Hey everyone,

Chris Ryall posted an updated release schedule for us over at the IDW boards:

Been a bit busy around here, but don't worry, a lot is happening and a lot of books are coming. We're even sending Megatron 4 to print next week! That has been the most delayed book ever for us, but it's almost done now...

Here's what's coming minus the Megatron in-store date, which I don't have yet (but it'll be early October, since we're printing it in Canada, not Korea):

Sept. 26:
TF Devastation #1
TF: Beast Wars: The Ascending #1
TF Sourcebook #1 (no, really!)

Oct. 3:
TF Magazine #3
TF UK Dinobots #2

Oct. 10:
Art of Transformers HC
TF: Devastation #2

Oct. 17:
TF: Beast Wars: The Ascending #2
TF Sourcebook #2

Oct. 24:
TF UK Dinobots #3

The TF Premiere Edition HC (a friggin' huge book, 500+ pages) and the Ramjet Spotlight are at the printer's now, too. We'll be finalizing Megatron 4 next week, and Dev 3, and I've already gotten some covers and pages from the NEXT Spotlight, which I should probably announce soon...

Thought you'd all appreciate the info!

Cheers!

Front paged and credited. Thanks and Alice said don't be late!

Seriously though, this is great news, and certainly gives me happy feelings for this week and comics!

[WhiteRabbit]

You're most welcome!

Great month ahead on the comic front!

Sweet Jeebus, can't they make up their friggin' minds?!

[Tigertrack]

No, that's what keeps us all wondering. They don't want to be predictable!

[Darth Bombshell]

They don't want to be predictable!

They also apparently want to drive me insane and piss me off in the worst way, obviously ignoring the fact that I have no sanity at all.

That's all bonus to them DB! Icing on the cake!

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yuk it up, dude.

In any event, I have to work on Wendsday, so I won’t be able to get them till the weekend. Thankfully, I get paid on Thursday, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

Wow, they really have been jutting these things around.

Guess I'll be running down to the comic shop on Thursday afternoon.
It's been too long without a proper Transformers release.

Wasn't Devastation #1 supposed to come out on the 19th? I drove my sick ass to the comic book store just to get it. The guy had no clue when it was coming in. I ended up walking around the store holding his cat, secretly seething about the book.

Check the Diamond Comics list (Darth Bombshell posts it here on the Monday/Tuesday every week) and if it aint on there ring your comic shop.

Personally I find it to be the best way to avoid long wasteful trips.
Of course I had to make the long wasteful trips about 4 times before I started doing that...

I included the diamond list for next week, and none of the TF titles are on it.

Not the most accurate then if Ryall speaks the truth. Maybe they will update on Monday.

Best bet is a little phone call to your local dealer...

[WhiteRabbit]

The diamond lists are only "finalized"* on the Monday before shipping day. Personally, I don't even look at the "shipping next week" pages.

*Even then, things may not be set in stone.

Yeah, it was. Unfortunately, because of George Bush's latest attempt to scare the American people, it didn't get out.
