Friend of TFW2005 D-Drive has sent us the latest list of comics, due to hit stores next Wednesday, 21 September! Next week will see the release of Till All Are One #4 continuing the ongoing arc involving the Combaticons, and also the outbreak of Revolution! IDW’s continuity redefining miniseries that brings Transformers into continuity with MASK, G.I. Joe, Micronauts, and more begins on Wednesday with Revolution #1 and the Rom: Revolution tie-in! Be sure to check them all out – and read on for the full list descriptions.
TRANSFORMERS TILL ALL ARE ONE #4 (regular, subscription, 1-in-10 variants)
(W) Mairghread Scott (A/CA) Sara Pitre-Durocher
SWINDLE LIVES! And ONSLAUGHT knows the perfect way to unlock the secrets in his head. As the COMBATICONS rampage through Iacon, can IRONHIDE and his newly formed police force stop them before they annihilate STARSCREAM-and anyone else who gets in their way?
REVOLUTION #1 (OF 5) (regular, subscription A, B, C, D, blank, 1-in-10,1-in-25 and 1-in-50)
(W) Cullen Bunn, John Barber (A) Fico Ossio (CA) Tradd Moore
THE REVOLUTION BEGINS! Explosions rip across the Earth-and all signs of blame point to OPTIMUS PRIME and the TRANSFORMERS! G.I. JOE refuses to go quietly-and they assemble heroes big enough to stop the invaders! ACTION MAN and M.A.S.K. fight for humanity-but where do ROM and the MICRONAUTS stand? Celebrating more than a decade of stories by IDW and HASBRO, this unprecedented bi-weekly event draws everything together-and leaves nothing standing. The REVOLUTION is here-TAKE A STAND!
ROM REVOLUTION #1 (regular, subscription, blank and 1-in-10 variants)
(W) Chris Ryall (A) Ron Joseph (CA) Ashley Wood
A REVOLUTION tie-in one-shot! ROM’s enemies, the DIRE WRAITHS have infiltrated G.I. JOE at the highest levels, clashed with the TRANSFORMERS over ORE-13, and now… stalk a lone stranger? Why would evil aliens bent on world domination terrorize one anonymous person? The answer is bigger and more sinister than you’d ever imagine!

Yeah, the first six issues of Micronauts make up one arc, so I'm afraid you're probably going to be pretty lost if you start right in the middle there.

Thanks, I started ROM, which was cool, and I unfortunately started on Micronauts #4 since that's where the Road to Revolution supposedly started according to the checklist. I was completely lost. So I'll have to track down #1-3.
I have zero knowledge of ROM, other than the Dire wraiths from Uncanny X-men, and zero knowledge of Micronauts either.

I've been enjoying Micronauts a lot, and Rom is fun as well.

TMNT Ongoing and Back to the Future are great reading and highly recommended. The other Revolution books are decent, but not as good as Transformers. ROM and Micronauts are worth checking out.

Anyone here read more IDW than Transformers? Debating reading the other Revolution books, even the "Road to" ones. There are a bunch coming out next week
Omegashark18
That would explain a lot.

Apparently, some of it is the result of IDW using multiple different printers for their books. Reportedly, the reason why MTMTE #56 shipped ahead of ex-RID #56 was because the printer doing ex-RID were late getting the issue printed, whilst the one doing MTMTE was on time.

Makes me wonder why they can't seem to get the release order right… Is the system for this really that complicated?
Then again, production delays happen all the time.
Jalaguy
Unless they slip into October, the #57s of the main books ought to come out the next week, so it wouldn't be too long a wait if one wanted to hold off on starting Revolution. I'm certainly tempted to do that.
Omegashark18
It's going to feel a little awkward having the final issues of Titans Return released after Revolution gets started. Going to hurt the flow of the story again.

I`m still ify about how they`ve gone about fusing every thing …. seems REALLY forced …. but It`s all good considering who / what all is involved in the story/s …… interesting .
