Subscriptions copy still not in the post - should have been out last monday. If Titan cancel it could they end up doing a Panini & not tell anyone.

Got the issue now & seems like every issue is going to be 32 pages now.
The story in this issue follows on from episode 17 - which has not been shown in the UK - so people reading the comic don't know what happens to events Jack is talking about.

unless they watch them on Youtube like most of us likely have lol
I got the issue yesterday, nice little story (threw the gun thingie in my wardrobe of course) Took me a little longer to find than normal though. Normallyit's only in Martins, but yesterday it wasn't there, went hunting, and ended up finding it in WH Smiths (where it isn't normally found for me)

#6 comes with an over sized front cover & a very big price increase over £3. I'll check if its got extra free gifts in the shops compared to post copy. £3.25.
No extra pages. Starscream story inside.

I'm amazed that this comic continues to be published. The movie fanbase must have dropped off by now and I find it difficult to imagine that Prime has attracted a huge number of readers. It can't survive until the next movie, can it?

It must be getting readers or, like Animated, they'd have killed it by now.
(So now we know Prime is more popular in the UK than Animated...)

The story was bit better this issue with it feeling more like fitting in with the cartoon than just stand alone story not related to anything.
Also the toy line release could be a good thing too.

Front page declaration of "The President must die!!!" and the inclusion of a free toy gun with a scope on the top might not have been the best idea....

#7 - like the poster at the end of the issue. Is this Hasbro issued or Titan done?

The story is good but the art isn't as good as last issue. Some of the close up face shots don't look right - maybe was rushed for this issue.

What's going on? There's no sign of issue 8 in the newsagent I usually get it from, Tesco, Asda nor WH Smith.

Fortunately, I was able to track down a copy in Swansea's WH Smiths. They had four or five in stock.

Just read it - could have been better with 11 pages without the human body swap reveal right away.

A welcome price reduction in comparison to the previous issues, as well (though 25p more than two issues ago). Aesir has a write-up.
