The book is selling great though. Other than MLP, Turtles is IDW's best selling book (I guess there's X-Files, too. But that's on #2). You have to keep in mind that this isn't DC and Marvel... I mean, Turtles is far ahead of GI Joe, Transformers, Ghostbusters and plenty of IDW's tentpole titles.

Also, even though it went down in rank, did you notice that the Micro series jumped in sales?

Not until you said so. I expected low sales from what we have seen before with Old Hob and Alopex since they are IDW original and noreaders would not be aware of them. Bebop and Rocksteady will be interesting to see the numbers of.

As for the Eastman sketch, I did not know more than a few would spend that lind of money in order to get the cover. I thought with the jump on point presented a slightly higher average would form not few hunderd of 17,000 readers buying up extra copies. Story quality has been something for both sides of fandom to appreciate so that should strengthen numbers in time.

Its usually hard to attract new readers who aren't already huge TMNT fans in some way. Most of those 16,000 a month sales come from already established TMNT fans from the 80's and 90's.

Also some people just check out the comic for a few issues and then drop it for whatever reason. That's just the way the comic industry works.

*MrTMNT2012* · 08-19-2013, 03:36 AM

So do we have the numbers for Issue #24? Hoping the series reaches 40,000 by the end of this saga!

Literally 6 posts before yours.

*MrTMNT2012* · 08-19-2013, 05:18 AM

Thanks.

I only check the first and last pages so that's how I missed it...

*CyberCubed* · 08-24-2013, 08:30 PM

Also keep in mind these sales don't count digital sales or international sales, if we include those, the numbers are much higher. Or the trade paperback sales, some people don't buy the single issues and just wait for the trades.

Bobby said they already have planned out to IDW TMNT #50, so I'm sure sales will be steady to there at least.

The real milestone is if the series hits the big 100th issue....but that won't be for many years from now if it happens.

August numbers are in:

117. TMNT #25 - 17,833 copies
173. Villain micro: Karai - 10,343 copies
174. New Animated Adventures - 10,304 copies

*CyberCubed* · 09-09-2013, 08:51 PM

The Nick comic is selling pretty well for what it is. Hopefully more kids who watch the cartoon get into it overtime.

It would help if IDW sold the Nick comic to stores where kids generally browse like Toys R Us and so forth. I remember seeing a lot of kids DC and Marvel comics at Toys R Us.

Would also help if they got through the distribution rights and actually sold it in the UK!

*ToTheNines* · 10-10-2013, 07:10 AM

September numbers:

179. TMNT #26 - 17,321 copies
235. TMNT Micro series: Hun - 9,977 copies
251. TMNT NAA #3 - 8,744 copies

Ignore the severe drop in rankings, DC went apesh*t with their villains month so each of their titles had up to 4 releases last month, plus 2D and 3D covers that got counted separately in sales.

So we're pretty stable. Still one of IDW's top books, behind My Little Pony, as well as Powerpuff Girls strong start (did anyone read that? I'm thinking about picking it up).

New Animated Adventures took a bit of a drop, so I'm slightly worried about that book. I expect the Micro to jump in sales with B&R coming up, as well as Shredder.

My Little Pony's primary audience is actually 30+ year old adult men, instead of 8 year old girls like it should be.

You can bet most of the people buying that comic are adult men rather than little girls. One of lifes great mysteries.

I buy MLP for my 7-year old daughter. We read it at bedtime and she loves it. I know of 2 other friends that do the same. Not all of us are weirdos.

*DrSpengler* · 10-10-2013, 12:15 PM

I buy IDW's My Little Pony and I regret nothing.

This I dont

then again all this proves is that fact that a may be in fact a bigot on this matter

*Andrew NDB* · 10-10-2013, 12:44 PM

I feel like the Bronies and all of that are somewhat similar to Jack Black fans. Where Jack Black is all about empty-headed facial expressions, mannerisms, and "look at how insanely clever I am at behaving stupidly!" so his fans, themselves, feel clever and "in on the joke," with My Little Pony it's pretty inherently feminine and insular to very young girls so I guess the draw to its 30 year old male fans is something like, "Look at me, look at me, I'm sitting here totally comfortable being a 30 year old man watching a show for 5 year old girls... bet you don't know what to think of me now, dontcha? Dontcha?"

But to the rest of us, the sound minded people... like with Jack Black, we get the joke just fine. In fact, we've always gotten it. We just don't find it funny at all.
