Galaxies ends with # 13.
Last issue appears to be issue #12, unless I'm misreading?
Yeah, my bad. Typo.

They ran out of ways to eat poop.
EDIT: I love anthology books and always have, but it's been a truism in the business for at least twenty years that they aren't successful, and I imagine this is yet another data point supporting that.

"Storm Horizon", Part Three! Outfitted with heavy-duty battle armor and nearly alone, Ultra Magnus must go head-to-head with a fleet of enemy ships and a black hole if he ever wants to save the rest of his crew and Alpha Trion! It's wall-to-wall action as he finally faces the mastermind behind his recent troubles in the thrilling final issue of Transformers Galaxies that leads into the next major events of the Transformers ongoing, starting this fall!'
I wonder how it'll lead into the main series. Maybe they unearth some ancient technology that'll be used in the main series. Or they'll learn something, like Cybertron is dying, which'll change everything?
Anyway it'll probably be delayed.
I sure wish I hadn't misspelt my username.....

Yeah. It's sad but hardly shocking. Good on them for giving it a crack. I wonder if it might have lasted slightly longer if they hadn't been wrecked by pandemic problems.
Honestly, while it's hard to tell given we only have non-digital, pre-pandemic numbers and only a handful of issues at that, but what really seemed to hurt it was the 3 month delay between November and February. Going from Issues 2 (October) to Issue 3 (November) dropped less than 200 issues. Going from 3 to 4 (February) dropped almost a thousand, and it's been dropping in 600 issue chunks for the next couple issues, then the pandemic hit.
Here's something I haphazardly slapped together.
Again, I got to stress these are only physical sales and do not include digital.

I loved the Spotlights and really hoped this would fill that gap. Obviously the Spotlights were a hard sell, and I don't know what the answer is.Maybe they should just bring back Spotlights. I like character-focused stories, but multi-parters seem a bit much for a cast as big as Transformers.

Part of me wonders if IDW will bring back James Roberts to try and recreate that MTMTE magic.
Didn't Lost Light prove the magic is gone?
Posted 28 July 2020 - 07:32 AM
Not really. Lost Light proved the trouble of trying to stick the landing / of multiple ongoing years-long subplots / on a compressed schedule / involving characters that may have grown stale / but the writer couldn't bear to part with.
Giving James Roberts a Spotlight here and there, or something contained like Galaxies wouldn't have any of those problems. If he could give IDW2 the occasional two-parter like Ratchet's trip to Delphi, I'd be totally down for it.

Again, I'd love for Spotlights to come back monthly with a rotating team every issue. Give Roberts, Barber, Furman, Roche- whomever else a chance to play in Ruckley's new sandbox.
