Hi! I watched this video about a year ago right after reading “The Last Ronin”. Because of your video I have now bought and read all of the IDW hardback books. Thank you for the video!
37 years old and have always been a fan. I watched part 1 with my 18 month old last night and thought I really need to read the comics. Yes they're still my heroes. Lol. Thank you for simplifying the order. I was going way too deep down the rabbit hole and read about jumping from one side issue/story to the next and back to the particular volume to maintain order. This seems a lot more doable. Will start with the black and white Mirage collection as I understand them to be the originals. Thank you!
Happy to help! I just turned 37 also, so no worries! We all can love our turtle dudes! Yeah, many can make the reading order far more complicated than it really needs to be. What's nice is the IDW deluxe editions include most all the crossovers and the TMNT Universe side stuff and do it all in chronological reading order! The Old stuff is great because you can just grab the new Compendium that just came out that collects the first 1/3ish of the original series!
This video was so helpful thank you for posting. I bought the last ronin and started last ronin 2 and completely hooked. I was overwhelmed at where to start but this helped ground me- thank you!
Thank you for the kind words, and I love helping people out! Jumping into comics can be super intimidating and I still struggle with that, too. So I'm always happy to try and help others who are curious and/or confused! Hope you love them!
My 5 yr old daughter LOVES the Shredders Revenge game on my PS5. And she enjoys the Nickelodeon show on Netflix. If nothing else, the TMNT allow me be young again and spend time with my Babygirl
Another great video man. TMNT is something I'd love to get into. I know some of the volumes are hard to come by, espec here in the UK. They also look awesome on a shelf.
Yeah, this series is great! It’s just like you described! It’s very nostalgic, but it has a fresh recreation story to make it feel new at the same time. They do a fantastic job of doing all this while making it a bit more mature! I read volume-1 hardcover, then went out and bought 2-8, and will be getting the rest. Great channel/video!
@@turtleanton6539 I haven’t gotten to that point yet (need to read vol 12-13) but I really don’t think it’ll destroy the story. I think it’ll be different for sure, but I’d rather them try new things then just rehash the same story beats over and over. I’m sure at some point they’ll end the series and start it anew. And I’ll look forward to whatever comes next too!
@@Omnibuddy it’s up to you, I kind of just quit and I’ll be reading the new Jason Aaron run. I still think the best is the original Mirage run. I’m going back through it and what a great story and writing.
Great overview! Shout out to Tom Waltz on writing too as this whole run would be nothing without him and his amazing story telling; everything new and different is squarely on him.
@@Omnibuddy 😂easily done when you get excited talking about these books! I’m waiting on volume 13 before I do a big video on all of those. Did one on the ultimate collections not too long ago. If you go on my channel have a look you might like it!
I love the Mirage editions, but the IDW series is by far the definitive TMNT in my opinion. It's a wonderful culmination of everything we know and love wrapped up in a very well written coming of age story. There's something for everyone, and seeing the different dynamics between characters like Shredder and Splinter, or revamped character origins like the Rat King, Neutrinos, Mutanimals and more. I'm so glad I picked the series up. Eagerly awaiting volume 13's arrival. I've had it pre ordered for months
@@brazyfilmo3121 What sets IDW apart is that it's kind of an amalgamation of everything TMNT. Theres elements from the Mirage comics, from the 1987 series, the 2003 series, Archie Comics run, even some elements from Next Mutation, all with their own unique spin. There's drama, humor, action, and incredible character development all around, both for old characters and new. It also has the best origin for the Turtles imo, taking what's familiar and adding an insanely creative twist to it.
I didn't realize the cross-over mini-series (like with the ghost busters) were included in the IDW hardcovers! Thank you for pointing that out! I wonder if they will eventually integrate the Street Fighter cross over as well. Super interested in that one but not sure where it falls in the timeline.
No problem! I really do hope they include the Street Fighter crossover. I think the only crossover that I can think of that they haven’t included was the Batman/TMNT stuff, but they did an Omnibus out of all three of those stories!
