Are there any collections for the Nick animated comic yet? I haven't been buying any of the Nick cartoon comics because I wanted to wait for the trades.

Are they making trades of that series?

Indeed they are. The first one comes out in January.

Where is Burnow Island, geographically?

Do we know who is doing the variant covers for Utrom Empire or what they will look like yet?

I'm trying to make sure I have read every issue if Vol 1. I only had a few old issues that I've had for a million years, so I naturally started purchasing IDW's Ultimate Collections and I currently own the first 4. I was gonna purchase the Classics Volumes they made as well, but my lcs only had one for me to look at and I just kept holding out. Now I am reading people say that Classics Vol 1 does not contain the issues that it is advertised to contain. If they changed it due to new licensing issues (and they may have) then why not update the descriptions?

I was gonna buy the digital TPBs because that description still says it contains 13, 16 and 18 and I would trust the app more assuming it is updated more than the seller on Amazon.

Can anyone attest to these claims and verify them? I really wanna finish these up soon. It is getting to be a real pain in the a**.

I couldn't quite follow you completely there, but I think the top of this page will help you get your questions figured out:

So far the only Volume 1 issues not collected by IDW are:

- The 4 Rick Veitch issues (Sky Highway)

- Issue #41 "Turtle Dreams"

- Soul's Winter trilogy (although Bobby confirmed this is being collected later this year)

For some reason issue #18 is also only collected in the Eastman 25th anniversary collection, but not in the regular classics. Don't know what the deal with that is.

So, I should purchase the Classics in order to fill the gaps that exist in the Ultimates and I can trust that they contain what they say they contain? Not sure what Amazon reviewers were talking about then.

Super stoked to read Soul's Winter.

The Amazon info is sometimes wrong or outdated. But regardless, if you buy all 5 Ultimate Collects and all 7 Classic collections, you'll have all the Volume 1 issues except the few I mentioned above.

Also get the Tales of the TMNT collections. They collected the first 7 issues of the original Tales run and are now up to the second run from 2004. Most of Tales is quite important to Volume 1 as characters like The Rat King, Leatherhead and others make their debut there.

I still forget about Tales sometimes. Until the past year or so, I didn't know it was to be taken as seriously. I didn't know that they filled in continuity until I read a comment from Eastman last year.

IMO Tales Vol. 2 > almost everything else. There's some real quality in there. Don't sleep on it!

Thanks for the advice. I'll get at least the first two. Prob digital copies though to save a few bucks.

*CyberCubed* · 01-04-2014, 01:21 AM

You HAVE to read Tales story-wise. Both Leatherhead and Rat King debut there, Savanti Romero and Renet get their second story there (which continues into issue #46-47 which are in the classics), and it also introduced Nobody who is a costumes superhero and returns in the early City at War issues.

Question about the IDW Shredder: I understand that Saki is meant to be the scarred Foot ninja Leo faces in his micro-series. Has it also been established that he's the ninja Splinter scarred in issue #2, or is that meant to be a random mook? If the ninja in issue #2 is meant to be Shredder, has it been explained why he was working in the guise of a random mook?

Toby Barrett · 01-04-2014, 09:40 AM

Bobby or Tom once confirmed that it was just a random foot ninja sometime back.

*Powder* · 01-04-2014, 04:33 PM

Did they? Huh. I had been meaning to ask about that myself, but it kept slipping my mind. That's kinda disappointing, honestly. I always thought they had big plans for that character, or maybe I just wanted them to... Maybe they'll still make use of him? Sometimes they drop little things in to hint towards future events.

Here's Curnow's post on the identity of the Foot Soldiers in TMNT #2 and Raph Micro #1. (scroll down, 3rd post from the bottom)

Yeah, it was just a pair of generics and not the incognito Shredder from Leo Micro #1, at least according to editorial. I guess they could do something with the guys if they felt like it, though.

*Powder* · 01-04-2014, 06:39 PM

Ah, thanks for bringing that to my attention. Kudos to Bobby for making such a thorough post on the subject. Interesting that they're leaving the door open on him, though!

*The Fifth Turtle* · 01-05-2014, 11:06 PM

When was vol 1 #1 released? Yes May 1984, I know but does anyone know the day? Was it premiered at the first convention for E & L?

May 5th, 1984.

*The Fifth Turtle* · 01-06-2014, 09:12 AM

Awesome thanks. Was this the street date ? Or was this the date of the first convention? Curious as to which came first.
