>>6293596>I thought about reading IDW but I'm not sure where to begin or where to read it./co/ has a list that is in chronological order (rather than release order). But I'm fairly certain the IDW Collection volumes follow the chronological order as well. The IDW stuff is actually pretty good. Probably the best modern take on TF's we've gotten or will get. Of course, it isn't perfect, because comics never are due to the revolving door nature of the medium where writers/artists pop in and drop out all the time, but it's a good enough read and something I follow, being it's, well, as I said, the best modern TF interpretation we've got.
That said, theres some definite full retard moments in it. Arcee being turned into a tranny is one of them, because the writer at the time (Simon Furman) threw a fit about "no female TF's ever" and the editors at the time didn't bitch slap his crooked limey teeth out of his mouth. Which only gets weirder over time as IDW has tried to retcon and forget "hurr no female TF's" as hard as possible. All Hail Megatron was a weird bit because it basically discarded some of the previous stuff (but not really) and sort of served as a launching point for everything else. Some of the crossover stuff (TF VS Avengers, that weird zombie crossover) were just not worth reading at all. The recent season finale for Lost Light was a huge let down, too.
Other than those notable downpoints, it stays fairly consistent on the "good to not openly terrible" scale of quality, like most comics. So yeah, I'd say pick it up and start reading.
