IDW reprinting DWs Armada comic (IDWs Oct TFs comics)

[griffin]

To be released in October is the first of Dreamwave's Armada comic compilations. This could see the entire Armada and Energon comic reprinted as compilations (DW only did 2 Volumes, up to Issue 11), and hopefully unprinted Energon material when DW folded.

Also listed for October release is more UK reprinted material - Space Pirates and Time Wars.
Plus Animated #3, All Hail Megatron #4, Saga of the Allspark #4, and the Art of IDWs Transformers (which could be a re-release).

I would like to buying those comics again in trade format. I prefer the trade format for ease of access.

If they did include some of the unpublished Dreamwave stuff that would be great, even if it was just a gallery of the penciled art and the scripts/plot outlines.

That the spirit! Gotta catch 'em all!

What are the chances of them resurrecting and completeing War Within?

Better than them ever finishing off Hearts of Steel...

Hearts of Steel was finished... ???

I'll be keen on the new stuff. I prefer single comics for some odd reason - even though a trade is cheaper and easier to read..

To me (Yes, I know I'm an idiot ), by including these concept sketches at the end of the comics tells me there were plans made to include them as a part of the story in future issues...

Not the reprint everyone was crying for but I've been contemplating grabbing the Armada/Energon comics for a long while now so I'll probably bite

re: War Within
They could reprint The War Within but I don't think there's much chance of them continuing from it. Two problems I see could be...
1/ DW could still own the rights to the War Within designs and story etc. Being given the licence to reprint those comics doesn't mean that its contents becomes IDW's intellectual property (after all, Titan Books have reprinted a lot of G1 issues but I think Circuit Breaker, Death's Head, Centurion et al. remain property of Marvel Comics).
2/ I think IDW are more interested with keeping things within their own continuity as far as their retro-G1 series is concerned. They're more likely to write a story about Nova Prime and the Ark-1 mission rather than continuing the War Within.
