my LCS did not get them (I unpacked the books myself) and I called 3 other stores in my area and they did not get them either. Midtown Comics also released their list for next week (which they release every Wednesday) and OP #18 and LL #17 are on that list
Predakwon
I'm guessing OP #18 or LL #17 were released digitally? Just not physical floppies
Seibertron reviewed them.
Omegax80
Ditto. My LCS didn't even get OP #18 or LL #17.
Either Diamond or IDW goofed.
No big deal. I'd rather have it spread out than all at once and have a drought for a month.

Idea & Design Works, no, more like, I Don't KnoW, when the books, will be available, for purchase.
omegafix
nope, I unpacked the books myself at my LCS and no OP #18
Omegashark18
And I hope that’s the case, cause I’ve had my mind set on three comics.
Jalaguy
Unclear. comiXology, at least, still has OP #18 and LL #17 slated for tomorrow.
Omegashark18
I guess that applies to digital as well.
Jalaguy
IDW have apparently sent out a request that, despite having received them with this week's shipment, comic shops don't sell Optimus Prime #18 and all the other titles originally intended for next week until next week.
Omegax80
My LCS just let me know only Optimus Prime #17 came out this week.
kwanzaabot
>blurb promises that Onyx Prime will change Cybertron forever
>series gets rebooted a month later
Wow. The stakes literally could not be higher.
hardlurk
I hope Comixology manages to release everything on the correct day, but I have my doubts.
CleverNamePendingatron
I just got my subscription email from comiXology saying that only OP #17 was coming out next week, so I was all ready to trust that, then I see this. Guess I’ll go with Barber. One would assume he knows what he’s talking about.
Omegashark18
Well I’ll be.
Joey Slick
It'd also be cool if those companies made sure the artists that created the comic books drew the characters in a way that allows fans to know what character they are looking at.
Syndicator
According to John Barber on twitter, OP #17 and #18 are indeed out on the same day, next Wednesday:

David from IDW chalked it up to a screwup sending stuff out:

So prepare for a double dose of ‘The Falling’ apparently!
Grimlock528
I see it!
Grimlock528
And then in the beginning they were mini-series’s.

Why does that last cover remind me of Ultra Magnus' "Damn it, open!" ?moment from the movie
