If IDW's expanding collection of variant covers has your head in a spin (keep up with the covers as they're released in this Ninja Pizza Facebook gallery), be prepared to stay dizzy. Kevin Eastman will be reissuing his popular collection, first published two years ago during the TMNT 25th anniversary celebration, titled "TMNT 25th: A Quarter Century Celebration," with four new covers and eight pages of new material.

The four different covers available feature artwork by Mark Bode, Richard Corben, Simon Bisley, and Glenn Fabry. While the Heavy Metal website does not specify if these reissues will be in hardcover or paperback (the original book was offered as both), the suggested retail price of $19.95 suggests they will be paperback.

If you will not be at Comic-Con, you can pre-order each book through the Heavy Metal website, where orders will be fulfilled in the order in which they are received until supplies are exhausted. You can click the linked names of each cover artist above to be taken to the order page.

Looks like I'll be picking up the Glenn Fabry one, since I have all the others from their original books. Anyone know if the Fabry one is new to this volume?
ReplyDeleteThese multiple covers (from IDW and Heavy Metal) are getting old. It's clearly just to garner more $$ from collectors like us. I think it's shameful to be honest. There's nothing really new they're trying to sell. Eastman just knows he needs to add something to make it look like it's not for the money. Shameful.
