TMNT Collected Book Volume One
So I was talking about my desire for Mirage to release some trade paperbacks of the original run of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles debut series and as soon as I posted those words, I’m told that it was announced two months ago. Oops, my bad.
Anyway, to kick things off we’re getting a collection that includes the first eleven issues plus the “four micro-series,” which I presume are the one-shots for each of the Turtles. That’s fifteen issues, 544 pages for $29.95 retail come July 14th. It’s seriously crazy how excited I am to get my hands on this. I hope it sells well and they keep going through the entire run. According to the official TMNT site, this book will be called TMNT Collected Book Volume One.
TMNT: Future Tense
On top of that, they’re collecting two arcs from the Archie run that involved the Future Turtles. That’ll be “The Future Shark Trilogy” and “Dreamland,” issues #42-44 and #62-66, respectively. Apparently the Future Turtles will be featured in an upcoming mini-series called “Forever War” so they’re reprinting these. I recall enjoying those arcs quite a bit as a kid. This book, TMNT: Future Tense, will retail on July 28th for $19.95. I’m crossing my fingers that sales for this one are strong too, and we get more Archie collections.
These are still a couple months out, but damn I’m happy. Thanks Mirage!
