Not a bit.

I'm so a newbie when it comes to the IDW comics, but now I'm just missing #1, #2, and Raphael's Issue.

So the day that the comics are released, are they at the shops? Because I'd like to get the comics the day they're released. Infestation looks promising (thank God for the preview, because I wasn't sure I wanted it). And I can't wait to get #8 to see the conclusion of the Mouser attack.

And is the official website to order, IDW? Because I want to stay on top of any deals like a lot of you got on the first issue. I hate that I missed out on that.

Did you really just ask this?

Yeah. I'm guessing it's a stupid question then? I DID say I was new to comics, right?

If you are looking for #1/2 i would say look online unless you can locate a global conquest. All my comic shops around me have the raphael shot.

By the look of the monster, I'd say it's more akin to "The Darkness Within."

Issue looks great. Hope my state will get it this week despite it being Michigan.

I was just messin' dude. But yeah, the day they are released, they would be at the shop. Or else, they wouldn't be ''released''.

Barring a screw-up on Diamond's end, your shop should get all new books that Wednesday.

Funny you should ask though, because apparently half the country is getting these tomorrow and the other half isn't. Diamond has two "distribution centers" and only one of them got their IDW load for this week. Make sure you call your shop ahead of time to make sure they got it. If they didn't, expect this issue next week.

I wish there was a way to know which distribution center didn't so we could get a rough guesstimate of who did and didn't. Heck, I may just wait and do a monthly pick up and get Infestation 1 with TMNT 8.

I'm sure Diamond knows, but as usual they're worthless.

Just so you know, Infestation part 2 will be out on the 21st and TMNT #8 will be out on the 28th.

Good to see

getting a re-incarnation (see what I did there?) in the IDW-verse.

This makes me optimistic that we might actually get to see Tristan's vision for "Gang Wars" arc re-imagined!

So I can get them all 3 in one swoop. That'll work.

Both of these reviewers don't really seem to know anything about TMNT outside of the Fred Wolf cartoons...

junkboy · 03-06-2012, 04:08 PM

It seems my online vendor will not be getting TMNT Infestation this week.
Still not added.

Unless Infestation is sold out by the 28th. Depends on how much your shop usually orders/sells as far as TMNT goes though.

*CyberCubed* · 03-06-2012, 04:39 PM

The reviewer complained that in one panel two Turtles have the same bandana color.

I don't understand why these mistakes are not being caught before the issues are printed. It reminds me of the bandana errors in the old show.

Happened in the Archie books from time to time as well, and even the 4kids show. Shoulda stuck with red...

That being said, I have no reason to trust this guy, so we'll have to wait and see tomorrow.

I doubt it. I'm sure I'm one of a select few TMNT purchasers in that store.
