I uploaded the TMNT comics app on my iPad (via iTunes) on Monday but I am not able to find IDW's TMNT issues.
I don't have access to the Comics Store (it keeps saying that the site is "temporarily unavailable" since yesterday).

The only issues I can "buy" (because none are free, contrarily from what I read on iTunes saying that 3 issues were free) are:
- TMNT classics vol 1 and 2
- IDW's issue 13 (Karai on cover)
- IDW's microseries April O'neil and Fugatoid

That's all.

I have used the search bar to find out if there were more issues on the app but nada. I'm so disappointed and frustrated.
I don't live in the USA so I cannot buy the paper comics. Digital is my only way to satisfy my need for IDW TMTN action. I really want to read this new series that came out since last year because of the previews I've seen, and the positive reviews and feedbacks I've heard.

Can anyone help out a brother in need?
I've sent an email to IDW requesting for explanations and solutions ASAP.
:tcry:

I didn't realize that there was a TMNT app. I'm downloading it now.

The digital comics that I have purchased were on the IDW app, or you could also find them in the ComiXology app.

Edit:

Okay I downloaded the TMNT App. From what you describe, those comics that you can view are in the "New and Noteworthy section"

Try selceting the "Series" button on the bottom bar (it has a turtle head with it), then "All Series" at the top bar. You should get a list of:
- Infestiation
- TMNT IDW series
- Colour Classics
- Turtle Adventures
- Archie
- Micro Series
- Animated 2003
- Classic Black and White
- Colour Classic Trades

I also see the free comics. Select Bottom Bar "Featured", to bar "Free" they free bees should be:
Infestation 2 #1
TMNT IDW #1
Micro Series #3

Working fine for me as well

Try to reset your ipad and try again. Maybe signing in and out of your comixology account if a good reset of the ipad doesn't work

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback. :)
I got an email response from IDW. They say that I'm living in a region where their digital license with Viacom/Nickelodeon doesn't reach. I currently live in West Africa so no luck for me...
They also said that I was even lucky to purchase those issues I quoted in the OP because they somehow failed to "block them" from the zones that aren't covered by their digital license.

Oh well... Guess I have to wait till October when I go back to France (glad to know they are one of the 20-ish countries that has full digital access).

I love the TMNT Ipad app! It's the only way I can get the comics. They used to release the Archie comics in Belgium back in the 90's but I can't find the IDW releases anywhere! So long live the app! :thumbsup:

There are....other ways....to get comics on your iPad. For this you can use an app called "Comic Zeal" and allows people to read any .cbr or .cbz files you might have.
