Transformers: The IDW Collection Volume 2

Like the IDW collection volume 1, this one is also a fantastic bargain and is a keeper. The book is quite large at 392 pages, and is made from high quality paper. There is a string page keeper built in so you don't lose your place in the collection. The collection is just the stories in the description, and has NO extras. The art varies throughout the book. Strombringer has some of the best Transformers art you will ever see, while Escalation leaves much to be desired. You will enjoy the spotlight series included, as they all combine to tell an overall story with each containing bits and pieces. My favorite spotlight story is Ultra Magnus in the collection. You see him as an enforcer of the law and he is chasing down Scorponok. Great artwork in that story. This volume includes the following: STORMBRINGER: Written by Simon Furman and art by Don Figueroa ESCALATION: Written by Simon Furman, with art by E.J. Su SIXSHOT: Written by Simon Furman with art by Rob Ruffalo RAMJET: Written by Stuart Moore with art by Robby Musso ULTRA MAGNUS: Written by Simon Furman with art by Robby Musso KUP: Written and drawn by Nick Roche MIRAGE: Written by George Strayton, with art by Guido Guidi OPTIMUS PRIME: Written by Simon Furman with art by Don Figueroa.

And YES, It is a must for every transformers fan. Pages are in impecable condition. It even has a foreword from the artists in the beginning. And for all those thinking there are no cover arts. YES they are IN there. I love the hard covers of each Volume. A Decepticon / Autobot stands out with its massive bust. Way cool. My only hope if they would release the G1 Comic Encyclopedia again MTMTE Volumes, and in this very way. (But thats another story) --------------- About the shippment. I am from Chile and I requested this comic through Amazon. The comics did arrive in the nick of time (even earlier than I expected) and in impecable condition. So.. Five Stars for this. .............. One important notice. For all you transformers fans. I would highly recommend to buy these editions now. They are invaluable. If you wait too long (maybe a couple of years), maybe its value would raise too much and two things might happen. I will be out of stock! You might find it for an absurd price like it happened on the More Than Meets the Eye Transformer encyclopedia. (Right now the prices is very reasonable). And I will end once again. It's very much worth it.

This is a great collection of the idw universe and all of the story lines that they have created for the transformers universe. It is nice to see the transformers put into a deep and more dark world that fits in with the fact that they have been in a millions of years civil war that is still raging. Great for any true fan or for those who have started to be introduced to the many different alternative universes that make up the Transformers name and brand.

After about a 25+ year hiatus from reading comics I ran across IDW’s story of the transformers. I purchased a few of the smaller volumes but this was perfect. Puts the story in chronological order and cheaper than buying six or more smaller volumes

Awesome Extra stuff for reasons I don't understand Yarp Rapy Rpay Blerg B B B B B B H B

A good collection for those wishing to experience phase one of the original IDW run of books. Good writing, good art and a wonderful buy.

This is a pretty good collection of quality Transformer stories and spotlights. We get to see plenty of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Omega Supreme, Monstructor, and various other well know or lesser know bots. If you’re a fan you might have read some of this in the past, but I still recommend it because it’s a good read.

The binding is good and strong, I do wish this series was organised chronologically rather than by theme , so you may have to look up a reading guide. The book itself is beautifully crafted
