I don't know if all treasury editions are like this but this issue's size is cumbersome, and bulky. I haven't made it home yet, but I'm pretty sure it can't be comfortably stored with any other TMNT books. Its really odd.

**Edit** Woohoo, I finally made it to 100 posts!

Yah, treasury editions are always huge. I have a couple of the old Conan ones and they are pretty much the same size. I like the size as for a couple of issues but can you imagine owning an entire run of comics like this lol

Also, I don't know about you guys but I was actually really bummed I didn't get to read the actual finished comic in this format... Kind of a bummer imo

Me too! After all, this is NOT a Treasury edition of #50... this is a treasury edition of Eastman's layouts for #50. That's a totally different thing, no one warned us!

Does anyone have any pictures of what this thing actually looks like? Or is there any preview online?

*Redrumh2o* · 04-21-2013, 08:43 PM

Can someone measure the book for me?

FYI...jetpack has an exclusive one that is blank on the back....now that would be one large blank commission possibility!! I assume CGC would charge more $ for the size?

Didn't realize that its just Kevin's layouts/pages were the intended content only in this? I swear to god the solicitation was the actual issue and the layouts and the original guest pin ups. The darn thing in Previews back then says 70+ pages. So why was it half arsed from the original books 40 pages? Or does all that early story summary/plots make up for this in content? Can anyone verify the page count? I have a feeling I may have answered my own question.

I went back to the February solicits thread and found a post that included the solicit from Rich's site: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...8&postcount=14

If you read carefully it only says "reprinting the original layouts," nothing about the actual comic. Yeah, I would have liked to see the finished pages as well, but this still is a really nice book, and gives us so much NEW (old) stuff to look at.

It is 72 pages. LOTS of notes, some pin-ups, even an old scanned pic of PL & KE. An impressive collection of behind-the-scenes material.

It sounds like all of the blank (large blank back) Jetpack variants were damaged on the spine and smudged on the blank back.....would have made for some awesome LARGE sketches.....wuh wuh

This sounds pretty cool, but I too thought it would be an oversized reprint of the issue with bonus stuff, not 100% "behind the scenes" material.

Might try to pick it up since I'm always interested in the creative process of Eastman's comics.

*Roseangelo* · 04-24-2013, 06:14 PM

I honestly can't believe people are complaining about being given 100% new content.

*Powder* · 04-24-2013, 06:49 PM

Yeah that's pretty mind boggling for me too.

I don't think people are complaining at the existence of new content, at least I'm not, it just was a bit of shock and disappointment that when I picked it up I wasn't able to actually read the issue in this format.

But the issue is in Ultimate Collection Vol. 4. How is the format any different? The type of book this is, it couldn't handle the page count that would be required to also fit the finished book.

*Cipher* · 04-24-2013, 10:14 PM

Got this in the mail today. Pretty pleased. Definitely for hardcore fans only, but it's really cool to get to see this material.

And maybe I'm more at liberty to say this because I have both the original issue and (arriving tomorrow) Ultimate Collection Vol. 4, but it doesn't feel wanting for the finished pages at all.

DK2 · 05-11-2013, 08:53 PM

Got this at a local store during free comic day. Since they offered a 25% off during that day I thought why not? Some moments its a little hard to read Kevin's writings of plans. Was surprised he stated that in the early pages of issue #50 layouts it sounded like Jim was suppose to draw that issue too. Maybe Kevin and Peter decided that they would draw #50 as well late in the process of development? I'm not complaining now. Its neat to see.

I'm never surprised when turtles fans complain. fickle bunch.

ToxicRevolution · 05-12-2013, 10:15 AM

I picked this up on the day it came out. I honestly didn't even know about it, I just happened to go into the comic shop that day. For only $10, it's a great book. Very cool to see all the concepts and production.

Jay $tarkiller · 05-12-2013, 02:07 PM

Since all you guys praise this book, I'll give it a shot. Just ordered it

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 05-13-2013, 01:27 AM

Can you show off a few pages?