Hey Mitch! I absolutely loved this video and thought it was very well done. I really appreciate someone else in the FB group spreading the tmnt love! This is my all time favorite series so thanks for putting this video out! Hell, I even had a statue commissioned of one of the original characters done just because there aren’t any kind of toys or figures of that character. Also, I really liked that you showed off some of the premium formats for the IDW tmnt. As they’re very much so overlooked. Looking forward to seeing this channel grow! Take care
@Omnibuddy this is awesome as I have always been a fan of the movies as well as the TMNT animated series and the TMNT:Shredder’s Revenge beat em up title on Xbox Series X but, like most characters I love that started off in the comics, I am intimidated on where to really start so this should really help
I plan to make a follow up to this once a bit of Jason Aaron’s run has come out (#150+)! I think that the issues after #100 or so, are pretty widely agreed upon that they are the weakest. I’m not a huge fan of Campbell on the series, so I’m excited for Aaron to take over!
I usually buy everything from OrganicPricedBooks.com (and you can use code "omnibuddy" for $2 off your order and "omnibuddyshipittogether" for 5% off 4 or more books), but if they're not all available there, I usually jump over to Amazon, InStockTrades, or even eBay/Mercari if necessary!
Great video on tmnt....the first movie was the best....didn't know where to start but you explained pretty well....wish it was more ominous for the buck...but it'll be a journey....so the current turtles run is these volumes....
Glad I could help! They definitely are a bit spendy to get into since you have to play catch up, but you could always pick up the first 2-3, see how you like 'em, and then continue picking them up a 2-3 at a time until you're all caught up!
You don't HAVE to read the Mirage stuff to dive into IDW, but it is fun to read from the very beginning (though it's totally different canon events). I'd say go for the compendium versions in B&W, as the color classics (at least, The Works Editions) tend to fall apart pretty quickly. Plus, I love reading it as originally intended!
@@Omnibuddy thanks for the reply. As a TMNT fan I just purchased every IDW volume and mirage color classics 😂. Have been in a zone the last two weeks. Today I decided to get all the Hulk omnibus also. Will be diving in on a lot of reading.
At this point some of the Ultimate Collections are really out of print and expensive. I’d go for the compendiums at this point as they’re going to be less work and money to grab.
Great video and if I’m not mistaken the turtles also collaborated with the one and only legendary Flaming Carrot! Not many cover FC comics but they were also phenomenal as well and super funny! Keep up the great work! Subscribing now!
I love ur collection it’s so cool n I have read Batman TMNT 2 series n I loved it n I will start reading the IDW TMNT comics but if you could recommend more Batman TMNT comics/ graphic novels to read I would really appreciate that thank u
I'm pretty sure there are only 3 hardcovers of Batman/TMNT and then a more "kid friendly" version called "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures."
@@Omnibuddy black and white, the ones you have pilled up there on the right of the screen. Theyre brill. I only have vol #1. I thought i’d just have a look at them, but now I am reading them, I will get get more vols for sure. Also enjoying the Last Ronin, the first comic I ever read. These actually were the reasons I went back and read the old ones.
Grabbed it off Cadence a while ago. Was pretty cheap (like $180) since the art changed slightly in the book. But I think it’s cooler since it’s even more unique.
The 80s Mirage issues with Shredder and the Foot clan is some amazing work that has yet to be topped in todays current issues! I have all the IDW issues and the current ones really well lets just say..suck in story and art!
Oh man, I totally disagree! Love me some IDW TMNT! There are definitely some dips in art/story quality but overall I love it! I can see thinking that nothing holds a candle to the OG series though!
Mutant Town story arc for the last 2 years under Sophie Campbell has not lived up to Tom Waltz's run at all. Not to mention shes building a woke feminist female tmnt team.
Here's the most thorough reading order I could find on it since much of it isn't even considered canon within the Mirage run itself (lol). TMNT #9, 1-3 Raphael #1 TMNT #4-7 Michaelangelo #1 TMNT #8 Donatello #1 Tales of the TMNT #5-7 Tales of the TMNT #3 Leonardo #1 TMNT #10,11 Tales of the TMNT #1,2 TMNT #12-15,17,19-21 Tales of the TMNT #4 TMNT #24-28 TMNT #48-62
i been recently been getting into the comics i did a bit of research and saw that there is a collection for the original series aka volume 1 and the urban legends aka volume 3 is there a collection or something of the sorts for volume 2 and 4?
