BotCon comic preview! [April Fool's, it's good!]

No, they're full-blown comic books. I personally found the Universe storyline to be pretty entertaining but last year's Botcon comic was pretty bland.

If you want to read the stuff from before FP got the club license, it's archived on the official BotCon site --

Timelines #1 is maybe worth a skim if you're a big Beast Wars fan, and Cybertron: Balancing Act (which IDW collected last year) is unmitigated arse IMO.

Thanks for the link. Not so much a Beast Wars fan (show was nice, though), but I see they have the Wreckers comics, and I've wondered about those.

I love this site; instant answers to any question I have.

Edit: Aaargh, I just realized the Wreckers are the Beast Wars one. Oh well, I'll read them anyway.

I thought Descent into Evil was the first Timelines comic.

V2 #1, owing to the branched FP release scheme. It's the first direct market issue. Descent is V1 #1 and essentially a piece of officialised fanfic stuffed into a convention programme...

Full club/con comic pages are in the works, but I won't pretend they're exactly a priority.
