As someone who's read RiD mostly through summaries on TFWiki is it worth it to read the actual issues? (I did start actually getting issues after Dark Cybertron)

They also have all of these in a bundle for even less per book:
Transformers Bundle
$149.99 for the bundle vs $215.59 if bought separately.

^They are (or should be). If you check Last Stand of the Wreckers (which I bought today) it says "Kindle/Comixology" or something to that effect next to the paperback option, at the sale price. I haven't checked any other books but I don't see why the same shouldn't apply.

So if I buy off of Comixology, will that work on my Kindle? I am surprised Amazon is not matching the prices as Comixology is part of Amazon now?
Digilaut
Oooh nice! There's still a couple I don't own in any form and would like to read. Time to catch up! Thank you!

I have most of the "-ation" and "-acy" series and all of RiD/MtMtE, and I'd love to fill the gap in the middle with the old main-title series. However, I'd rather wait until after payday to actually make the purchase. Is there any word as to how long the sale lasts for?
Yep. I usually download the PDF backup of each issue, since I prefer that to the web reader.

Comixlogoy offers downloads of digital backups for comics. I'm not sure if it's for all comics, but they defiantly do for Transformer comics.
Beemer
Yeah, what this guy said, only more eloquently than I had time to muster. I can't tell you the angst that "buying" TV shows on Amazon Prime has caused me, versus having a DVD backup and my platform-agnostic digital copies.

Exactly!
Though I was 1 cent off from being able to buy MTMTE Volume 8 (which is a dollar more for some reason).
GoLion
I've already rebought most of IDW's Transformers comics digitally anyway. I think this is a great deal for those that are trying to catch up.
Honesty
Fair enough!
If this was another humble bundle deal, I'd say Fak it and just buy anyway, since it would be going to a good cause. But maybe wait for an Amazon sale for the physical books
Hot Shot.
Boo digital photos
Boo digital video games
Boo digital movies
Something something current year John Oliver meme.

I'll take issue with that… They may not go up in value, but when you get them at this kind of discount, they'll hold their value so you can probably at least get most, if not all, your money back down the road. With digital, you a license for as long as someone supports it. After that, you are SOL.
Plus, as I said, I just hate reading on a screen. I want paper in my hand.
It's a great deal for those who like digital… Just not for me.
Matty
Thanks boss
For those not digging digital comics … I get it. I'd suggest giving it a try though. These can be read on a desktop, tablet, and mobile phone. It's a difference experience but worthwhile.
Honesty
Meh. I love the TF comics but here is the honest thing:
They're not worth Jack shat. It's not the type of medium that generates value over time. It's an amazing read. Fantastic art style (some of the best I ever seen – especially MTMTE). But not worth anything really.
So why would you want the paper copies? They'd cost you more, not worth anything really, and will just take up space.
I personally absolutely head-over-heels love reading comics on my kindle fire. It may be smaller than a comic book but the images are crystal clear, I can zoom in if I want, digitally bookmark shit. It's insanely great. A huge collection at the touch of a button. No mess . And cheaper!

Hard copies are where its at. Digital sale is a cool way to go if you gotta catch up on what's up
Beemer
Boo digital copies.
Honesty
Don't know if I ever mentioned it, but awesome sig.
Also in other news: YES. All TF fans should check out the IDW books
Don't be afraid you'll like them!! You can still like G1 everyone. I assure you. There is room for new stuff though. Don't be like your parents who listen to the same 50's and 60's music even until meow lol give it a chance!
rework
I was ready to jump on these… But it looks like these are just digital copies. I just can't enjoy reading comics on a screen.
