I preordered mine last night and i told my fiance. She freaked out and said I had to cancel it because apparently she bought it a few weeks ago as a birthday surprise not realizing the release date on it. SO I'll be getting mine June 19th it says

*The Fifth Turtle* · 06-13-2014, 10:25 AM

Will these be avail in stores and or comic shops?

Still pretty sad about the fact that I could have contributed to the book as well. I couldn't acces my hotmail account for many months and when I read that Andrew wanted to use some stuff from my autograph site it was already to late.

That's a shame indeed, do you know what would have been used?
Still, can't wait for this book to come out!

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 06-14-2014, 04:37 AM

GUYS my book just came!!!! the video review does not do it justice. I am going to start reading it this second.

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 06-14-2014, 06:36 AM

Ok, so I have read some of the start so far

I will not spoil, but If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, may be best to PM me, so not to spoil it for others.

So far I highly HIGHLY recommend to everyone.

~~mrmaczaps~~ · 06-14-2014, 06:43 AM

finally ordered mine and hopefully it arrives in one piece. stupid USPS has been playing soccer with my boxes lately....

Rat_King · 06-14-2014, 06:58 AM

I'm seeing online what appear to be two different covers for this book. I know it is normal for the initial solicitation to be concept art but does anyone know if there is more than one cover?

I have the black cover, and I don't think there is an alt version. I think the red one was changed.

Casey · 06-14-2014, 07:18 AM

I'd like to officially retract my statement that IDW belongs on the cover more than 23K. For starters, Tom says that's not them and for seconds, if we are going by eras, it should either be 23K or the 2007 film in place of the generic Eastman-esque drawing. No films are represented, so I lean towards 2007, but personally would love to see 1990 up there because there is also NO live-action represented, but we have 2 cartoons and two comics. So, either:

1. 23K or 2007 if they are going by eras. 2007 kills two birds w one stone because it is a movie, BUT 23K has more fans a much larger impact on the franchise.
2. 1990 if they are going by media types OR again 2007, but 1990 covers both live-action and a film. And there were MANY live action turtles.

Basically, anything but this generic cop out.

Andrew Farago · 06-14-2014, 11:58 AM

Answering a few questions that have been raised:

All of the bonus inserts mentioned (certificates, fan club letters, press releases, additional art, etc.) are included in every copy of the book. That allowed us to add about 30 images in addition to the 192 pages, the 40-page reprint of TMNT #1, and the poster version of the cover (with the original background, not the blacked-out version from the book cover).

The red cover with the Turtles photoshopped onto dates back to fall 2012, when the book was called Radical Mutations. I like it, but when my publisher approved the budget for getting Ryan Brown, Kevin Eastman, and Ronda Pattison to do a new cover, that one was a no-brainer.

On the front cover, yes, that's the IDW-era Leonardo (and you can ask Kevin Eastman or Ryan Brown or me or my editor for confirmation). Two comic book Turtles, two animated Turtles. I'd originally pushed for the 4Kids Leonardo or the movie Leonardo, but the movie was off-limits and after a looooooong discussion, we decided to go with the IDW Leo. Someday I'll get around to doing a finished drawing of my original version of the cover, which would have included a lot more characters, with the movies, comics, cartoons, and video games all represented.

Book's starting to ship now, and should be in bookstores and comic shops on June 24. If you pre-ordered from Amazon or Barnes & Noble, you'll probably get your copy sooner. If you go to the Cartoon Art Museum in San Francisco tonight, you'll get it even sooner than that, plus you can get your copy signed by me, Ciro Nieli, Ken Mitchroney and other TMNT folks.

Thanks again for all of your support! So excited to finally see the book in the hands of TMNT fans!

Cheesebrush · 06-14-2014, 01:18 PM

My copy is in the post - will hopefully arrive on Monday. Managed to find a copy even cheaper than expected: £17.55 postage paid from http://www.speedyhen.com

HotNunchuckFury · 06-14-2014, 05:34 PM

Ooh thanks! That's saved me a few quid. The IDW volumes are cheaper there too

What about those of us set to get one from the publisher? Have they made their way out yet?

*discordiatookie* · 06-14-2014, 11:24 PM

Just got a copy for my Father's Day present! My wife had made up a wee card saying that it doesn't ship until the 19th, only for it to arrive (unbeknownst to me) yesterday. Timing! Ordered from amazon...

Should be going out soon. I think they just got a big shipment in from the printer.

*CyberCubed* · 06-15-2014, 07:12 AM

I plan on ordering two copies. Anyone know if this book will become a collector's item in time?

I plan on buying a second copy to leave away in a vault somewhere and sell it within 10 years time.
