I agree with pretty much everything said regarding comics, I tend to always collect in TPB's myself though as I'm tight and can't justify the single issue costs:o.
TPB's also tend to look very good on your sehelf.
check out TF wiki for issu listings etc.
Larger comic shops have a fair bit of TPB stock at the moment too due to the third movie coming out last year, they all stocked up good for catching up.
This is what I do. Wait for the TPB to come out. They usually release one every 6 or so issues so this is how I will be reading the ongoing series. For the same raeasons as UM, a bit cheaper and easier to store/look after.Quote:

It's certainly not like the 1980s/90s Marvel comics which were more "chunky" and chock full of stuff. Nowadays it takes much less time to read through a single ish. When you get a TPB you don't notice it; each issue feels like just another chapter and you just keep reading on.
Another advantage -- you don't have to wait a month between each chapter! :D Just gotta be careful to avoid spoilers I suppose. ;)
spoiler avoidance can be tricky, especially with comic reviews popping up in the transformers podcasts these days.Quote:

It's the Transformers Prime Comic Con Bumblebee and Arcee with Raf and Jack.
Thank you!
Griffin was selling it cheaper this morning, but Swoop saw it first :o
Griffin did recommend to me doing the Hasbro Toy Shop via US on-poster seller option (which is what he did). I haven't commited to that yet, but thought it might be a way to get the SDDC Bruticus so I am thinking about it (and could go in on a group order type deal).
[I'd like Pink Arcee]
yea kind of, especially with the wtf@tfw podcast, which I heard a callout to a Hursticon on this morning, btw.Quote:

If I find out that he's able to send a spare or two I'll post it up in my sales thread at the time but I won't know till at least after comic con, so if you're desperate for it don't wait for me.
