If they come with badass new covers and the new interior colors look good: yes.

Yeah I don't get why IDW would put out the floppies again for an old comic. They did this with Marvels Transformers into floppies again and that didn't last very long, and they weren't even in chronological order of the issue numbers. Just random. That even got a trade collection for its first half. Has IDW done this with any other title? GI Joe didn't even get that. I know Image is doing it Walking Dead Weekly tho. Its seems to me like a waste of paper too. They should just focus on the TMNT trades line. Why inject all the resources on the reprint of floppies and then the sales don't look good later on and then IDW evaluates the situation under the wrong idea of thier own doing in the first place? Seriously how many comic stores are gonna commit to this? Its a waste of retailer spending when customers can go look for the Mirage back issues. I don't think its a good idea. For these to be in color maybe the only reason to bother. But thats useless too until they go past TMNT #11, 'cause them old First Comics TMNT color trades had those in color and the Leo solo. So we've seen that before. Rapheal was colored in the Eastman Heavy Metal TMNT 25 trade.

I'd rather IDW continually put out new trades then already re-releasing stuff in different formats. Does anyone really want to buy issues #1-11 again after they have the oversized hardcovers?

Yes. I do. And it's a smart thing for IDW to do. Maybe some people never checked out the Mirage comics and don't wanna blow $30-$50 on an oversized hardcover so, they pay $3.99 at the comic shop, like it, decide to get the next one, then they go and buy the ''Ultimate'' edition. Makes sense to me. Besides, for the collectors it's a good thing. That's probably the philosophy from a business standpoint. And it will most likey work.

And they will be in color, which is different than most are used to seeing the original issues in.

Hell to the yes. Since Kevin did most of those early covers I'm hoping he will '' remaster'' them properly this time. Doing the layout the same as the original but with his modern style of drawing the turtles.

All in all, It's gonna be a great, expensive year!

Yeah, I may be enticed... #50's rework of #1's cover is still one of the coolest covers. An update on the classic covers would be pretty damn cool.

*Powder* · 01-29-2012, 03:32 AM

I'm looking forwarad to those quite a bit. Collected books are one thing, but new reprints of single issues with fresh covers and color? That's GREAT.

**Venom** · 01-29-2012, 08:33 PM

I'm still undecided on how I feel regarding the rerelease of the old issues in color. Granted, I wasn't too fond of the coloring in the First novel due to it having a pastel look (imo), it is intriguing to see how modern digital coloring will make the issues pop.

LeoNerdo · 01-29-2012, 08:40 PM

There's only so many copies of the first volume that I think I want to own. Between the issues I already owned, The Ultimate Hardcovers, and the TMNT Classics tpbs, I don't see myself buying the single issues AGAIN just to see them colorized. The B&W art has a lot to do with the charm of the original run.

I don't see this info having been posted anywhere yet, so I'll just leave this right here.

This is the first time I've seen the contents of Volume 2 revealed.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classics Volume 2

The original stories of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles come roaring back to shelves - in all-new, full color - with the line of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Classics trade paperbacks! Volume 2 contains Mirage Studios issues #22 and #23, along with a collection of stories from the Shell Shock TP, including "Bottoming Out," "Junkman," "O Deed," "A Splinter in the Eye of God?", and "Meanwhile... 1,000,000 B.C."

*ToTheNines* · 04-11-2012, 09:39 AM

Actually those short stories are going to be in Volume 1 and Volume 2 is gonna have the the Mark Martin books.

*VaughnMichael* · 04-11-2012, 06:47 PM

IDW you folks really need to contact Mark Martin to do the cover for the collected book of his tales!
I'm pretty sure he would be more than happy to do it.

Are you talking about the Ultimate Collection Volume 2?

I preordered it on amazon and bow it says it is coming out the 24th.

But my LCS got it today. Not sure what's going on there.

I'm pretty sure it's the same deal as when the first IDW TMNT trade came out in comic shops before Amazon. I'm guessing they get priority. Which makes sense, because they probably have a hard enough time trying to compete with Amazon.

Yes and that sucks that comic shops have it already

I preordered the Ultimate Collection Volume 3 tonight

Thorneyeagle · 04-12-2012, 02:29 PM

Unless the LCS are offering the book for 29$, I don't mind the few extra weeks on books. As Matches Malone said, that is a difficult competitor.
