IDW vs the Novels and the Covenant of Primus

Hey everybody it’s been a while that I haven’t posted anything on this board. Anyhow, what do you guys prefer, the IDW comic run or the Covenant of Primus with Novels (Exodus, Retribution, Exiles)? What do you recommend, should I buy and read the IDW comics (MTMTE, RID, Lost Light, Optimus Prime and the 1st ongoing series) or the Novels with Covenant of Primus?

The IDW series are pretty good. MTMTE (which follows into the Lost Light) is very very good. Optimus Prime (the series) is also great, and so is the recent series called Till All are One.

Re: IDW vs the Novels and the Covenant of Primus

They're really two different animals. IDW is more "G1-ish" while the books are from the Aligned continuity. Each have their merits and drawbacks, but I couldn't definitively say that one is clearly superior to the other.
From a financial standpoint, it would probably be cheaper to get the Covenant and all three novels than it would be to get all the trades and up coming issues of the various comic series.

Both are great but I'd recommend IDW (especially MTMTE and Lost Light) over any other currently available piece of TF media.
