Transformers IDW discussion thread [SPOILER WARNING]

[Paulbot]

There's plenty to like in IDW and a lot done better than Dreamwave, but the fact that it's so fan-friendly makes it a bit inaccessible to non-fans hurts it's chances of going on forever (as I'd like!). Dreamwave had two limited series before the ongoing which only got axed because of Pat Lee's dubious business practices.

The Mosaic confirms (some of) what happens, which is spoilerific. We know certain plot points now, although not the specifics. As I said I think the timing is bad and should have come out after Devastation #6.

IDW is a more serious (and more fluent) series, which does make it harder to get into (and somewhat intimidating to start if you missed out on Infiltration #0). Dreamwave never really had that problem, even though it's universe had some serious questions and inconsistencies after only a dozen issues.

It would be nice to have had the two running alongside one another at the same time, one serious series, one more laid back and reader friendly, but it wasnt to be.
