Prediction time, how many issues do you think the IDW series will last? - Page 4

*pannoni1* · 01-02-2012, 07:34 PM

Unless if it's truly a new incarnation, I see no reason with these "new #1's", as they clearly won't have collector's value like the previous series/originals, though having separate volumes simply tries to fool the casuals into thinking it's really the first when they don't hone in on the details.

That said, I'll say about 40-50 issues for this IDW series. This would take it to sometime in 2015, well after Nick/possible movie has settled this era down. The problem though is most of today's kids aren't as interested in comics as we are, and the duration of the series is solely based on the ideas that Eastman & Duncan have up their sleeves. TMNT comics, unlike an animated series, is not something that lasts 100+ stories, generally. Afterward, expect either a Vol. 2 or a cancellation, depending on how well the Nick/Movie/Playmates sales go along with the writers' interest in terms of if there is a point to continue.

Dooney has nothing to do with this series.

By the time we have #10's numbers I think we can begin to make an educated estimate. Before that is just guesswork.

Just curious, are the issues selling better than the Image series' first 5 issues so far?

I can't see the actual issue number data on Image #1-5, but starting with #6 I can, which did about 13,500 copies. Its final issue, #23, it did about 4,600 copies.

Well I guess we're doing better than we were back in 1997-1998.

Its a shame how low sales were of the Image series by the end. I remember in the letters pages they would mention that both Kevin and Peter gave money out of their own pocket to keep the series going a little longer.

I dont expect it to last longer than 2012, but then again nothing will

hopefully for a good long time
