Transformers ROTF Comic Prequel: Alliance

[STL]

PhantomZone in Chatswood are terrible for only ordering in 1 or 2 extra Transformers comics, than what their standing order people ordered.

Guess Parra is probably the same.

Funnily enough, the crap comics that anyone could tell you werent going to sell (UK reprints, Saga of the Allspark) they seem to order in heaps of, but revelation, beast Wars and other more popular comics they order none of... go figure.

I think they expected b/c Saga of the Allspark had been limited to the UK there might be more demand since it spun right out of the movie.

With BWs stuff and Revelation, those had been having a pretty miserable track record so they didn't bother.

Do you guys ask about those comics if they don't have them? If you do that definitely heightens the chances of them ordering more in the future. Maybe not just you guys but if every fan who misses out goes in and asks, that'd result in at least 2-3 more copies ordered for the shelves

But I guess u can't blame them. They have to stay in business after all and why put something on the shelves that people have been walking away from? If I ran a comic shop, I doubt I'd order more than extra 1 or 2 copies of AHM or Beast Wars despite actually like the comics b/c I know the IDW TFs just don't sell well period.

I spoke to Phantom Zone Parramatta about Alliance and got told that their shipment got delayed... so hopefully I'll be getting it soon. (-_-)

I just read issue 3... This series goes from strength to strength. It's really building to the Movie. My Decepticon Movie toys have a renewed appreciation! Ssshhh, while I go spin Incinerator's blades.

And the name dropping was not even so obvious!

Mowry has improved as a writer, but I wonder if he has left himself too much to do with all these non-first-movie Decepticons roaming around (and I guess highly unlikely to appear in the sequel).

so after all four issues have been released was it a great comic series?

i like it although they could have fleshed it out a bit better

It was a nothing series. I feel quite stupid for buying it, as of course it adds nothing new to either movie, so as not to be spoilery or contradictory.

Defiance on the other hand is setting up everything...

I knew that coming in but I bought both series just for the Nizzi cover art. I'm very weak.
