IDW's relaunch of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been a hit with fans and critics alike. Now, collect the series in all-new oversized hardcovers that present the stories in recommended reading order. Collects the first 12 issues of the new ongoing series, plus the Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Splinter Micro-Series one-shots spliced in-between.

Pretty cool. I hope it also includes the shorts from Hero Comics 2012 and the 30th Anniversary Special, and possibly the TMNT Infestation issues.

So they're already re-releasing the trades in better collections? I'm not double dipping but cool for new readers.

*Redrumh2o* · 04-19-2014, 10:31 AM

Take my $$!!!!

Tazi · 04-19-2014, 01:23 PM

Wow, that's actually the same price as if you buy the first 3 TPB, but hardcover which is definitely better.

Wait, so it even has 5 of the hero micros?

Due to digital TMNT comics being region locked to my country, I think this hardcover stuff will be the best option to collect at least the first arcs of IDW legally.

Wow, that's awesome. Really cool that they're apparently putting the Micros in between the issues, in proper reading order.

*DrSpengler* · 04-19-2014, 04:01 PM

Nice. I might pick it up down the line even though I have the individual issues.

Abnormal Freak · 04-23-2014, 02:38 AM

It's about friggidy-damn time. I stopped collecting the issues and trades a while back hoping for big collections at a good price.

Interweaving the micro issues is a good idea. I haven't been following the comic for over a year so it'll be nice to have those issues thrown in at the right spot.

Technogeek29 · 04-23-2014, 03:07 AM

A good gift to my Little bro. I currently have the issues with me out of state. He'll love to have his own copy of them. And their in order so even better.

Ditto.

FYI, the only collected edition I have of the IDW series is the hardcover collecting the first four issues and Eastman's layouts to them (which I will be keeping).

Abnormal Freak · 04-23-2014, 03:26 PM

Yeah, that's a good collection that I'll definitely keep. I've already invested in seven of the 4-issue trades, though, so I may not buy the first two HC collections unless I really feel like upgrading and having everything consolidated. Which...honestly, I probably will.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 04-24-2014, 02:06 PM

i stopped collecting the the issues and just went for the trades cause i couldn't find the issues anywhere, but the trades i could easily find

Raphtastic · 04-24-2014, 03:06 PM

I'm all for this. I haven't caught up on earlier IDW yet because I spent so much of my entertainment budget on Volume 4 and 5 of the Ultimate collection in the last year or so, so this is coming out at the perfect time!

This sucks...

Tazi · 04-13-2015, 09:36 AM

This book already has like a year (or even years?) of delay, since it was first listed on Amazon...

Bobby Curnow · 04-13-2015, 09:37 AM

It will be out within 4 weeks time, it was approved to print a few weeks back.

Awesome news!

Joey Kamikaze · 04-13-2015, 06:25 PM

Cool.

...so how many years do we have to wait for volume two?

Awesome. Thanks Bobby! It is great to have such direct feedback on these forums. This will be my first reading experience with the IDW series. I am excited!

~~AquaParade~~ · 04-14-2015, 07:48 PM

Yeah, I'm pretty sure this hardcover isn't related to Bobby's department(could be wrong), so it's pretty cool of him to come chime in on all things IDW TMNT. Helps maintain the vibe of the good old Mirage days.
