Jeez. I liked the story and all, but these releases, all in rapid succession, all containing just a liiiiiiiittle bit more than the last release, really milked the hell out of things. I kinda like that Dark Horse cut IDW off at the pass and just released an edition with EVERY TMNT/Usagi crossover in it.

Otherwise, we probably could've looked forward to IDW putting out the Super Special Edition, featuring Namazu, Turtle Soup, The Treaty, and the Crossing, followed a month later by the Super Duper Special Edition, featuring Namazu, Turtle Soup, The Treaty, The Crossing and Shades of Green Part 1, followed two months later by the Hyper Super Duper Special Edition, featuring...

You can see where I'm going with this.
Oof. Agreed. I've already triple-dipped on this. Held out for the first hardcover but then found David Petersen's variant of the floppy... then I couldn't resist getting Stan's special cover (with sketch and bookplate!) of the "Special" edition that just came out. Now this news drops right after that. I already own all the shorts in their original publications.... what am I doing!?
