International distribution...

[TomWaltz]

International TMNT comic book fans and comic book retailers, get ready for a mean, green invasion!

No specifics now, but keep an eye on IDWpublishing.com (the main site and the forums) for some great news from IDW and uber-editor Bobby Curnow soon.

:tsmile:

[CyberCubed]

That's awesome. Nice to see the guys overseas able to pick up this series.

[Roseangelo]

Awesome! Now what about digital? :)

[marcelangelo]

hey hey!-.....I love to hear that this may be handeled finally,)...my comic book dealer here in berlin still has many a tmnt book in my ordered and invoiced items box but I noticed that some of the ordered kevin eastman variants got rejected and needed to be ordered all over again...so I am happy to speculate that a deal has come through;)...I think the future for our enjoyment of idw ghostbusters must have been greenlit, too, right?I saw they now offer more of the later issues in their catalogue..

[Redrumh2o]

I assume that international editions will have slightly different covers which I will have to buy :tconfuse:

[Chris]

Redrumh2o - unless IDW have something special planned to celebrate getting the international rights, there shouldn't be any extra covers as we just get the US direct market cover(s).

This is great news! Any idea when it'll start? I've checked IDW's boards but couldn't find a date. I picked up #1+2 in Florida last month so I've been waiting for the first story arc to finish so I could import #3-5 (plus Raph and Mike micros) as I couldn't justify the international postage for single issues.

Hopefully we'll get the series in January (or sooner!) as I imagine they want to have the series on the shelves before Infestation 2 hits.

[Redrumh2o]

I'm going to need international issues 1-4!!

Any news about release in Greece? Tom, do you know which Greek shops will sell them?

[Redrumh2o]

Are there any sites where we can order the global editions from the US??...or should I just wait for them to show up on eBay. Id like to be able to get them all in 1 shot. :tgrin:

[Oculus Orbus]

I spoke to my LCS here in Brighton UK and they said that they should be receiving everything (including the Ultimate Collection book) later this month. I couldn't really afford to import every issue monthly, so this made me a very happy guy. Don't really dig that frame on the covers, but at this point I just wanna read the comics!

I forgot which one said, Tom or Bobby, but you can actually ask your LCS to order them for you.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

According to IDW today is supposed to release the comics in more countries. Do we have any more news about that? Should they be avaliable in comics shops of my country from today?

They should be, but you should check with your shop to make sure that they actually ordered them. If you can, I'd recommend starting up a pull list with a shop.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

ok! I will go tomorow to my local shops and ask them if they have them! if i dont find them i will tell you. But it will be realy nice if you search and confirm if they have released in Greece too from today.

Well, sometimes you gotta do your own leg work and figure out things for yourself. International distribution did start this week, but I can't guarantee anything about Greece specifically.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

ok i will tell you tomorow then! i will ask all of my local comic shops! :lol::lol:

but it is 100% sure that they will ever come to Greece ? even later?

[Luzmagica]

I cant find the new TMNT comic at usual online store...
Any news about TMNT for Spain?

I found only some previews non available... Page 2 : microseries Donatello 3, TMNT Ongoing 7...

[Oculus Orbus]

Ok, so the international editions were supposed to be out today (one day later for the holidays), but my LCS here in Brighton UK still hasn't got it, and as far as they know, the books haven't even shipped yet. They received everything else from IDW, as usual, but none of the TMNT (ongoing, micros or ultimate collection).

Two months ago I found issues 1 (3rd printing) and 3 in a comic shop in London, wich apparently they were importing. Issue 2 was sold out at the moment, so they couldn't import that one. I read those, skipping issue 2, and I've been going through all the spoilers you guys are throwing on the forums. I'm ruining myself the whole thing, I know, but I just can't help it.

What a pain.

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

I have very bad news. I just came back from some comic shops...:(:(
Not only they dont have them but also they didnt have any information about TMNT IDW comics . They didnt know anything. What going on? Why ?

[Roseangelo]

At this point your questions are probably better asked over at the IDW forums.

[Coola Yagami]

I hope you guys ship them to Mexico. I don't live there anymore, but it's nice to know that had I stayed there, I wouldn't have been missin out on the new comics.

[Metropoliskid41]

Got my shop to order all of the Global Editions here in the US so I can have all of those covers!

[discordiatookie]

Can't wait for these to ship! I've only got the first issue and really couldn't afford to get these shipped from overseas for a tenner or so a pop. My LCS was trying his 'grey area' contact to get them, but to no avail so far. I guess the main reason I dropped off this boards is that the comic section is my favourite in these forums and I couldn't reply to half of the threads, so I just... disapeared. But now i'm back! :D

The Global Conquest editions have been delayed until Jan. 18...I posted more info. on my site (http://www.tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/blog/2012/01/breaking-news-multiple-tmnt-comics-delays-and-delivery-issues/).

[discordiatookie]

Well, these are out now. Got me an email last week from my LCS saying that they were ready, issues 1-5 so picked em up. No sign of any of the micro series ones, but yep, digging these muchly!

[Oculus Orbus]

Great to know, I'll be picking them up next monday. I hope it doesn't take long until we get the micro series.

[Mayhem]

Still debating whether to get these or not... technically they are another variant but as I have the regular comics already... hmmm...

[Oculus Orbus]

Just got them. Glad to know that the ugly green frame on the cover is only on the first five issues. Also, the Raphael micro came out too.
