Skybound has announced -- or rather, teased -- a new Kickstarter which is sure to get some attention from fans of the old Marvel Comics The Transformers books -- and perhaps even more so those interested in the more obscure supplementary material produced by Marvel UK.
From the Kickstarter page:
Worth noting is that this would appear to be a different, more exclusive offering than the recently-solicited Transformers Compendium, Volume 1 trade paperback that was shared to our forums from Bleeding Cool by ZakuConvoy:
As you can see, this version, due out on June 10th, only collects The Transformers #1-46 and the four-issue The Transformers: Headmasters limited series, with no mention of the UK stories being included at all, much less woven in.
Compared to the US series' 80 issues in a four-issue limited series (plus spin-offs, etc.), the UK series ran for a whopping 332 issues, using original material to fill the gaps between the release of the US stories, which were typically divided into two parts each to fill the weekly (versus monthly) schedule.
All of which is to say, if the Kickstarter winds up being comparatively priced for the amount of content against the $64.99 mass retail trade, plus the inclusion of hard covers... well, that's looking to be quite a few Shanix you'll have to fork over for the Kickstarter version.
Which one are you looking to get, if any?
