"Will DRIFT rejoin the AUTOBOTS-or forge a new fate in the farthest reaches of the galaxy?"

Please, please, please let it be 'B'...

(Also, it's interesting that Simon Furman doesn't seem to be getting any credit for the Universe profiles from #56-79.)

Okay, looks like it's been delayed again, as it is coming out next week not this week.

I've added into the first post a list of links to the two months of IDW comics before and after this one, to make my job a little easier when looking for a release date, and the changing over the stickied month topics.
(I'm sure it will be useful for some comic collectors as well.)

Due to dock-worker disputes at the West Coast ports in America, next week's comics will be delayed... and until the disputes are resolved, future issues are likely to be delayed as well. (I guess they aren't releasing the comics domestically until the international issues can leave the country)

This might effect the release of the digital versions, as apparently IDW don't want the digital version out before the print version.

Preview of Drift #4, which looks to be out this week.

Looks like next week should be pretty big for Transformers comics - MTMTE #38, Transformers #38, Primacy TPB, and the Complete Animated Almanac.
