As for now, no.

[Dawnatello Turtle Chick]

I've been looking for Tales of TMNT (Mirage publishing) issues #21 (A Bull Wrinkle in Time 2006), #32 (The Eye of Aga-Moo-Tou, 2007) & #58 (All Tomorrow's Yesterdays, 2009) for several months online and have had no luck.... Are these just very hard issues to find? I tried to post on the Buy/Sell section but it won't let me yet...

So I just wanted to know (for now...) if these are just really rare issues or am I not good at searching, lol!

If you hadn't figured it out, I'm a HUUUUUGE COWboys of Moo Mesa fan!!!

#32 - pretty much, but the other two you can easily get from Graham Crackers Comics

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!! Awesome! Now I will only have to look for 1 of the 3 issues!

Has anyone spotted the new animated adventures comics anywhere besides comic shops? Like, Barnes and Nobles or TRU? I ask because there are no comic shops close to me..

While not entirely on Topic.... What is "TRU".... I gather it's a store, but I'm not familiar with it. Google yielded a myriad of unhelpful results...

Don't sweat it, I didn't know much of the forum slang when I first joined either! To help you, here's a guide of sorts of the slang we dromers use pretty frequently.

OT: This means the original TMNT cartoon, and stands for "old toon" or "original toon".

IMO: Stands for "In my opinion".

TRU: Well, you know what this means. It is a wonderful place where many TMNT toys are sold.

That's all I can think of for now...hope it helps!

[Heather Breckel]

I haven't spotted any IDW titles at TRU yet. I hope it changes since we have TMNT, MLP, Transformers, and GI Joe.

Thank you! I'm familiar with the IMO, but I would have been lost again on OT! I've been on different forums in the past... but each new type brings new abbreviations... I love Toys R Us! Our nearest one is almost as far away as our nearest comic shop. But everytime we visit my in-laws we stop!!!

Hi everyone... I'm the new guy...

I've recently got back into TMNT after a dull 25 years or so and have been chasing up the gorgeous hardbacked Ultimate books. However, I've heard talk of pages in volume four (possibly volume 3 as well) not having the tones that Eastman and Laird usually add.

I was wondering what the reason might be behind the decision, if it was some mistake and/or if subsequent books might have tones back in (if they were ever there in the first place...)

I have to say, having struggled with the look initially, I've fallen in love with the look that tones bring... but is my current 'best shot' at good quality black and white versions of vol 3 and 4 still the hardbacks ?

Massive thanks for any info anyone can give me - and sorry if this is a common question...

[Mayhem]

According to Bobby, iirc, it was what was delivered to IDW from Mirage in regards to the masters for the issues. For some reason, three of the issues are missing the tones. Unless they are manually updated, or somehow proper versions are found, I doubt they will be any corrections.

[Amiko]

Ahhhh! Thanks for that. Looks like there's no error, as such then... I didn't want to end up buying an early edition of something and end up regretting it in the long run. It's a shame but those books are still absolutely amazing...

[Shogun26]

Do the IDW issues indicate on the front cover if it's an A or B cover? Just want to make sure I know what to look for. Also are their any issues with more than 2 covers?

[Mayhem]

Yes, and yes. Each issue will show (most) of the covers available on the inside cover for that issue, generally they don't have a few of the exclusives or limiteds (mostly from Jetpack).

A good way to check what covers ARE available would be somewhere like TMNT Blog or Ninja Pizza. Example for the upcoming #25 - http://www.tmnt-ninjaturtles.com/blo...5/tmnt-25-idw/

thank you so much.

I haven't jumped into the new Eastman IDW comic series at all yet, but am intrigued. I have issues 7-11, 13, 15, 20 & 21 (Hastings was having a sale and I took one of everything they had- hence the gaps). My question is: should I wait until I can get issue #1 and then read through and fill in as I get closer or (without storyline spoilage) could I get away with starting with issues 7-11 and fill in as I can and just jump back and forth (not my first choice, but I'm chomping at the bit on these). I just want to get the full effect the artists/authors have in mind, but have impatience issues, lol.

Issues 1-5 are pretty important to the entire setup. At this point it's probably cheaper to just get the TPBs.
