[GilSpiderig]

I've never read any of the transformers books, but if they finally bring Beast Wars into then I will be the first one to pick it up at my shop. Man I loved that show.

[Zachary J. Morrison]

I'll be picking up all those books, except for Duel Masters and Transformers: Armada - More Than Meets The Eye #3, I think.

[Wolverine]

I'm getting The summer special!

[Jordan]

^ same as you

BW is what got me into TF's, so I might check that book out

:J:

[Dragon]

I can't wait where there's Transformers there i will be

[blood rose]

does anyone know when Transformers/G.I.Joe #6 is coming out? that was a really great miniseries.

[LordofDreams]

so much transformers, and Devil May Cry! Not actually in to the transformers so just Devil May Cry for me.

[Cloud]

ALL OF THEM!!! (well except for Duel Masters)

[australianreaver]

The original Predacons have never looked better. I hope the Armada MTMTE series gets better as I was unimpressed by the first issue. The third volume of the Generation One series is the best TF comic around; I eagerly await each issue of that one.

[Radicals]

This month from Dreamwave...

1) Transformers: Generation 1: 5.
2) Transformers: Energon: 23.
3) Transformers: Summer Special.

...theres a Theme in there somewhere.

[mrhelm]

Transformers Summer Special and Transformers G1, of course. Dreamwave keeps the G1 series coming, and I'll keep buying them.

[GilSpiderig]

Are they going to bring Beast Wars into it? I remember there being a post about it somewhere, some time ago...anyone know?

Yes they are, they're staring off new series for Beast Wars, RID and Micromasters with the Summer Special.

I believe I remember reading that Micromasters was going to be a mini and the other two ongoing.

Thats what I remember anyway.

[ImpossibleM]

The Summer Special cover looks sweet--it reminds me of the old Marvel series, #25, which was probably one of the best stories of the uneven Marvel run.

[seth_raditz]

the artwork always looks so good... like the best i've seen in a comic for a long time. really captures what a transformer is, y'know? is the artwork inside just as good as the covers?
