The company behind the latest installment of Transfoirmers comics, IDW Publishing continues it's steady rise up the comics sales charts, claiming the 4th spot in the competitive Comic Market.

From icv2.com:
Powered by its Whedon (Angel, Spike), Transformers, Dr. Who, Star Trek, and other licensed titles (see “Top 300 Comics—August 2008”), IDW hit the #4 market share rank in comic stores in August, a new high for the company. IDW topped Image, which has generally held the #4 slot. Marvel, DC, and Dark Horse held their customary top three slots.

While one month does not a trend make, IDW has been steadily expanding both its roster of licenses and its in-house titles. At the very least, IDW appears to be ready to compete for a higher rank on an ongoing basis.

Good news for both IDW Publishing an the Transformers Fandom in general.

not surprised really. IDW put alot of effort into their books and ive never seen a company thats so open to fans, be they critics or not, since marvel of the 60s .

i think that level of interaction gives them an insight alot of companys neglect. not to mention gives them access to new talent. a good few lads at their boards are working for the company now
