TMNT Adventures Collections - Question

[liugeaux]

I picked up the first IDW trade of the old Archie Series and noticed that it started at issue #1, and did not include the three issue mini series before it. I know that the miniseries was collected a few years back during the 25th anniversary celebration, but I recall reading somewhere that IDW was reprinting that trade. The reason I bring it up is because the Archie reprint is smaller than the current IDW trades and I imagine that if IDW reprinted it, they would make it the size of all their other books. I know its anal, but properly sized trades look great on a shelf or in this case my mantle.

Did IDW reprint this?

IDW reprinted is as a "100-Page Spectacular" a few months ago. It's not a TPB, though. Just a really thick comic book.

Is that what this is:

[Roseangelo]

Yup, that's it.

Is this the same book?

Same artwork, but it lacks the "100 page spectacular" text and it shows the 25th anniversary logo.

Yup. That one is Archie's version.
