We continue the post-end of the Hasbro universe IDW Publishing comics world, with the newest batch of solicitations for the books to be released in December 2018 - and there is still some new Transformers-related material, if not new comics themselves, in the form of a new chronology/history of the currently ending stories from Chris McFeely and various artists, plus the Go-Bots book by Tom Scioli, the Star Trek crossover mini-series, and another kid-friendly tie-in to the Transformers Bumblebee Movie due out in the same month (and related to the original Graphic Novel already out now). Check it all out below!

Transformers: Historia
Chris McFeely (w) • Various (a) • Sara Pitre-Durocher (c)

Thirteen years and hundreds of issues later, that universe has come to a close. Join Transformers historian Chris McFeely on a guide distilling the past 13 years of publishing history and remember the masterful storytelling of the first IDW Transformers run.
