I really need to start reading this.

Love Mateus Santolouco art on this book, he shows great expressions on the characters faces, would love to have a drawing of Casey Jones and Raphael by him. Always look forward to this book, it consistently delivers every month

@ms__omega: Same here. But after 46 issues, I'm thinking I should wait for an omnibus.

@ms__omega@sparty_dbq the free comic book day TMNT book IDW released actually does a really good job of catching you up on the series, obviously it only hits the high points but it does the job of bringing you up to speed on the series and what has happened pass issue 45. You could probably pick up issue 45 and the free comic ( I would think you would be able to download it online for free now) and that should give you enough info to know whats going on to be able to jump in on issue 46. The whole series is great so waiting for an Omnibus is not a bad idea either, the Micro series are equally as great.

There's also a hardcover coming out either this week or next week called the IDW collection. They're collecting the main series and the micro series together in reading order. I think the first book contains issues 1 - 12 and the 1 - 4 for the micro series.

This series has been so consistently good. I can't wait for these next few issues as everything has been leading up to a culmination in issue 50.

I haven't even read the comics yet and he's already becoming my favorite artist these days.

I love the TDKR reference.

The purple chick looks really cool!

That's Nobody (Angel Bridge)...But the The Dark Knight Reference is boss!

@ccraft: Good catch.

@scrappydont27: There was a free TMNT? Damn...they must have sold out when I got there, and I always get there within the first 2 hours, damn lol.

@scrappydont27: Yeah, I got it and it really made me want to read the older books more. The first issue is free on Comixology, and they have all the back issues for 1.99 each, which is really nice, but I'm not sure if want to go full digital for the series.

Also, one amusing thing. Comixology has collections of 4 issues that are actually more expensive than buying the 4 issues separately.

@fallingcliffs: It was gone within the first hour at my shop

@galacticfork: it's a great series I'm not big on digital books myself but when I can get a good deal I will get them

@scrappydont27: damn I guess perhaps the book stores didn't have much? lol

"city" is bound to be in "flux"? You mean City at War? Sounds like that. I did stare at that last Vulpix panel quite some time, recognizing an awesomeness in the pose of the characters, but never having read Frank Miller, i didn't associate it with Batman. Still, really cool and did look like it was something important.

Dr Don, performing surgery on himself. Seriously, somebody give this Turtle a Nobel Prize already. Is there anything he can't pilot, fix, or create? That's like the jobs of the entire Hindu triad all in one. Also, transferring consciousness to a machine-body is the rage of the Philosophy Dept.s these days
