Thanks to fellow 2005 boards member The Kup, we have IDW Transformers: Optimus Prime #8 Regular Cover in 3 versions: pencils, color and textless. The covers were shared via Josh Burcham and Kei Sama on Twitter. As we can see, Jazz is taking a lot of attention.

(W) John Barber (A) Casey W. Coller (CA) Kei Zama

A few books have been released. The reviews on Amazon JP are quite positive, even mentioning stuff like War Within.
I could only find a couple of actual JP releases. I should imagine that there is a market for imported comics out there just like there is here in the UK.

I laughed when I read that one.

Do it with style, Jazz!

SICK cover!
Heliblade
Looking forward to this more than the previous issues, quite honestly.
Sovietbot
At the sight of this cover, immediately remember this picture!

I'm 99% certain All Hail Megatron, if nothing else, has been released over there as a hardcover. I hope if nothing else they've gotten Wreckers but wouldn't know. Don't know if they get single issues or even paperbacks of anything else though.

Sort of off-topic but; are the IDW books sold in Japan?
The thought randomly popped into my head last night and i felt like asking.
Rockdown
Well in his defence, at least he didn't kill the deputy.
Megastar
I'm guessing they'll bring up Jazz killing that sheriff.
Bumblebee2000
Was probably dropping after #6 but like the sound of this and the previous issue. If only a constant aftermath made enough sense to be possible…
Plus this cover looks to be worth the price of admission, thanks for sharing.
Black Convoy
Thanks for sharing! To the front!