Very good question and one I'm not even sure about. The history of the comics are a bit all over the place and in all kinds of collections. I believe most only have trade paperback collections if that, with the original series and then IDW having been collected in Hardcovers. I don't know that I've ever seen hardcovers or even consistent collections of anything else. I'm going to have to look into this more!
You don't NEED to read the side series stuff, it does add some, but it's not TOTALLY necessary (except the Secret History of the Foot Clan, Shredder in Hell, and ones like those. I think those are included in the deluxe editions if you're reading it through those).
IDW collection is great if you're doing the new series. The Ultimate Collection and The Works are both the original series from Mirage (Works is just in color, Ultimate is in B&W). You Don't need those to read the IDW series as they're totally separate things.
Love the IDW collections I not long finished vol.12 and look forward to 13 as it goes up to #100 if your a ghostbusters fan I’d recommend IDWs series on that
The little “peg people” as they’re called were hand painted for me as a birthday present from my wife! Sadly, I sold all my turtle action figures when I was young. So stupid of me!
I am currently collecting IDW's volumes, and I did read around 50% of mirage story digitaly, but really, IDW does such an AMAZING job with everything they do, it's my fav tmnt story out there. But I wanned to ask you, have you read 2 new stand-alone 5 issue series called The Last Ronin. As a huge tmnt fan I really do recomend it, and there's just sooo many covers for you to choose. Anyway, this is my favorite vid by far, and I can't wait for the next one. Keep on rockin' my friend!!🤟🔥🐢📕
Thank you so much! I haven't read Ronin yet so because I stopped buying single issues. It's killing me though waiting on that collection! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Some of those covers to choose from too! That Santolouco variant! O_O
I really like the color classics but I'm a hardcover collector at heart so I don't want to go the TPB route (they are cool though). I was torn between getting The Works over the Ultimate Collection since they color, which is fun ...but the spines of them tend to fall apart I guess. So I went with the Ultimate Collection to keep it to the classic B&W.
I want to read it, but the new idw series is just so much... And at 40-50$ a book and 13 volumes now, that's way too much. I'm thinking of getting the compendium of the mirage one.
Totally understandable! I'd say to just plug away at it. Use the Target or Amazon Buy 2 Get 1 free sale events (Target's sale is happening now, I believe) and pick up 3 at a time once or twice a year and you'll be caught up in no time!
@@Omnibuddy yeah I just worry they'll go out of print before I can buy it all, that's what happened to me when I started buying hellblazer paperbacks, and now I'm at vol 17 with no reprint in sight lol
As a huge TMNT fan as a kid (cartoon, movies, toys, merch), it's strange I never read the comics back then. I picked up the Ultimate books a few years back, however, and have read the first couple. I need to read the rest. As for the IDW ongoing, I'm happy to hear that they're good because I've been buying them all even though I haven't read a single issue. I've been burned on hardcovers going out of print and becoming super expensive before (looking at you Plague of Frogs vols. 3 and 4 😒), so if I'm even vaguely interested in a series, I tend to buy now even if I don't plan on reading for a long time!
Totally understand that. At least with IDW they USUALLY keep the TMNT Deluxe HCs in print. So usually if one is out of print, you just need to wait 3-6 months and BAM, back in print! Can never FULLY count on that, but that's been how it's gone with this series for many years now at least! I'm with you though, I'm a couple deluxes behind on reading right now but I'll still keep buying them so I don't fall behind and can then marathon them to catch up!
Now that I’m an adult I need that gritty story telling. I also think being a 90’s kid you can still have a Batman90’s story telling that all can read or watch. Feel like we are really missing that medium in these forms of entertainment
First movie was the most faithful to Mirage while taking the color headbands from the 80's animated series. Too bad they fired the director and cut all the darker scenes.
I was talking about TMNT 3 where they travel back in time. I mean, it's not a great movie, probably a 4/10 on a regular scale, but I still have/had a lot of fun with it. lol
Hi! I watched this video about a year ago right after reading “The Last Ronin”. Because of your video I have now bought and read all of the IDW hardback books. Thank you for the video!

