Newsrama with the writer (http://www.newsarama.com/29890-g-i-joe-vs-transformers-finale-has-kind-of-a-mic-drop-according-to-scioli.html), Tom Scioli, suggesting that there could be a finale one-shot or annual next year for the series.
