speaking of the training manuals...
I just got this weird misprint of 'Rafael' off ebay where around half the pages are fused in the upper right corner, and the whole printer setting is a bit askew... Before I ask for my money back or take some scissors to the corner, does anyone know if this is worth anything extra for the printing error, or does that only apply to things like cover errors and the like? |

What's up dudes? Recently got back into comics in general and now I officially want to get caught up on TMNT.
I'm ashamed to say that I never really had the time, money or patience to officially check out TMNT comics. I read a bunch as a kid and such, but I can't remember which ones so I figured why not start over. I've looked into the current IDW ones, and they look great of course. I'm just not sure exactly where to start! So, what is your recommendation for starting both a current running series AND starting to ease my way into the oldest series? I actually want to read everything eventually from Eastman and Laird, to Archie, everything. Thanks bros! |

For Mirage I would recommend: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Ultimate B&W Collection And for IDW: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The IDW Collection They also have a Archie one but it seems to skip a few issues: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures

Great, thanks! I tend to get confused very easily when it comes to comics and I’m sort of a completionist so if I get everything in one fell swoop, it would be amazing. I got super frustrated just trying to collect TMNT on DVD so I’m trying to avoid that here.
Is the Usagi Yojimbo stuff worth checking out, and does he crossover with TMNT more than a few times? |

It was the first time he'd crossed over with the IDW versions, but his previous meetings were sub-referenced (as it was still the same Usagi). There are some one-off short stories, and a three parter story from the Mirage publishing era (the only time Usagi was regularly printed in colour). Outside of that anyhow, it's well worth reading Usagi, something has kept me hooked for over 20 years heh...

Long time no post! *looks for last post*...Really, really long time no post. Sheesh. I've continued to lurk off and on for a long while now, but haven't really had much to post about for a long time, but hopefully that'll change soon enough.
At any rate, I did have a quick question and this seemed like the best place to ask it. I've slowly started to pick up more of the comics again, and finally ordered the fifth volume in the hardcover 'Ultimate Edition' series, which completes my collection of that particular line, readying me to start picking up the paperback 'Classics' releases for other Mirage tales! ...Or so I thought, until I randomly found Volume 6 on Amazon as well. Looking at the top review here, it looks like this volume is a collection of various short stories that were put out by Mirage over the years. From what I understood, that was some of what the paperback 'Classics' line of releases were collecting (as well as other Mirage issues not drawn by Eastman and Laird). So my question(s) is/are thus - are there any short stories that have only been re-released in this hardcover collection, as in they aren't in the paperback Classics line? And if so, are there any of the paperback Classics line that I would no longer need to pick up due to purchasing this hardcover instead? Basically I'm trying to be as thrifty as possible and not double-purchase any content if it can be avoided. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Aww man, why do the volumes have missing stories? This feels like the DVDs all over again.

What do you mean? The only missing Vol. 1 stories are Rich Veitch's 4 issues which IDW is not legally allowed to print without his permission or paying him royalties. They didn't skip them purposely.

How do I make sure the binding isn’t going to be an issue with the IDW collected edition for the “new” comic? I’ve read some reviews and am wondering if they fixed it with another printing or something.

I think it has had multiple printings. Instocktrades.com has a return/exchange policy if the product is damaged. I think you just have to email within 48 hours. Handle the book with care and you should be fine. Also, YouTube has videos on how to ‘break in’ new books. I read the same reviews back when I was looking to get this and had similar concerns. But I haven’t had any problems with my copy. It’s great.

Sorry, I’m just newer to collecting these and for some reason it’s really confusing me. Just want to do the most research before I buy something.

I think you get IDW TMNT Ultimate Collection 1-5 and IDW TMNT Classics TPB 1-7 you will have all of Mirage Volume One. Minus the Veitch issues Cubed mentioned.

Thank you. I’m really terribly sorry at my ignorance of understanding. Is there a definite breakdown somewhere of what issues I need to buy to get the most complete collection of issues? Tried searching this site and elsewhere and I guess I’m not finding exactly what I need. Seems there’s too many reprints and editions and nothing seems absolutely definitive. I’d like just like “this book contains issues 1–x of the original Mirage” the rest are collected in these, then “this book contains the Tales of TMNT, Archie, IDW, etc.”

Thanks on the Archie and IDW. I guess Mirage is the most confusing to me for some reason.

Took your advice and watched a few YouTube videos. It cleared up some stuff for me, but I got confused when issues were included in both the Mirage Ultimate Collections and the TPB of the TMNT adventures??
I dunno, since I'm more of a visual person I'm going to have to make my own custom chart or something because it shouldn't be this confusing for me. |
