Nickelodeon TMNT UK Magazine/Comic

Cheesebrush · 05-03-2013, 01:42 PM

Couldn't see an existing thread about this and decided this was the best place to start one.
Panini (the same people who recently did the TMNT trading card game) have just released a new Turtles magazine in the UK.

Its pretty much like an up to date version of the US Turtles magazine back in the early 90s. Articles, quizzes, children's puzzles, plus around 12 new pages of comic strip (divided over 2 short stories). I think these comic storeis are all-new, drawn by UK artists much like the original 90s UK Hero Turtles comic.

Like all UK kids comics, it comes loaded with "free" gifts - in this case a pack of the trading cards, a ltd edition foil trading card plus a TMNT branded water pistol (kids comics over here seem to sell purely on how much junk is taped to the front cover!)

If only the Uk Transformers comic put this much effort into the art. Will deff pick this up. Shame they haven't included reprints of the US comics.

Cheesebrush · 05-03-2013, 02:10 PM

The US comics are far too "adult" for the market this is aimed at, hence no reprints. However I did half expect this to be a UK version of the Animated Adventures comic that is due to be released in the US soon. Maybe they'll go down that route eventually?
But it's not really a comic at the moment. It's 36 pages (including covers) and only 13 pages are comic strip (one page of "how it all began" and 2 short stories at 6 pages each)

what store did you get this from?

Cheesebrush · 05-03-2013, 02:33 PM

I found it in Morrisons (UK Supermarket). I'd tried ASDA and a local newsagents first and they didn't yet have it.
The cover date says 2nd May to 29th May, so it looks like it may well have only been out for 1 day, so it will likely depend on how often your local shops get deliveries.

GRRR I don't have an ASDA near me, Ill have to check Tesco and Newsagents nest time I go in to town. Thanks for the heads up.

Typical UK comics, about a quarter actual comic and the rest adverts and puzzles. Shame it isn't a collectors edition style comic like Titan and Panini do.

nimajneb · 05-03-2013, 02:39 PM

I picked this up purely for the bonus trading card,
Great for kids with a nice variety of puzzles

So why don't they have it in the United States? do they really hate America? Because I have to travel all the way to the UK just to find them now. Or I found a website where I can buy all 7 issues. Either way, it's not fair. They have it in the UK, but not the US? It doesn't make any sense

*Mayhem* · 07-15-2015, 06:53 PM

Because, as far as I gather, it's a separate license. It's the reason why the IDW Nick comic was never sold in Europe, because the license there only applied to North America.

A. Different licenses for different nations.
B. No, of course not. That's stupid.
C. No you don't, they're available online, both legitimately & illegitimately.
D. What's not fair is how much we get that the rest of the world does not. Don't be so entitled. It's only right that other countries get some exclusives now & then.
E. Sure it does.

Don't worry everybody. I have all the newest #27-29 uk comics and #30 came out today and I already ordered it. I'm just being slow about scanning them. I'm busy translating some Anime right now so I'll post them eventually. Haven't forgotten ya'll. I'm just kinda bored with the Nick series.

*Sabacooza* · 09-14-2017, 07:59 AM

Any idea when the rest of these are coming out?

Enscripture · 12-21-2017, 06:35 AM

Had a few minutes. Here's Issue 49

Thanks, man! Since my previous computer is gone, I'm going to have to go back through this thread from the beginning and rebuild that UK TMNT collection.

Maybe but I really wish someone would upload good scans of the missing issues.

Enscripture · 10-22-2017, 07:55 AM

Okay. Stopped at #48. Kinda getting back into scanning and photoshopping. Expect the next ones soon. Just have to find them. Might be out of order but not like it matters. I'll try to do a huge batch of them. #59 is on the way. Hope this series ends soon. Got bored with it a long time ago. I'll still scan them though
