Well, given that I don't live near a comic shop it looks like I'm now down to trades with IDW.

Im not buying issues for space reasons, thats not going to change, so I too will be back to trades except for regen.
Currently making quick copies of MTMTE just in case they vanish before trades come out. Resolution is a bit crap but readable.

This sounds ominous. I've been buying print copies anyway, but depending on the nature of the rights issue, which it sounds like they're only just discovering, it could be bad for those as well.
The thought that we could be denied comics as good as those IDW is putting out for the sake of what - the Titan TF magazine? - is pretty galling.

IDW twitter feed: @idwpublishing: Apologies for the confusion, there was a glitch that made Transformers digital comics unavailable in the UK that is being fixed right now.

Crisis averted!
It'd have been crummy not to have digital stuff, but I still think comixology is an awful medium, I generally avoid it, low-res comicbook rentals with little incentive to use (other than getting it quicker). I buy everything from Steve Bax and don't mind the wait.

I read that as "we worked out who to pay what and handed over the money". No mention of it being a technical glitch!

It does sound like that!  Personally, I have no interest in digital comics anyway. I waited for the trade for Autocracy, which I enjoyed and suspect that it reads better as a single volume. |

That almost sounded like Titan might have planned on doing a IDW reprint comic to replace the UK comic that has no been seen a new issue for 3 months. Titan trying to ensure they have people to buy the UK reprint comic.

I would buy that in a moment if it meant having the same stories in a larger format. RID, MTMTE and Autocracy packaged together in a UK-sized magazine format would be great. I'd still be hoping for oversized hardback collections though.

Hopefully it is all resolved now. I have switched to waiting until a month after digital releases come out anyway and the price drops. Saves a bit of cash and I don't need to be current.
