IDW ongoing #29 preview

Out this week is Issue 29 of the ongoing series, and you can see a preview here.

I noticed that the intro page says 'Ben SIMMONS', but inside the comic it says 'Ben SIMPSON'.

An IDW error??? Surely that's not possible... :p

Can't see where this is going that will surprise or shock us...

Considering this is all meant to be going on whilst the main Autobot cast are on the rocket part of Omega Supreme on their way to Cybertron.

while i personally prefer the art on the earth pased arc then the other side (i think sometimes its hard to see what they are trying to do) the story seems pretty flat and too drawn out.... i do wonder hwat they are trying to acheive with this story..

i also wonder if and when they do the trades that they compile the two sides of the stories into individual volumes. not one here and one there in "issue order" i think it makes it a little disjointed in reading too.

Why does Jazz look like a bug? :U Goggles? come on.

My main beef with that artwork is I sometimes have trouble telling who's who. :(

They did it better in the Marvel UK G1 comics and G2 where two arcs were divided per issue rather than having to wait every second issue to follow each arc.

The trades are listed on Amazon with the "Earth" stories in one book and the "Cybertron" stories in the next book.

Thats interesting, because unless they do some weird stuff with the previous 4 or so issues, that would mean TPB with only 4 issues in each.

I'd love to see the sales figures for the Earth and Cybertron based stories, just to see if any earth based collection sold at all! :rolleyes:

Thanks Paulbot, Spotlight Prowl does need a home... and I can't believe that it has only been three issues on Earth... feels like more.
I like the earth story, and love more Prowl time, but it will be interesting to see how the collection reads with Prowl going "bonkers" in his spotlight before returning to his usual self in the ongoing story. :p
