Are the collected volumes on ninjaturtles.com still available?

I really am not a big comic person. I did get a decent deal on the 4 Graphic Novels and I have to say I am thoroughly impressed. These turtle stories have really submerged me into the world of TMNT.

The amount of brutality and serious tone is much more appreciated now that I am an adult. As a child, I grew up on the TMNT movies and the cartoon. I still enjoy watching both, but these comics have really taken me to a new level. I plan to continue reading on.

Does anyone have any suggestions of what I should start reading next?

I just ordered the 2 Tales of the TMNT Collected volumes and the Soul's Winter set as well.

Edit:

Just a question...the Triceratons & Search for Master Splinter story was really good. I am just wondering if it was covered at all in the new TMNT cartoon. I know it was based on the comics, so I am just wondering what exactly the new show covers.

your title doesn't match your post cuz of the edit but...if you meant the four books that encompass colored 1-11, i'd suggest you get 12+ and keep reading up through the first volume. it's always good to get back to the originals before starting summin new.

If you can find them somewhere, get the Tales (volume 1) TPB and Shell Shock. I got those through eBay, they probably crop up there from time to time.

Collected Books:
#4 (Return to NY) seems to be available on ninjaturtles.com. Buy! Now!

#2-3 are pretty good as well.
#6 (The River) not on ninjaturtles.com, but if you can find it elsewhere, I recommend it.

I'm way behind on my cartoon watching (going to catch upp very soon though), but I'm pretty sure that every story from #1-11 (including the one-shots) has been adapted in one way or another. And that reminds me, three of the four one-shots (Raphael, Donatello, Michaelangelo) are not in the colored books, so you could be on the look out for them as well, either in individual, later prints, or in Collected Book #1.
