I would agree in theory. But, in practice, when numbering systems are as fluid as they are, the high numbers seem less credible.

Re: Comics are awesome.
I wonder how many total Transformers issues IDW has run, and what number they'd be up to if it was all counted as one series?Dominic wrote:-so, "Transformers" #125 anyone?

Re: Comics are awesome.
Um, I believe that'd be one hundred and twenty-five.

Re: Comics are awesome.
The number I come up with for IDW's G1 storyline (discounting the Continuum issue, Avengers and Infestation crossovers) up to issue 20 of the ongoing is: 114.
Re: Comics are awesome.
I would put that at 116 then only because of the events that occur in Infestation and their impact on the ongoing. Continuum doesn't count because it was just a rehash of the events in that universe so far and Avengers I'm pretty sure was always meant to be a self contained continuity separate from the ongoing.

Re: Comics are awesome.
Chris Ryall had said in interviews around the time that story came out that it does take place in-continuity. But being a cross-company crossover, I don't think they can acknowledge it as such in any of the stories, so it might as well be a separate continuity, which is why I didn't count it.Shockwave wrote:and Avengers I'm pretty sure was always meant to be a self contained continuity separate from the ongoing.

Either way, it's not counting up to issue 20, it's counting up to the end of Chaos.

Looks like IDW is going the GI Joe route (God damn it) after Costa leaves the book and splitting it in half to fit Moar Schtuff in there. Mind, we've had Spotlights running concurrently to the main books before, and stuff like MaxDinos and Wreckers running alongside AHM and the ongoing, so I guess 'technically' we're not really seeing anything different.
This might also be their attempt to recoup on possible lost sales from a lack of a constant Movie tie-in book.

Gonna move take this to the ongoing thread.

-probably should have thrown that "issue #125" barb up there to begin with.

Flashpoint: Kid Flash Lost #1 of 3
This is only the second Flashpoint tie-in that I've bought, mainly because none of the tie-ins really "count." In another couple of months, those character versions will be history, and they aren't really different enough from the regular DC characters to make them compelling reading on their own. However, with Kid Flash, the story revolves around the real Bart Allen from the regular DC universe, who remembers how things should be, just like Barry Allen. And like Allen, he's lost his speed. Another villain is revealed, Bart gains a real-DC universe ally, and it appears that some answers may be found at the end of this short mini-series. In short, this issue is actually relevant to the main Flashpoint plot and features an actual DC character rather than a reimagined version, and that made it worth reading.
