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

Oh true, I need to get my pre-order in on payday :P

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