The last Colored Issue 1 i bought was that one, Mirage published. With the page errors. And i have one of the faulty copies. Gah.

I kinda liked the printing errors. It gave the comic an "I wonder why they did that with the ink?" novelty quality!

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

Which one is Eastman's coloring?

Well, we've just been informed that IDW is going to keep making Micro issues. Wouldn't that pretty much he the exact same thing?

The first colored one. He really did a style of coloring that matched the detail and feeling of the art, something the 2009 reprint totally flopped regarding.

Just a really pretty coloring job. The other two issues (not colored by Eastman) in the first volume of First Comics' reprints also look really nice. Shame Steve Lavigne went for the Easter pastels look for the other three.

Makes me wonder why IDW thinks it would be profitable to do this. All the hardcore TMNT fans bought the Ultimate collection.

Casual fans will probably pick up 2-3 issues and that's it. I really don't see why they would release Volume 1 monthly in color.

I'll be surprised if they go beyond #11.

You're a constant downer, ain'tcha?

I'm looking forward for another #1 reprint to my collection. I think I'm only missing second printing and the hardcover edition.

Trust me, working on the 1.1 motion comic has made me almost sick of it.

Matches Malone · 02-19-2012, 01:04 AM

It's probably a long shot, but I wonder if the first 4 will be released in oversized magazine format...

Also, they're only doing colorized single issues for the Ultimate Collection ones aka Eastman/Laird issues. So that's only about 30 total. The rest of the colored issues are going to be released in trade paperbacks.

Depending on the coloring job, seeing Return to New York and City At War in color could be really cool. The digitally colored 09 issue didn't look too good, so let's hope for a coloring job that actually matches the gritty underground feel of Volume 1.

I really don't undertand this. This is IDW's turn to release these comics. Tmnt is clearly selling very good so they figure why not do this? It's gonna sell. I for one am pretty darn giddy about the fact that the original Mirage issues are going to be released monthly with an all new coloring job. I don't own any of these stories in a colored format so it'll be nice to read them again in color.

Probably the same reasoning as Walking Dead Weekly.

Sure, there are Walking Dead trades available for around $15 each. But people might instead decide it'd be better to only spend $3 at a time to see how much they like the series. It might be a way for people who haven't read Mirage before to try out the series, when they normally wouldn't because the hardcover is expensive.

Putting the series in color will give incentive to the hardcore fans who don't mind buying the same comic again.

*sdp* · 02-19-2012, 09:42 AM

I like color and unless the coloring doesn't look nice I'm all over this. Though I'd prefer to be getting in trades which I think could happen if this proves to be popular, I can also see this becoming more popular than the actual IDW run. I actually think the chances of this "on going" reprints to get more of Mirage's universe re-printed than the ultimate collections.

*pannoni1* · 02-19-2012, 11:19 AM

I'm content with my first four graphic novels, even though this has better coloring. It will only make the originals more valuable as new fans come in, plus it's added promo. It's basically targeting in a similar vein to the Playmates Classics line for the figures. I wish they did Book V (#12-#14), Book VI (#15-#18, Book VII (#19-#21 AKA Return to New York) and so on as a continuation of the graphic novel series that I recently aquired for under $15 total.

*ToTheNines* · 02-19-2012, 11:32 AM

Not saying TMNT is on the same level as Batman, but there are like 5 monthly Batman books out right now (not to mention Catwoman, Nightwing, Red Hood, etc.).

As long as sales keep steady till Fall we'll be good. Then we'll get a nice boost in numbers thanks to the new show.

Oddly enough, for all the reprints I've come across, the only copy of Mirage #1 is the TMNT 2007 game preorder reprint. I suppose you could also count the collected book by First Publishing as another copy, since it contains the first three issues. So, fine. I have one black and white copy, and one coloured version. Bam.
