Color Classics to be collected in hardcover

*ToTheNines* · 01-18-2013, 09:45 PM

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Works, Vol. 1—SPOTLIGHT
Peter Laird & Kevin Eastman (w & a & c)
The first seven issues of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series plus the Raphael Micro-Series issue are collected in this hardcover collection, reproduced in full-color!
HC • FC • $49.99 • 308 pages • 9” x 12” • ISBN 978-1-61377-625-4

Not for me, but I thought some of you guys might wanna see this.

Interesting idea, though I'm definitly not going to be buying a copy.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 01-18-2013, 09:54 PM

I'm all for buying this

*gobo* · 01-18-2013, 10:01 PM

Neat .

The cover and title are really near. I like covers to be straightforward and simple, so in some ways, I actually like this cover better than the Ultimate Collections. It does seem a little misleading though, as it suggests these comics are of the pizza-eating variety like the other more known iterations.

*CyberCubed* · 01-18-2013, 10:36 PM

I know this is just a quick sell to make up for the individual color classics selling poorly, but I can't understand why IDW keeps reprinting the same comics over and over instead of making more trades about stuff that hasn't been collected yet.

Are we ever going to see Volume 2 collected? Or the Image series?

That's the stuff we really need collected.

*Powder* · 01-19-2013, 01:26 AM

I like the cover, but not the interior colorjobs. Neat nonetheless.

*Oculus Orbus* · 01-19-2013, 03:30 AM

I might be getting this, but I find the cover extremely disappointing and misleading. "Oven Fresh", "The Works", what's the point?

Dammit IDW, are you that determined to bleed my wallet dry? I just started trying to collect Osamu Tezuka's manga, and am still behind on the paperbacks of TMNT, another hardcover series might break me...this might have to be bought on Amazon...

*CyberCubed* · 01-19-2013, 07:44 AM

If they didn't fix the errors on Shredder, where they gave him a full blue bodysuit even giving him gloves over his hands...this is probably not worth it.

*frank_one* · 01-19-2013, 08:53 AM

I can't understand why the just don't stop giving their books weird and confusing titles. And that pizza on the cover, totally wrong and even more confusing! It's Mirage stuff inside this book, not Archie!

theClintro · 01-19-2013, 09:22 AM

This is tempting since right now I can't seem to find an affordable copy of Color Classics #1

*TheBlueTurtle1* · 01-19-2013, 09:40 AM

Is this the same as the Ulitmate collection Books, but in colour? I have a few of the single issues but stop collecting, since I thought a collection book would happen!

*frank_one* · 01-19-2013, 12:01 PM

Yes, same issues, but in colour, not oversized and without annotations by Eastman and Laird.

Ok thanks for the info, will not pay $50 bucks for it, but would go around £20 if it drops that low for pre-order on amazon.

Ha! Called it!

Nice, but gonna wait for them to come out in paperback (hardbacks are Ultimate Collections only for me) and then only if they go past the single issues. The last thing I need is another set of #1-11+micros.

Talk about redundant...

I'm sure IDW will find a way to rerelease #1-11 a 4th time.....and then a 5th time...etc.

**Jester** · 01-19-2013, 05:03 PM

Any chance for improved coloring, or do you think we'll still have Blue Berry Flavored Shredder?
