Would You Like to See a CaW TPB?

*Kendamu* · 08-07-2008, 01:22 PM

Mirage's official stance on a "City at War" TPB is that it'll become a possiblity depending on how well their other TPBs do next year. This includes the "Forever War" TPB, the "Collected Book I" reprint, and one other project that they haven't announced yet.

I would really like to see one because with Collected Books I and IV I can get a lot of the "main story" (i.e. 1-11 and "Return to New York") and read them anytime I want without risking damage to the original issues I have containing those storylines. However, I have to pull my "City at War" issues out everytime I want to read that story. I'd like to be able to read the "complete saga" of what Kevin and Peter wrote together in TPB form in order to keep my individual issues safely stored away. Its disappointing that such didn't happen a long time ago.

Who else here would like to see a "City at War" TPB?

*Spike Spiegel* · 08-07-2008, 03:38 PM

I would. It would be a blessing if my local library got a copy. After all, no one else would have it, not my local comic shop at least.

With all the random manga and indie comics they have, my library would be very likely to get that TPB and I could finally read it.

*Kendamu* · 08-07-2008, 04:11 PM

27 views and only a single reply. I guess I was wrong in the idea that it would be nice to have a trade of this.

*ToTheNines* · 08-07-2008, 04:29 PM

Sounds great to me, I'll get the others to support this release.

Yeah I was in a hurry when you postes this earlier.
Anyway, Yeah I'd get it for sure if it wasn't redone at all and A.C. Farley did the the cover or some one who is still as talented at drawing as they once where like Dooney.

*Kendamu* · 08-07-2008, 05:06 PM

Yeah, I posted that right before closing my laptop and right after I was like, "Or you guys are just busy or something."

Kind of a "D'oh!" moment for me.

*Roseangelo* · 08-07-2008, 05:21 PM

This book is long overdue and should be a no-brainer.

Does that mean we'll ever actually see it? I wish it were so simple...

OA · 08-07-2008, 06:23 PM

Absolutey. If there were a run of comics that deserved TPB treatment, it would have to be CAW.
I think we'll get it...at some point...way down the road...

*shuriken* · 08-07-2008, 09:26 PM

Yeah I think it would be a great idea to have a TPB for city at war. I would defenitely buy it. and maybe some Volume one reprints of the older TPBs.

TMNTGal · 08-07-2008, 09:50 PM

Ditto! CAW deserves one.

I have been wondering why they don't release one of those best stories compilation books in hardcover. The top 25 stories in one book would be a great idea for the upcoming anniversary.

*ToTheNines* · 08-09-2008, 05:34 PM

Hey, when is the collected book volume 1 reprint coming out? And how much do you think it'll cost?

Don't buy it. At all. Ever.

I would love a CAW trade, simply so I won't have to library bind the original issues to get one.

Just find and get the original print right now. The new one won't have #8 in it.

Or tones, or the original lettering, or much of the original backgrounds.

twopinacoladas · 08-10-2008, 06:23 AM

I wouldnt buy it, at least not when it came out unless it had a good bonus story or something. It would have been nice if they had reprinted all those books earlier, vol 2 as well would be nice. Now I have almost completed my TMNT back issue collection with exception of a small handful from vol 1,2 and more from 3 that have been harder to get... It would make it easier to read like Goongasnootch mentioned, I think I have only read that arc twice although thats over 4 years since I only started tracking down books shortrly after the new toon started.

Why not get the reprint? ninjaturtles.com dosen't have it for sale, and it's not on amazon. Can't seem to find it on ebay either.

~~AquaParade~~ · 08-10-2008, 12:45 PM

Yes, I would love A City at War Tpb. I was more of a comic collector when I was younger, but these days I only pick up trade paper backs. I can't stand reading thirty pages and being cut off

. So excited for TMNT tpb's to finally start coming out.

Aztec General · 08-10-2008, 03:58 PM

I'd like to see it with Shades of Grey (#48-9) as well.

*Spitfire* · 08-10-2008, 04:53 PM

Why there isn't one already in my opinion is board line retarded. The biggest arc in the entire series an no trade.

I never said, "Don't get the new one." What I said was somethnig along the lines of, "Find the old one because it has more in it." I didn't say anything like, "Don't get the new one because its stupid and Peter Laird is a tool. You're no better than poop if you get it."

But, as for finding an old one, you can't just do one search and be like, "Well, now we know that finding it is impossible." Sometimes you have to do multiple searches to find it. Sometimes it hsows up in lots. Sometimes you'll find it but it'll be way too expensive. That's the nature of finding hard-to-find comics... such as the Future Shark trilogy... grr...
