Reddit reviews Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1: Change is Constant

For $35, you can get Vol. 1 (issues 1-8) of the famous Mirage Studios run in hardcover. It's known for being more gritty and adult compared to the animated series.

For something more recent, try the IDW series ($13 for issues 1-4). It's a reboot set in NYC with some interesting twists on the original world.

Happy reading!

The original Mirage comics definitely aren't for kids. The turtles straight up kill people in a few instances, and there's some language--though, it's probably tame PG-13 in most cases. But the 2003 series followed the comics most faithfully, thought there were still some differences.

But you can get the hardcover issues either in black and white or in color. I don't know if they are going to release them in paperback, since the hardcovers are a bit pricey.

EDIT: forgot about the IDW reboot. That's pretty good to, and incorporates things like Rocksteady and Bebop and the Technodrome from the 80's cartoon. Also reimagines Splinter and Shredder's history in a but of an out-there way.

Both of the current Batman and TMNT series are pretty great and have easy starting points and I wholeheartedly recommend trying to get ahold of them.

Batman Vol 1: Court of Owls

TMNT Vol 1: Change is Constant

And you don't have to read either of these books to enjoy the Batman/TMNT you're gonna pick up, as long as you're familiar enough with the characters from the movies and tv shows, it should be a pretty fun read.

Check the sidebar for a lot more recommendations and just search around.

The original mirage comics are being released in these hardcover edition and the current IDW books you can pick up the paper back there are currently 8 volumes of the paper back's main story line with another 8 for side stories. Both are good I would recommend the IDW it is still ongoing so more issues are coming out.

Edit: fixed a word

OP- Amazon and B&N are your best way to go. The hardcover volumes that /u/ryan1125 linked are the best books as they incorporate the main series + side issues. The downside is only 3 or 4 volumes have been released.


If you want to just read the main story (and read 15 smaller volumes), here is volume 1

also, it can be a little scary if you aren't savvy with the comics, but look at our Reading Primer and scroll to IDW ongoing. I have linked every single trade paperback for reference.

The currently running IDW series is also pretty good, (not to be confused with the classic series IDW also owns) and fairly mature for a comic series. It has a lot of throwbacks to the old cartoons and continuities and uses them well.

I am really enjoying the current TMNT series, it is a fun quick pace book, they have three trades out now and if you want to pick up the single issues #21 takes place after the end of a story arc.

For TMNT you should start at IDW's most recent series. They release ultimate collections for the old stuff but the newest series is probably my favorite comic being released. They're close to issue 30 now I believe. Maybe even past it. Here is Vol 1 on Amazon.

I was a big fan of Daniel Way's Deadpool run (a lot of people here were not). They have starting releasing complete collection trade paperbacks for the run. There are currently two volumes available. Here is Vol 1 of the Complete Collection

It depends on what you mean by graphic novels. You can pick up the most excellent IDW series or the original series as collected editions cheaply on Amazon. But if you are looking for original graphic novels that were never printed as single issues then you are out of luck. There isn't anything that wasn't previously published first as comic series first.

Here is volume 1

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2011) | Kevin Eastman & Tom Waltz

Read the first volume of the IDW Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles(Amazon link, Comxology Link) and the first micro series, both were pretty good. I've been super busy because of school so sadly that's all I've really done.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-Volume/dp/1613771398/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1372082196&sr=8-3&keywords=tmnt+idw

that is volume 1. You know it's the current TMNT when it has Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, and Dan Duncan for creators on the covers. There are also some mini series with other writers and such that can be found in the "Customers Who Bought This Item" section.

Hope this helps.
