10 Franchises Kept Alive By Comic Books

2. Transformers

Buffy the Vampire Slayer Comic
Paramount

Except for the upcoming Bumblebee movie, the Transformers on-screen appearances are somewhat lacking, but fortunately we have a vast array of comics to keep the franchise alive and kicking.

The books range from the original Cybertronian War, to the characters' time on Earth to the rebuilding of their home planet. Like most of the series on this list, Transformers has a number of spin-off books, including a superb Drift solo title and the seemingly required IDW crossover, this time featuring the G.I Joes, usually with the two facing off against each other.

Whichever part of the time line you end up reading you can guarantee it going to be a great read, with all the books featuring some fantastic artwork and wonderful storyline also.
