TMNT Tales Trades

Vegeta · 08-13-2017, 04:15 PM

Did IDW D/C these? I took a few year break from collecting the idw books and I see its still not even close to nearing the end but adventures is getting up there. Thanks for the help.

There hasn't been any new ones since March 2016, not really sure why and there's no point in asking Bobby since it's not his department. My guess is that had to prioritise certain series to print and since by that point Adventures was like five or six trades away from completion while Tales was nine and needed new coloring with much higher quality paper, they just went with the cheaper option. Maybe they'll finish up Adventures and continue Tales then?

Tales Vol. 9 has a placeholder date right now through Diamond of 12/31/2019. So not officially cancelled, but not super likely.

Yeowch. That's a terrible placeholder date.

I wish we had someone we could ask who actually works in that department...

Two years, four months, two weeks and three days from now... That's pretty bad.

Only thing worse is if they stop these all together and those of us who have been collecting them get stuck with an incomplete collection. WTF

*neatoman* · 08-14-2017, 12:06 PM

Hopefully that preliminary date is nothing but an arbitrary number chosen for the large window of opportunity and the actual release date is much closer to the present.

If my guess is that it's been held back because it'd be cheaper to print the rest of Archie first is correct, then let's hope they'll hurry up with announcing the last two volumes of that so we get back on track with Tales.

I would be ok if they choose to carry on without colour. It was originally in Black and White.

Sure? It's just going to look rather weird to continue it uncolored. They could in theory republish the 80's era Tales and Volume 2 as Ultimate Collection 7-9, but then you'd get more of the material they've already printed.

*CyberCubed* · 08-17-2017, 04:39 PM

IDW said the reason they color them in the first place is because of sales. Your average casual fan isn't going to pick up a black and white comic.

Diorm · 08-17-2017, 06:27 PM

Well people who are used to manga can buy black and white comics.

*Sabacooza* · 08-24-2017, 09:14 PM

Kind of lame to start doing collected books and then never finish. Who wants to collect only half of a collection?

*Powder* · 08-24-2017, 09:30 PM

That's why I never bought into these. Knew it'd be cut short. Not exactly happy to be right, but yeah...

*neatoman* · 08-25-2017, 03:35 AM

John Pannozzi · 08-26-2017, 12:59 PM

Well, what do you know, we're getting a Tales omnibus.

Hopefully they're just taking a break from new Tales trades then. Maybe after they finish collecting the Archie run they'll start up Tales again.

That's what I think will happen. It's about resources.

*THGhost* · 09-30-2017, 11:53 AM

Been meaning to start this series for a while. Not sure if I should pull the trigger just yet until I know for sure that it's coming back. Unless any of you guys reckon I should just go for it?

*Chris* · 09-30-2017, 03:42 PM

I'd say if you've enjoyed the other Mirage reprints then go for it!
