There's something weird on page 10 of GI Joe/Transformers 1: the art goes all the way to the top of the page without the usual white border. Was this a problem with the original printing, or has the art here been reprinted slightly larger than usual (the side borders and speech bubbles don't seem to indicate that)?

Good to know, I've been having trouble getting to sleep lately, that will definitely help.
I've often wondered about how well the split between 'yay, crossover!' and 'no crossover' correlates between people who read the UK comic growing up and who didn't. I have to imagine the trauma of four months of having only 5 pager B&Ws to read is still with people.

5 US issues. is that the lightest of the Hachette books so far in regards to pagecount? i believe the smallest is Autocracy with 118 pages of that and spotlight: thundercracker, thought 5 US issues would be smaller as you say.

By the way, anyone know where the Wheeljack on the cover of Joe/TF 1 is from? It's not from any of the covers, and not from the usual sources. It looks maddeningly familiar, but I can't place it.

But unless Scioli worked on something else other then Transformers vs GI Joe (already in 73/74), Previews have got it wrong. Of course. I'd completely forgotten they were in Volume 73 & 74. Previews must have re-used the old blurb for the catalogue, then corrected the contents in an edition of Previews Update. I'd imagine FP got the revised info from there then. As you were.

Can someone please identify the pic of Megatron below Goldbug on the cover of Realignments. I can't reach my online site while at work. Just the issue would be fine. Thanks!

That Wheeljack is so weird. Why now? Why him? Why have we had to put up with 68 issues of variable Dreamwave art if this was an option?

That Wheeljack is so weird. Why now? Why him? Why have we had to put up with 68 issues of variable Dreamwave art if this was an option? Indeed! I would have been happy with just taking Guido and Don Figueroa art from various sources, as I'm sure they have drawn every G1 character multiple times. I know they usually try to pick a character of some significance in the story for the cover, but some of the Dreamwave art used is just horrendous, like Swerve's. I guess they used existing art that was easy to slap on the cover for the most part, like the profiles. This Wheeljack picture is something of an anomaly. Perhaps the original artist had the Photoshop files to separate him out of the picture easily.

Hachette's various facebook pages constantly have to field Qs on why this is still happening. They don't want to reopen until the entire warehouse move is done. I feel sorry for those who still have a Hachette sub - some haven't had deliveries for two months.

They should have some sort of note on the webpage. And those folks not getting paid-for subscriptions is just daft. I hope Furman's not taking heat for it.

I can't see how the range editor can be blamed for distribution and warehouse issues.

I think I had one that was a bit late, but the next followed quickly a couple of weeks later.

Just been and got it, risking buses full of unconcerned idiots in both directions. All 8 issues of Revolutionaries - and for some reason, Furman’s Intro and the character recaps are at the back.
