IDW Ultimate Collection Vol. 1 sales

oldschoolturtlesfan · 12-02-2011, 11:34 AM

I know amazon is usually a good gauge to see how well something is selling. As of right now there are 8 left in stock. In the best selling list it is #46 in Graphic novels and # 14 in Superheroes. I hope this means that sales are at least as good as expected because we need the rest of Vol. 1 and on collected.

idk if that means its doing well. But I know the comics are doing pretty good from what I hear from the local vendors. But Im sure they will release the entire volume one eventually. But remember the economy is still in rough shape so tmnt is doing really well, all things considered

Oh and this might be a good indicator http://www.amazon.com/Teenage-Mutant...2851634&sr=1-2

EDIT: Ooh, I should have mine tonight!

I just posted this at IDW forums:

Good news, the Ultimate Collection is sold out at distributor level, and we'll most likely be doing another printing.

This bodes well for the future of these books. Signs point to us doing Ultimate Collections for all the Eastman and Laird Mirage Vol. 1 issues, including- notably- City at War, most likely broken up into two volumes.

More news as it is solidified.

(and FYI, Kevin's been held up by his recent gallery opening, so we're not quite finished with his new contributions to Ultimate Volume 2. Hopefully we're a couple weeks away from that, and from there it will be about 6 weeks to in store date. So we're probably a couple months away from that hitting stores)

This is very cool. Just got #1 today and just did a quick flip through and it looks great, can't wait to sit down and read it after the kid goes to bed (she will probably get her hands all over it when she's awake). Thanks for the update on #2 as well as news about more coming down the pipe in the future.

This is indeed great news! When will we be seeing the cover Kevin has done for Vol. 2?

Before a Vol 3 gets underway, is it possible to have fans decide which 7-8 issues get collected next? There's a lot of confusion whether issues #12-18 will be collected before Return to New York and City at War.

They've said the main focus of the Ultimate Collections will initially consist of the Eastman & Laird collaborative comics, then they'll go from there.

Most of 12-18 are Eastman or Laird stories aside from Mark Martin's #16.

Operative word is "collaborative". That narrows it down quite a bit.

Jim Lawson drew City at War, so I see no difference.

12-18 should be collected as its part of the narrative.

Well then you're an idiot. Eastman and Laird both worked on the story for City at War, making it an Eastman and Laird collaboration.

Between #11 and the first issue of Return to New York, anything the two did was with Dooney or Talbot or whoever, but not with one another. Making those issues not Eastman/Laird collaborations.

That's as clearly as I can spell it out for you.

I'm not saying I want them to skip a bunch of stuff, I'm just trying to explain to you that that's what might happen if Bobby's post is to be taken seriously.

oldschoolturtlesfan · 12-02-2011, 05:33 PM

Well those last 8 in stock issues at Amazon didn't last long. This is so great. I still can't believe that the entire Vol. 1 might actually get reprinted in such awesome quality. Then hopefully at least tpb all other TMNT volumes.

*CyberCubed* · 12-02-2011, 05:53 PM

If they want to skip around they can do so, but for new readers things may not make as much sense if they don't collect in order.

Likewise Tales v.1 should be collected again because Rat King appears in City at War.

I like how Norma Editorial (Spanish publishing) collect Vol.1. They printed TMNT Vol.1 #1-3, Raphael, #4-7, Donatello, #8 (remake without Cerebus), #9, Mike, Leo, #10-11. Then TMNT Vol.1 #19-21, Tales v.1 #2 (Nobody), TMNT Vol.1 #28, Tales v.1 #4 (Rat King), and then City at War arc (#48-62).

Also this guys put in the end of their books all cover variants of each issue they printed.

BTW, some issues from CaW was published without duoshade tones =|

Awesome news cant wit till the next volume comes out.

*Spitfire* · 12-03-2011, 01:07 AM

CAW collection, I'm in. I hope the next volumes sell as well cause it'd be nice to have it all.

azrael · 12-03-2011, 10:33 AM

I hope this puts IDW's rear in gear on releasing these books.
