That is awesome!

Well, Prime has the inside track now. The spirit of Sparkplug is giving him pointers about the nature of life on Earth. He just needs to become more familiar with the visions so that they don't distract him.

So - I went with digital copies of the series so far - but the TPB exclusive covers are starting to be revealed - is anyone else thinking of picking them up? Or does everyone have the individual copies already?

I really like this Stewart McKenny/John Law one from Comics Etc.

What's everyone else doing?

Just read the Free Comic Book Day edition. Megatron's roaming free! More back story. More death. More character introductions. Arooooo!

I am now caught up on the comics, it slipped me by that last week was comic day, time flew.

Issue 8 was good, though it pained me to read the jetfire page. That was good stuff, and really emotional too.

E-copies are great if you have very limited storage space. Also, you avoid postal costs and/or travel costs. However, there's a chance of occasional drive failure and they're useless without power.

I buy the physical copies since it forces me to get some exercise walking a mile to the nearby comics superstore. When I'm at the superstore, I can browse other material: comics, books, toys, models, videos, etc. I then have to walk another half mile to reach the nearest Underground station for the journey home after work.

I used to buy multiple covers but then realised that this was pointless without a high level of collecting zeal and/or a good resale value. I got rid of my excess multiples and now my Transformers comic collection fits into a single, moderate-size cupboard. I have nearly all G1, Dreamwave, IDW and Skybound.
