IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Color Classics #1 - Page 2

And... here it is.

*Master Splinter* · 02-17-2012, 07:20 PM

I already own all of Vol.1 so buying this would double up that series, which would be nice to have in color. However I don't know if I can talk my wife into letting me get this, she will raise the very valid point saying "don't you already own this?".

Bobby, Tom, someone, anyone, please help convince her that I need these!

Also, I am curious if these will reprint the letter columns or have new ones....

Will this new color classics series print each issue in order, I wonder? Or will it jump around a bit like the Collections?

**Jester** · 02-17-2012, 07:26 PM

The stories are different enough, though. If anything's redundant it's the colorized Mirage stuff, as they have been released before, and are even being released by IDW in the Ultimate Collections (though in black and white).

*Powder* · 02-17-2012, 07:28 PM

I will totally be picking this up as well as the issues that follow it.

I'd personaly prefer they were a little discerning about which issues they print but I could live with them printing all the issues in the order they were published.

I see your point but hopefully they reach "Return To New York". Who wouldn't want that done in colour? There's tons of Mirage stories from "Masks" to "Shades of Grey" and "City At War" that would be great to be available to a mass audience in the more appealing colour package.

*ToTheNines* · 02-17-2012, 07:55 PM

Here's to hoping they skip the Hedden/McWeeny stuff (as well as a few others).

Not really liking the acid trip color job on the cover though, hopefully it's not indicative of what the interiors will look like.

Me. The color would take too much away from the fu*king stellar inking jobs by Pete, Talbot and Kevin. They set the tone for each of their respective issues brilliantly.

Other stories would look really good in color though. "Masks" like you said. That would be the one I'd most like to see colored.

Crazy thought... if this is somehow super successful and they continue, wouldn't it be wild to see Volume 2 in black and white? I'd buy the SH*T out of that.

Also, I think the Image run would look good colored.

*DrSpengler* · 02-17-2012, 08:05 PM

A whole series of issues in color, eh?

Yeah, I'm down with that. The First Comics collections petered off into "Easter pastel" territory and I didn't care much for them, so I'd like to see a "do-over" on those issues.

After this comes out maybe I will do an article at TMNT Entity regarding the three different color jobs. I don't own enough printings of the black and white to do a proper edition comparison. For *that* article I'd need to buy the PBBZ reprint and my answer to that is NEVER!

Anyway, I'm excited for this. This is something I doubt I would have bought in trade form, but as a monthly release I'm oddly titilated. Dunno why.

*CyberCubed* · 02-17-2012, 08:17 PM

Am I the only one disappointed by this? Instead of IDW putting out a new monthly series, like IDW's versions of Tales of the TMNT, we're already getting rereleases of stuff from the ultimate collection.

I know color is interesting to some, but what about the Archie and Image reprints we're all dying for? I'd hate to see low sales of this project wind up killing any hope of Archie and Image releases.

Oh, yeah, I'm crushed! I mean, we're only getting what... four different TMNT issues in the month of March?

Also... *ahem*.

Eh... I'll flip through it inside the shop. Not really interested right now in getting it. Eastman's coloring of the issue is the only one that matters. :p

Still, it might be fun to chalk up another issue to the #1 comparison scans:

No. No. No. That is not something any of us have to worry about. They would not insult the source material like that.

Just thought I'd put it out there, because I'm evil.

To which the correct response is "No hon, I don't. These are in color and released by IDW, not black and white from Mirage."

im excited !

If you're evil I'm Satan in the flesh. I brought it up immediately after hearing about their plans to color the OG stuff.

I was trying to remember what was being discussed when I heard that originally...
