You just need enough people to hype it up and you'll have an instant mega-key, ultra-grail.  

What could have been...?

Punisher/Nick Fury: Rules of the Game

I remember seeing the preview pages when I reread the 1987 series.  I guess it was never completed.  Such a shame.

Loving that pence power!  It's nice to see the UKPVs appreciated!

How desirable and sought after are Transformers comics from the now defunct Dreamwave Productions. from Canada. 2002 to 2004.?

Apart from some of the variants and retailer incentives, not very sought after.  

Galvatron cover of #0, Megatron cover of v3 #4, and Ultra Magnus cover of v2 #6 come to mind.  

I forgot how good some of these earlier issues looked with the combo of Whilce Portacio & Scott Williams handling the pencils and inks.  I reread parts of the series about 8 years ago but might need to bust out that box of Punisher v2 and give it another go.  I think people forget that the Mike Baron written issues were pretty good and gave Frank an actual personality.  While I love Ennis' run on Punisher, Frank was written as a killing machine and not always as a person.  

I won't discriminate.  Very cool sketch!

I remember buying a couple of these at Toys R Us back in the day.  The X-Men Phalanx Covenant, X-Men 2099 #1-4, and TF Generation 2 set (really a GI Joe set with TF G2 #1).  Definitely have a soft spot on my head for these.  

I did happen to finish the main TF series and the War's End mini series.  Both deal with a different aspect of the end of the war before the start of the next big war and compared to how Phantom Meance-like the 2019 continuity began, I felt IDW has managed to make it interesting.  Not much left to finish off the deal before the license goes bye bye.  

Found a few in the dollar bin. Probably use them as trade bait.

Modern Newsstands is this threads title, correct? You may want to move those to the copper age newsstand thread. 

What is copper age if not yesterday's modern age?

Has Last Bot Standing started yet? If so, is it any good? I've totally fallen away from new Transformers comics, sad to say. I'm eagerly looking forward to the handover. 

I agree with @JBrown.  I'm intrigued to see where it is going.  It started a little slow and then shifted gears.  I don't want to say I like it yet, but I'm getting there.  

Transformers: Fate of Cybertron One Shot to come out on June 29.

"The thrilling conclusion to the saga that started in Transformers (2019) #1! The Decepticons have the upper hand. Cybertron is falling. And Optimus Prime has an imploder-possibly the most dangerous Cybertronian-built weapon in history-to his head. This is the Autobots last stand. But what does triumph look like in a desperate situation? The War for Cybertron may end here, but the Autobots and Decepticons aren't done yet!"

Their words, not mine.  This flew under my radar for some odd reason.

Do U.K price variants count? Just bought it last night so it will take a bit to cross the pond. Single highest. 

They count to me.  I love me some pence copies!  Nice pickup!

Got a few in for my Thing and Dazzler CPV runs. Surprisingly, the Dazzler 41 was the hardest one to find in the series.

Could be a silly thought but since Shattered Glass ended on a cliffhanger, any chance IDW concludes it before losing the license?  My gut feeling is no but wouldn't be surprised if IDW tries to milk the property a little bit more.

That answers that.  

The Twisted World of Transformers: Shattered Glass Explodes with New Sequel Series from IDW

Looks like August 2022 is the start time.  Cover solicits for #1 so far.  Hasbro Pulse will have exclusive covers paired with toys as well.
