I guess kids these days just don't read comics. The Nick comic isn't aimed at us, its aimed at 8 year olds watching the Nick cartoon. They must not be asking their parents to buy the comic.

That's a shame. I love reading comics and I think kids would love them if they gave them a shot.

If I had grade school kids in my life I would totally be buying them New Animated Adventures right now. I get my own turtle kicks off the main title.

I can see the Nick comic making it to about issue 25, then maybe IDW might want to pull the plug if sales simmer down to the 6,000 range again.

Unfortunately comics are not as stimulating as other media today.

Thats good, I am very interested to see August and September numbers, I am hoping to see a boost from the movie release.

*neatoman* · 09-04-2014, 09:50 AM

I've read a little of the Nick comic, I think a problem is that it seems to play it a little too safe, like how each story feels like it could be adapted into an episode and nothing would feel out of place. Maybe giving it a story of it's own (like the Archie series back in the day) would have saved it or at least given it a large enough following to make it stay around for a little longer but now it's a little too late.

*ToTheNines* · 09-09-2014, 05:50 AM

Full August numbers:

144. TMNT #37 - 15,470
169. Turtles in Time #3 - 11,803
261. New Animated Adventures #14 - 6,420

zodach · 09-09-2014, 02:21 PM

I have to wonder if these little boosts the last couple months is due to the publicity and marketing for the movie. It's good to see the numbers are pretty consistent for IDW.

*CyberCubed* · 09-09-2014, 02:28 PM

Hm, Nick comic is back down to the 6,000 range when last month it was in the 7,000's. Guess that was a fluke. I'm still wondering if IDW is planning to give that title the axe sometime next year.

I also wish the main series would go back to the 17,000-18,000 range like it used to be. 15,000 is too low for a comic that's gotten really good the last couple of months.

I am betting all the hype and trailers led to the spike. I just wish they main title would have brought on more new readers. Its been getting a lot of positive reviews and buzz.

Not to mention it's never been more captivating than now.

I had pretty much decided to stop following monthly, due to a lack of fulfillment with the storytelling. As of these last few months, the book has shot back to the top of my pile along with Saga, Daredevil, and Deadly Class ( Which features teenage assassin's in the coolest way since Mirage TMNT). This book deserves to be read right now.

Not bad numbers, is this also digital?

No that one thing we all keep forgetting these are not the digital numbers. I am betting the Nick adventures is selling better than we think, this new generation prefers e-books over the physical copies.

But their parents still have to buy them for their kids.

???? what the hell are you talking about??? All I said is these numbers do not reflect digital sales of the book. These sales numbers are from physical copies.

*Coola Yagami* · 09-10-2014, 10:49 PM

They should just kinda break free from the cartoon's limitations and pave their own way. I still follow the series, but my girlfriend got sick of it after issue 10 or so, especially since most of the plots seem to follow the 'omg dumbass mikey did something dumb, hilarity ensues' kinda thing. It would help if they did multi-parters. Something to actually make you want to buy the next issue.

*Redrumh2o* · 09-11-2014, 05:43 AM

I bet the series is doing very well with floppies/digital/tpb/hardcover/limited/shop and con variants all added up. With at least 1 more movie ahead I doubt anything would be in Jeopardy until the movies are done.

*ToTheNines* · 10-06-2014, 08:30 PM

Full September numbers:

181. Turtles in Time #4 - 11,526
245. New Animated Adventures #14 - 7,589

#38 just missed September.

Better than what some of them have been. Hopefully #38 remains steady or even a boost

Yeah. 37 was a great jumping-on point for new readers.