The original is the best. The IDW run is good up till 100 where S.C took over and ran it into the ground, but up to that it’s good.
I've read up to that ...but i really need to push through and catch up ...but I'm scared! lol
@@Omnibuddy it’s up to you, I kind of just quit and I’ll be reading the new Jason Aaron run. I still think the best is the original Mirage run. I’m going back through it and what a great story and writing.

YES. All those things! Well said.
Is the idw as dark as the mirage or more lighter?
@@brazyfilmo3121 A little of both. Mostly lighter but there are some pretty dark elements to the story as a whole
@@Tyrannosaur87 what makes the idw better than the mirage to you. I thought it was just copy and paste.
@@brazyfilmo3121 What sets IDW apart is that it's kind of an amalgamation of everything TMNT.

Great video! Looking forward to more of these overviews and reviews.
Thank you! Have a couple more series in the works!
Had the exact same experience with the third movie, we were the only ones in the theatre which was great, I love the movie for nostalgic reasons.
HAHA. Yeah, dude! I love me some nostalgia for watching! :D
Hi! I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I had learned about TMNT comics because of you!
Oh, dude, thank you! I’m happy you’re getting into the TMNT comics! So awesome and thanks for sharing!💚🐢

I realized the Works were also in color after filming. I believe I popped that text up correcting myself! lol
@@Omnibuddy yes, you did! I was just listening and missed your text flash at first.

Great video Omnibuddy!
Thank you! Hope it helped!
In the IDW run does the storyline finish with issue 100? So technically you could stop at volume 13 right?
Yeah, after that issue (IIRC) a major plot point comes to a close, so you can jump off around there, no problem!
Can you make a follow up to this video. Is it still good after eastman and waltz left this series?
I plan to make a follow up to this once a bit of Jason Aaron’s run has come out (#150+)! I think that the issues after #100 or so, are pretty widely agreed upon that they are the weakest. I’m not a huge fan of Campbell on the series, so I’m excited for Aaron to take over!
May I know what website you brought all of those TMNT Comics Books? Anyway, love your videos!

Which collection are you talking about that has 1-12? Are you talking hardcovers, single issues, something else?
Still don't know if I have to go with compendium or ultimate hc. What do you recommand ?

Really informative video. Thank you for this.
No problem! Happy to help people into this part of the fandom!💚🐢
For the og black and white comics are they really assassins??? I know they killed shredder but do they actually kill other enemies as well???
They do kill people in the OG black and white books. It’s never really gory or too graphic (especially in B&W).
@@Omnibuddy But they do have a body count. It ain't just Shredder they only killed.
They sure do!
I would love to see some HC-omnibuses of the Archie Comics and the UK-comics (very rare and forgotten stories from the golden green era).
That'd be really cool to see! I feel like Archie has been making a bit of a comeback, soooo... maybe sometime in the near future? Maybe? Hopefully? :D
I love ur collection it’s so cool n I have read Batman TMNT 2 series n I loved it n I will start reading the IDW TMNT comics but if you could recommend more Batman TMNT comics/ graphic novels to read I would really appreciate that thank u
I'm pretty sure there are only 3 hardcovers of Batman/TMNT and then a more "kid friendly" version called "Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures."
I grew up with the 2012 show, and I think I'm gonna have to read the original 1984 comic.
Heck yeah! I freaking LOVED the 2012 show! SOOOO GOOD!
Just started reading the originals, they’re great, can’t believe I waited this long!
That's awesome! Let me know how you like them! You reading the black and white "Ultimate" editions or the colorized "The Works" editions?
@@Omnibuddy black and white, the ones you have pilled up there on the right of the screen. Theyre brill. I only have vol #1.

Grabbed it off Cadence a while ago. Was pretty cheap (like $180) since the art changed slightly in the book. But I think it’s cooler since it’s even more unique.

should i read mirage comics just 1-6 because i saw some guides and it said that no 6 goes before no 4 and 5

