I recently started reading the series and can I just say - wow!
https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/IDW_Chronology
I've been reading it in chronological order thanks to the collection hardcovers that have all the stories in chronological order and so far I am loving it.
I don't hear a lot of people talk about this series and just wanted to start up the discussion.

It takes a blend of the different turtle canons and creates its own unique story which is pretty incredible, especially as the turtles each have very individual personalities. They also spend a lot of time investing on side characters too so no one ever really feels flat.
The one thing that kills me is whenever Eastman draws, his art style is just too damn gritty, I can't stand it.

Meanwhile the main artist (atleast in my eyes) draws some incredible stuff, look at this:

So any other TMNT fans here?

To me, the only TMNT is the original Eastman/Laird work either in black & white, or where all turtles wore red masks and you could only tell them apart by their weapons.

That was the real shit.

Have you tried this one yet?

I've despised every other idw comic so I never bothered with tmnt. I'm really mostly a fan of the original cartoon and the first two movies. Aside from the decent 2000s cartoon and the original comic I cant stand any of the other turtles media.

I have not. Been out of comics for some time now.

I haven't tried anything else from IDW. The last gen Nick cartoon was much better than the 2000s one imo, you should give that a try. I'm a big turtle fan in general.

So have I. For whatever reason I decided to pick these up. Haven't read a comic in years prior to this.

I read this for a while and did really enjoy it. I'd say it's probably the best TMNT media I've ever read or watched. I wish they'd make a show or film based on this. Something slightly more serious in tone than the recent cartoons and movies.

I honestly think this is probably the best version of TMNT. Not only are the turtles great, but all of the lore and side characters make sense and greatly expand the universe.

I recently got back into TMNT and reread some of the Archie comics I had as a kid the other day (when I wasn't buying action figures on ebay). I had no idea the IDW series was supposed to be so good though. Thanks for bumping the thread I'll have to check those out.

Yeah it's good. I've only read the first 10 but definitely worth it. I signed up for a Kindle unlimited trial and it's on there if you wanna speed read it
