Transformers: Revolution #1 Zing Pop Culture Exclusive

[GoktimusPrime]

Wasn't aware the shop sold comics at all.

Ditto. This is news to me.

Ditto. This is news to me.

Apparently it is news to Zing as well.

Possibly stupid question, but are we sure this does apply to Australian ZING stores? Looks like both the initial posters are US based. Maybe it's a region thing.

The cover gallery in both comics list the exclusive as Zing Pop Culture, and the more recent Revolutionaris #1 even has the Zing logo on the cover. I confirmed they did get the exclusive with IDW.

Thanks,

I was thinking the same thing, perhaps it's British based thing as the Zing stores here sometimes carry comic trades from Marvel and DC but I've never seen Dark Horse, Image or IDW stuff there.

It would seem strange for them to get exclusives out from a smaller publisher out of the blue without any fanfare or media releases.

I'll keep an eye out and let you know if I spot them but perhaps an email to IDW to clarify what and where these zing exclusives are actually from.

I did e-mail IDW. It is confirmed that they went to Zing Pop Culture, and those stores, as near as I can tell, are only in Australia. They suggested they could be for a convention. Does Zing have conventions?

IDW essentially said they make exclusives, but have nothing to do with them after that. One would think if you're creating exclusive merchandise you would at least find out how it was meant to be used. They get their money and after that, they don't care.

Zing don't do conventions, but they do appear as vendors in conventions such as the EB Games Expo which is held in October.
