Affiliate Link – Transformers Classics Volume 8
IDW’s Transformers Classics series (Amazon.com search*) is a far superior take on collecting the Marvel Transformers comics than their first attempt. You see, the first time around the company hadn’t handled the legal issues so entire issues were left completely out of the first book. I was so very disappointed with the first volume I stopped even paying attention.
With Transformers Classics Volume 8* (scheduled for release next month) IDW closes down the original Transformers comics the right way. This latest run of collections is fantastic, with issue notes from Mark Bellomo and more than just issues #1 through #80 of the comics; this volume even includes the old Transformers Universe comics!
This entire series is a must grab if you were at all reading the Marvel Transformers comics of the eighties.
(Does this really mark the end of the series, or will IDW release Generation Two as a ninth volume in the line? I sure hope so!)
Volume 8 of Transformers Classics collects Transformers Universe #1-4, all character biographies from TF issues #47-49, 56-72, and 74-79, plus G.I. JOE and the Transformers #1-4. Also includes issues notes by Mark W. Bellomo.