man i got tmnt idw 1-100. and the heroes and villians micro series. Do I need all the other side series stuff?
You don't NEED to read the side series stuff, it does add some, but it's not TOTALLY necessary (except the Secret History of the Foot Clan, Shredder in Hell, and ones like those. I think those are included in the deluxe editions if you're reading it through those).
@@Omnibuddy just caved. Found a set from a guy 1-13. Gotta sell off my singles now!
I'm starting to collect the TMNT IDW collection, and was wondering if I also need to get this collection set. What's the difference between the two?
IDW collection is great if you're doing the new series. The Ultimate Collection and The Works are both the original series from Mirage (Works is just in color, Ultimate is in B&W). You Don't need those to read the IDW series as they're totally separate things.
Love the IDW collections I not long finished vol.12 and look forward to 13 as it goes up to #100 if your a ghostbusters fan I’d recommend IDWs series on that
I'm super interested in GBs but dang ...some of them are getting expensive. :/
Just ordered the first 5 volumes now 😊
OH SNAP! Have fun!💜🧡💙❤️
If you don’t mind me asking are those figures in the background the ones your dad showed you as a kid?
The little “peg people” as they’re called were hand painted for me as a birthday present from my wife! Sadly, I sold all my turtle action figures when I was young. So stupid of me!
Can I buy these in tpb as well? Can't seem to find info about that.
There are. Search something like, “IDW TMNT Ongoing TPB.” That pulled up a bunch of them for me. Not sure if they’re all still in print though.
Good luck with that theres gotta be like 50 of those by now. And they dont include the tie ins at all.
I am currently collecting IDW's volumes, and I did read around 50% of mirage story digitaly, but really, IDW does such an AMAZING job with everything they do, it's my fav tmnt story out there. But I wanned to ask you, have you read 2 new stand-alone 5 issue series called The Last Ronin. As a huge tmnt fan I really do recomend it, and there's just sooo many covers for you to choose. Anyway, this is my favorite vid by far, and I can't wait for the next one. Keep on rockin' my friend!!🤟🔥🐢📕
Thank you so much! I haven't read Ronin yet so because I stopped buying single issues. It's killing me though waiting on that collection! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!! Some of those covers to choose from too! That Santolouco variant! O_O
Is the new Compendium Volume 1 a good place to start?
Great place to start! It’s the original series! It’s the first two or three ultimate collections (IIRC) in one book!
@@Omnibuddy Thank you!
@@JWEntertainment77 no problem!
Bro I loved the last ronin
Oh, dude. Some of the very best TMNT since Secret History of the Foot Clan!
Great overview!
Thanks! Hope it helps!
awesome video!!
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot for this video! Helped me a lot while deciding on where to start collecting 🎉
Happy to help! Good luck on your hunt and reading! You’re in for some great stuff!
Such a good series bro what U reckon of the colour classics
I really like the color classics but I'm a hardcover collector at heart so I don't want to go the TPB route (they are cool though). I was torn between getting The Works over the Ultimate Collection since they color, which is fun ...but the spines of them tend to fall apart I guess. So I went with the Ultimate Collection to keep it to the classic B&W.
I want to read it, but the new idw series is just so much... And at 40-50$ a book and 13 volumes now, that's way too much. I'm thinking of getting the compendium of the mirage one.
Totally understandable! I'd say to just plug away at it. Use the Target or Amazon Buy 2 Get 1 free sale events (Target's sale is happening now, I believe) and pick up 3 at a time once or twice a year and you'll be caught up in no time!
@@Omnibuddy yeah I just worry they'll go out of print before I can buy it all, that's what happened to me when I started buying hellblazer paperbacks, and now I'm at vol 17 with no reprint in sight lol
@@brandon17760 No worries there! These things have been in print since the dawn of time!💚
Would be cool to see your Big Damn Sin City
Good call! That thing goes in and out of print all the time! I'll have to do an overview of it soon!
As a huge TMNT fan as a kid (cartoon, movies, toys, merch), it's strange I never read the comics back then. I picked up the Ultimate books a few years back, however, and have read the first couple. I need to read the rest. As for the IDW ongoing, I'm happy to hear that they're good because I've been buying them all even though I haven't read a single issue. I've been burned on hardcovers going out of print and becoming super expensive before (looking at you Plague of Frogs vols. 3 and 4 😒), so if I'm even vaguely interested in a series, I tend to buy now even if I don't plan on reading for a long time!
Totally understand that. At least with IDW they USUALLY keep the TMNT Deluxe HCs in print. So usually if one is out of print, you just need to wait 3-6 months and BAM, back in print! Can never FULLY count on that, but that's been how it's gone with this series for many years now at least! I'm with you though, I'm a couple deluxes behind on reading right now but I'll still keep buying them so I don't fall behind and can then marathon them to catch up!
Now that I’m an adult I need that gritty story telling. I also think being a 90’s kid you can still have a Batman90’s story telling that all can read or watch. Feel like we are really missing that medium in these forms of entertainment
We do really live in a golden age of content. Seems like we're getting so much for so many different age groups! I love it! :D
😊😊
💚💚
Movies not the greatest? You aren't the greatest! That movie is still fantastic.
HAHA. To each their own! :)
First movie was the most faithful to Mirage while taking the color headbands from the 80's animated series. Too bad they fired the director and cut all the darker scenes.
1:38 WRONG!!! the 1990 movie is still great.
I was talking about TMNT 3 where they travel back in time. I mean, it's not a great movie, probably a 4/10 on a regular scale, but I still have/had a lot of fun with it. lol
Oh yeah, your right that movie sucked, even as a kid lol. Somehow I missed you say that. The first one is great though
@adamwilson1691 HAHA. All good!
Love❤❤❤❤love❤😂🎉😢😮😅
:D TMNT is the best!
