marcelangelo · 04-24-2012, 04:39 PM

hey, I just noticed that I have invoiced the archie reprint from idw, that means I may be getting it delivered this week...has anybody here bought it already, if so what were your thoughts on it?

*Powder* · 04-24-2012, 05:57 PM

I don't think it's out until tomorrow.

*Spitfire* · 04-24-2012, 05:58 PM

Isn't it just the '09 one again?

That's what I thought too, just without the "25th anniversary" logo on the cover.

Wasn't that reprinted in black and white? Wouldnt it be a little ironic if IDW reprints Archie in b&w and Mirage in color?

Ah, I must have been thinking about the Future Tense TPB.

I'm still confused as to what this thread is referring to.

marcelangelo · 04-25-2012, 08:09 AM

idw reprints the archie series from now on(in addition to their mirage reprints of course and soon tales of the tmnt reprints)...it was said this first reprint from idw of the archie series was gonna include the first four issues as I recall...but the promo of this book looks just like a mirage reprint from 2009, so I wanted to find out if anybody here had already bought it and could review it a little bit(extras?covers included etc?)

*Roseangelo* · 04-25-2012, 08:32 AM

It's exactly the same as the 2009 book.

*Redeemer* · 04-25-2012, 08:56 AM

Hey guys I want to read the Archie issues should I buy the reprints or buy the first prints???

Picked it up at my LCS this morning...as others have said it's the same content as the 25th Anniv. However, the cover on this version is matte and has a vellum-like feel to it...kind of a cool format really. Cross between a trade and regular comic.

Buy the issues. IDW's going to take way too long to reprint the whole thing, if they ever manage to actually get it done.

*CyberCubed* · 04-25-2012, 10:01 AM

Most of the Archie issues can still be found at mycomicsshop.com or even ninjaturtles.com online story.

oldschoolturtlesfan · 04-25-2012, 12:07 PM

Is this available on Amazon? I can't seem to find it listed anywhere.

To my knowledge this is Direct Market only as it's categorized as a comic book and not a trade paperback. So, only comic book stores will have this (unless you find a seller on Amazon that's selling it from their Amazon store).

You can also go on eBay!

Okay thanks man. Is IDW printing the rest of the Archie series in TPB form?

I second to Rose's recommendation.

If IDW decides to add some short but original content based on the style and tone of either the vintage cartoon or TMNTA comics, then they'll definitely convince me to double-dip and buy these TPBs.

I think their plan is to do so but it will take years to get them all out.
