Transformers #27
(W) Brian Ruckley (A) Anna Malkova (CA) Livio Ramondelli (CA) Red Powell (CA) Nicole Goux
“War World: Moon”. Cybertron’s winged moon, untethered from the planet and adrift in space, is in peril-from its slow descent towards the solar system’s star to new visitors who have their own plans for what to do with the moon. Can the remaining scientists and engineers hold their own until back-up arrives from Cybertron?

Transformers x Back To The Future #4
(W) Cavan Scott (A/CA) Juan Samu (CA) Phil Murphy (CA) Dan Schoening
Outmatched by the Decepticons, running on empty, and on the ropes, Marty McFly and the Autobot Gigawatt show why nobody calls them chicken! Will the final confrontation be in Marty’s future, or will he and his companions make it back to fix the timestream before the Decepticons win? Find out in the heaviest issue of the whole series!

Transformers Escape #2
(W) Brian Ruckley (A/CA) Bethany McGuire-Smith (CA) Anna Malkova (CA) Sara Pitre-Durocher
With war on the horizon, a team of unaligned Cybertronians hatches a plan to save themselves and as many civilians as they can from the impending destruction. Wheeljack, Hound, Highbrow, and other great thinkers and legendary heroes know their plan will work… if they can get the Arks up and running again. But the Decepticons have something else in mind…

Those who get their comics digitally are going to have a big day on December 30th, as a number of TPBs have been moved to that day, despite their physical copies coming out across 2 later months (which themselves were showing more delays, of up to 3 months, after already having their dates delayed by the Covid shutdown in April).

A preview of issue #27 (https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/01/18/idws-transformers-2019-comic-series-5-page-preview-of-issue-27-427491), which should be out this week.

For anyone interested in the finances of IDW, they have released their final quarter and full year results (https://news.tfw2005.com/2021/01/25/idw-media-holdings-fourth-quarter-fiscal-year-2020-results-released-427820), in which they are still losing money, but increased their revenue by about 20% on the 3rd quarter.
Not that last year is a good year to analyse the specifics and future of the finances of comic companies, as the whole industry (of discretionary spending) would still be hurting while the American economy is still suffering.
