TMNT Cine-Manga

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I have a very odd book in my possession - a TMNT graphic novel. It Graphic Novelisizes two episodes - Things Change and The Unconvincing Turtle Titan. It was made by the company TOKYOPOP and is part of their "Cine-Manga" line.

There's an ad on the last page for the second installment.

Here's the weird part: I went to the TOKYOPOP website, and they have no records of either of these books. But it does show up at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Tokyopop_publications#Cine-Manga, which I guess is no big surprise.

So, I guess my question is: do any of you guys have this book? It was published in 2004. And, if you do have it, do you know if its counterpart was ever published?

Sorry for the #$%*py quality.

These books aren't rare, to my knowledge, as I've passed them by many times in comic shops. Based on what I've read from others, three issues were published (although most people have only seen the first two issues). Alternate covers may exist on the first volume.

Here are some old threads on the topic:

Yeah, not rare or hard to find at all. You can buy this on Amazon from a third party seller for a penny and shipping will cost you $3.99. So for four bucks it can be yours.

awesome, might just go for it.

the rest of them (books in the series) don't seem to be available any more

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Does anyone know what episodes were in the other two?

[TheCanadiandrome]

does anyone have the other two? and perhaps more caps of the first?
