Via Previews World we have a look at IDW Transformers: Optimus Prime First Strike #1 Retailer Incentive Cover.
A great cover featuring Optimus Prime going into battle with an energy sword. This is the special issue that is part of the new IDW mega-crossover in the Hasbro Universe: First Strike.

This is \"Optimus Prime – First Strike #1\" but I thought there was already a First Strike. So I went to TFwiki and see that there is also a \"Gi Joe – First Strike #1\" but it\'s a one-shot, so there won\'t be a #2. Why not just have it say \"one-shot\" on the cover? So is this OP First Strike #1 of many more, or is it also merely a one-shot?
There is also the First Strike book, that goes from #1-5. But that\'s separate from these other First Strike books.
This type of stuff is really confusing. IDW is not doing themselves any favors if they\'re trying to get new fans. I have basically every single issue floppy of the IDW run so I\'m better informed than most on how the books are organized and this just frustrates me and makes me not want to buy it.
This is all aside from whether the books are actually any good.

Wow, Optimus sure is lucky that his enemies are able to hit everything in the vicinity except him!
