The upcoming 4th is the last one, they're about 100 pages each so the hardback collecting them will be about 400 pages like the main series of hardbacks.

The hardback is the one that you have as avatar image, right?

Yep, the full image is on page 14 of this thread. Gave me the perfect opportunity to change things up between my avatar and signature - I'll swap out the shell next to Rat King once Volume 18's cover is available.

I hope that Volume 18 will feature Leatherhead on the cover. I think it's the biggest character in the TMNT universe to not have a cover yet. Sophie Campbell's Leatherhead always looks amazing, so that would be a nice bonus. He was on my top 3 wish list from the start (with Baxter Stockman and Karai).

I guess Armaggon has a fair shot, but I prefer Leatherhead. Armaggon wasn't there long enough in IDW and he isn't as important as Leatherhead in TMNT as a whole.

Hun, Metalhead and Bishop could have been nice on a cover too, but they are all gone for too long now and I think they will go back to the turtles on the hardcover post 150.

Not sure if I've mentioned it here previously but Sophie is planning to go with Venus for Volume 18.
Leatherhead could still happen if he gets used in the new series.

Thank you for the info ! It does make sense.

I was expecting one more volume for what will be cover in 17 and 18 (+maybe the usagi crossover). Therefore, 17: Leatherhead, 18: Rat King, 19: Armaggon or Venus.

There is still hope for him down the line, but with the relauch I am expecting the main characters to take their turns first.

Damn. Was kind of hoping to just get the Armeggedon Collection.

Is there no FCBD 2023?

Also, I see no Yojimbo crossover, as suspected.
Anything else missing?

The 2023 FCBD issue was a Saturday Morning Adventures issue.

Did FCBD 2024 already happen?
In case, which Turtles series did it feature?

This year's was the one with the Nightwatcher prequel, so it should be collected in the first volume after Sophie's run is finished.

Thank you very much

Will the "Alpha" issue(s) be included in the Collection too?

It should be, yes.

I've been paying close attention to the solicitations

Spoiler:

(mentions of the new DA and the rescue of Mondo, Pete and Seymour in MN)

from the upcoming issues in the new runs and at the moment running order is roughly as follows:

UDFC1-5 > MN1-4 > FCBD24 > NW1-3 > Alpha > V2.01-4 > MN Casey back-up > V2.05-6 > NW4-5

If future hardbacks stay around the same size as before the current page counts indicate that "Volume 19" would collect everything up to the Alpha issue - just need to see if Mutant Nation's first arcs end in issue 4 or 5.

Amazing, thank you

Sophie has just posted the finished cover art for Volume 18 on her Patreon which means the early solicitation on Peguin Random House should go up fairly soon.

Are you able (and allowed) to share it here too, please?

It's currently only on her Patreon behind a paywall, so it wouldn't be appropriate to share it just yet, but if Sophie posts it on her twitter or tumblr before the solicitation goes up I'll share it then.
