    Just ordered this. Sucks I’m hearing now it’s a glued binding’ but what a great series.

    Yeah i don't understand the thinking behind the choice either. It wasn't "rushed" out like the event HCs, which is what we hear the traditional reasoning behind the glued bindings is. With that said, as someone else pointed out, the binding is not bad. In fact, the more recent glued bindings I've gotten from Marvel have been pretty decent once the book is opened up some, but ymmv.

    I love them. All of you were right. Read the first one and almost finished the second.

    When you finish the 5th one and feel that you need some emotional support, we are all here for you

    Good choice! One of my favourite books so far. Really deserves its status as a classic. Hope you'll enjoy it.

    Just finished the 5th. And I know what you mean. Luckily I don't have to wait for the 6th too long

    What can the TMNT series be compared to? Thinking bout getting them, but looking for more information before making the plunge.

    I re-read the Beta Ray Bill stories about a decade ago, but most of this run hasn’t been read since I was an early teen in the 80s.

    Honestly that's a tough question. Throughout the IDW run there have been elements of sci-fi, adventure, comedy, and relationship/drama. It's also partly an homage to the original Mirage comics run. I'm trying to think of something to compare it to but can only come up with the original Mirage TMNT run (which probably doesn't help you much).

    I can't tell you more. This sums up pretty much everything. Only thing I can add is the action. There is a lot of action in the comics.

    I’m a bit intrigued about these as well, they seem well received but I have never read anything turtle-wise and all I can think about is the crappy cartoons and movies and it being a bit kiddy-ish, is there a chance I’ll like it?

    (It’s exactly the same with the transformer books)
