Which current IDW comic are you enjoying the most?

Regeneration One - continuing the original series

More Than Meets The Eye - the crew of the Lost Light in space

Robots in Disguise - adventures on Cybertron

[The Doctor]

RG1, purely because it is in the only one I am reading at the moment. I haven't read the other two titles past #11 as yet and plan to catch up on them soonish. I am buying all the covers for RG1 which is taking up all my comics budget at the moment!

MTMTE by some distance. RG1 ain't doing it for me and I've been reading in trades

The other two I've been buying digitally. I like RID but MTMTE rocks big time

MTME, but it's pretty close with RiD. Not really enjoying Regen.

[Grand Moff Muffin]

Still collecting and enjoying MTMTE - great comic, though a lot of the time doesn't really feel like I'm reading Transformers. Fantastic space romp with a bunch of nutcases.

Never bought an issue of RID. Read lots of extracts/previews, but nothing ever caught my interest - always felt too much like stuff I'd read before. (Given my comment on MTMTE, maybe there aren't any genuinely new TF-concept stories to tell?)

Dropped RG1 after 5 issues and gave away my copies because I found the destruction of Earth too distasteful. _May_ pick up all the trades at the end if Earth and all its human cast somehow gets restored to life.

Best IDW series... TF UK Classics.

RG1, I love MTMTE, but RG1 still feels like the old Marvel UK comic to me and MTMTE can not compete with that feeling.

Also the Senior covers are just brilliant.

Very narrowly MTME, but it is very much a photo-finish with RG1. MTME has some fantastically casual-seeming world-building in the style I have come to expect from James Roberts, allied with a mismatched crew having somewhat crazed adventures in space. That said, Regeneration One is a fantastic continuation of the Marvel comic, capturing a lot of the tone and look of the comic in such a way that it feels like a genuine continuation, and it certainly catches my nostalgia gene.

Robots in Disguise is a book I stopped picking up a while back - not because it was particularly bad, but more that I wasn't interested in the story it was telling at that stage and other Transformers iterations are available.

MTMTE. There isn't a denser, more satisfying and more lovingly crafted comic out there.

I enjoy RG1, but even as a kid I preferred the earlier UK stuff to the later US stuff and things like the 20 year time jump and the situation with Earth don't quite fit perfectly as a continuation for me.

RID blows hot and cold; it never quite lives up to its promise but is still kind of compelling.

Honourable mention for Autocracy / Monstrosity ( / Primacy? ) which is enjoyable nonsense, especially for the art.

Awwww, so you've missed your favouritest TF ever showing up in RID as Circuit's cameraman?

[The Doctor]

Only for now. I'll get back to those series once the pre-orders for RG1 are all finished. My comics budget is very small these days.

RID has it's moments but they are pretty few and far between.
To be honest I didn't really like MTMTE when it started .... but I was kinda an idiot at the time .... and now it's completely my favorite.

[Philip Ayres]

In a straight shoot out now it's still MTMTE still by a country mile. Much better than RID is.

I thought the first few issues of RID, maybe the first three trades, were really good but somehow it just lost something right about the moment Starscream came to power.

Never thought RG1 felt quite right.
