IDW reprint last year's Titan Transformers (2007) prequel stories, starting with Senior-drawn "Optimus Prime" and Roche-drawn "Megatron" in the first issue.
I think I prefer the strips in the smaller, "US" format. In fact, the text height on the lettering now looks normal at this new size and I did wonder if the lettering was oversized in the first place for this eventuality.
No cover-mounted fabulous free gift however.

I flicked through it and it did look good at that size. I'm happy with the Titan digest version though. The lettering also looks better in that smaller size.

Will this series reprint every Titan UK issue or just select ones?

I presume they'll reprint each and every UK story in sequence.

Surely if they do that the comic will catch up eventually. I'm actually thinking that they might consign it to a 5 or 6 issue run and then drop it for a few months until there is enough of a gap between Titan UK and the reprints.

I'd say that's pretty much what they'll do given that IDW only has one official ongoing title in Fallen Angel.

I much prefer the stories in 'US format' and I'll probably eBay my TFUKs at some point. The Titan comic is a bit too large for my liking, the panels don't make the best use of the paper size, and the back up strips and free gifts etc. don't do much for me.
On the other hand the Starscream letters page is entertaining.

I think my UK TF comics will end up in the cupboard as I do prefer the smaller size. I do agree that there isn't a great deal of attention being paid by many of the artists to the space available and what can be done with it. I'm a big fan of the form and structure that can be applied on a comic page and it's something that is neglected (not just the TF comic but in general) far too often.

The writer contributes as well as to how a page is used so it cuts both ways. I do agree though that the page size could be used better.

I guess it all depends whether it is being done Marvel style or full script.
