I'm still waiting to see a price-point on this. It's 8 pages a chapter so if it's over $2 they can whistle.

Needs to be 69 or 99p anything more and they can piss off.

$1 a chapter (so probably 69p? then) which is reasonable. I'll give it a go.

I enjoyed it! Thankfully it's properly paced for an 8-page chapter and evokes a TMUK/2000AD feel I thought. 69p is a decent price-point and I like the fortnightly frequency.
That's 2 for 2 on IDW's 2012 relaunch so far. Let's hope RID (and Regeneration One later in the year) keep the momentum going.

Trying to download this from Comixology for my Android phone (Samsung Galaxy S2), but it's been stuck on 'purchasing' for about 20 minutes. Anybody had this problem? The only other comic I've downloaded was the free issue of AHM, and that worked fine.

Enjoyed part 1.
Loved the slightly less than noble Orion Pax that we are seeing, well paced and written for the size of installments. When put together I think it will be a dense read.

Someone else mentioned it in one of the other threads, but I like that these new series are (from the get-go) tying in to previous stories rather than going in a new direction and then trying to make it fit later. Anyway another #1 and another "interested to see where this goes". I'm enjoying IDW Transformers at the moment.

I wish people would stop saying good things about this - I don't want to read comics online. Stop tempting me.

This is my first Comixology experience and I found reading it on my iPhone quite frustrating, not sure I can really judge it until I read it full-page later. I'm glad to see some follow-up to Chaos Theory though at the same time it doesn't look like it will be quite as dense and satisfying.

Finally got it to download. Not sure what the chuntering download was all about.
It was alright, but didn't set my mind aflame. Some of the art, as with what I saw with Chaos, was pretty, some of it was rather hard to follow (but clearer than Chaos. And from what I've read on the IDW board, the artist seems like a nice guy, learning his trade, so I'm happy to see how he develops). The dialogue was a bit flat and the charcterisation broad, but the story potential is rich, so I'll be sticking with it for a while.
If nothing else, it's nice to see comic form innovated with.

I wish people would stop saying good things about this - I don't want to read comics online. Stop tempting me. It's only 8 pages a chapter so should not be too irritating to read if you don't like online stuff. And of course there will be a print version at some point, but I imagine IDW are not daft enough to announce it out of the gate. If they did, they would kill digital sales of it stone dead before giving it a chance in a different marketplace. -Ralph |

Having now read part one of Autocracy I am pleased to see that IDW are two-for-two so far with the Transformers relaunch.
It is a competent piece, feels structured properly for the eight page format and if I hadn't been told it was the same artist who did what I read of Chaos I would never have known. Pacy, interesting, and with a decent level of content-density to it (I'd agree that it does have that 2000AD sort of feel to it). Quite good stuff. Probably not going to follow it digitally at this stage but when I get myself an iPad it will likely be an early digital acquisition.

I'm not interested in a digital only comic
I'll read it if they do a print version like a TPB or whatever, but otherwise I'm not bothering with it

Only read part 2 once and very quickly, so I may well change my views, but I have to say I thought it was pants. The dialogue was like lead and that new Prime? Oh dear. The art was excellent and improving from issue to issue.

Not as bad as I thought; at least a lot of story was covered, but I still think the dialogue is clunky and the pantomime villain not much more convincing than than the Fallen. It's probably a pair of trendy boxer shorts, rather than a pair of yellowing nerd y-fronts:-)

There's a small error (on iPod at least) as it skips past a line of Strarscream's. Didn't particularly wow me this issue but I quite like the design of the new Prime.

Caught up on Chapter 3 and still enjoying it. I found Soundwave's increasingly ludicrous attack strategies hilarious. -Ralph |

Great stuff, perfectly paced stuff and I agree about your points on Soundwave.

Good news that it is being printed. I wonder if they are going to have any features in it?

Four chapters in and it's clear this is Sunbow in style, but it's the only time the Sunbow style has been properly adapted to work as a comic so I'm fine with it.
