Lewis would be awesome. What happened to joaquin phoenix, I thought he was being locked up for the Dr?

My "obvious reasons" (how can they be so obvious if they are another person's reasons is beyond me ) have been clearly stated many times. There are surely a combination of factors, and Jiminy Cricket could only bring annoyance, if he continues the way he behaved so far. What are the obvious reasons?

Ya, I'd like the spidey watch, but I'm on the 1 month lock-out. Even if it makes the 48 hours where I could jump in, given how difficult it was for me to move my last (and first) offer I just don't think I have anything worthwhile to participate with.

I think the high expectations and low participation is causing people to not want to jump in, but that's just my .

that watch is awesome.

The end of the world as we know it. j/k, as I understand it, now we're waiting for anyone to step up to the plate and put up a new offer. I would expect that if someone does do that, they wouldn't be subject to a strike if their offer isn't claimed, since they are getting nothing in return for jumpstarting the thread back up. I would also guess that if they aren't already on a 1 month vacation for having claimed something, jump starting the thread and making an offer wouldn't put them in the 1 month lock out.

Actually, I haven't re-read the first series in many years so I can't be totally sure. But if memory serves, after issue #11, TMNT Vol. I had very little continuity outside of a few two or three-part story-lines up to #45 (the first of which is "Return to NY" issues #19-21 - which are included in The Works Vol. 3). I personally don't think you'll miss them in terms of continuity and you can always get the originals from eBay, online shops, or local comic shops for pretty cheap. And, quick correction to my previous...I just checked The Ultimate Collections from IDW and, while I thought IDW had gotten permission to reprint #13, 16, & 18...they apparently did not. The Ultimate Collection Vol. 3 also does not contain these 3 issues. My bad. I'll add to this and say that the issues included in The Works are the ones that Eastman or Laird directly helmed. #13 Was all Michael Dooney (writing and art) and featured the characters Complete Carnage and Radical. I'd recommend getting their backstory from Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The issue is a one-off and won't affect the Eastman/Laird continuity in the slightest. #16 is the start of Mark Martin's 3-part story that ends in issues 22 and 23. The story is a bit abstract and also doesn't relate to the overall story. #18 is a bit different in that Eastman did work on it with friend Mark Bode. They collaborated again on issue #32. Again, this won't affect the story. The main story you're looking for is contained in the issues Rich mentioned. If you've seen the first live action movie, you'll see that major plot elements are borrowed from the comics though many are heavily altered. Basically, the end of Return to New York (issues 19-21) would coincide with the end of the movie. Eastman and Laird wouldn't collaborate and put out a chronological "canon" story until issue 50 with a 13-part story arc called City at War to finish volume 1. Eastman and Laird were so busy with everything else (toys, the show, etc.) at the time that they left the comic up to one-off artists and writers. That's why volume 1 is so disjointed and diverse. The Ultimate Collection hardcovers do a nice job of getting the core story reprinted. If you want the extras, check out the TMNT "Classics Collection" of TPB's with great covers by Michael Dooney. Those collect the missing stories and I don't think any issues overlap. Thanks for all the info guys.

"The Works" books are collecting the IDW TMNT Color Classics which are colored reprints of the original Mirage books. However, certain issues of Vol. I have licensing issues and so it's my understanding that IDW can't reproduce those without coming to an agreement with the original writer. So, for #13, IDW would need to work things out with Michael Dooney. For #16, they'd need to work things with Mark Martin. For #18, Mark Bode. The interesting part about this is that IDW has to work an agreement with others for every different publication. So, IDW worked an agreement with these guys so The Ultimate Collections would include the issues. Apparently, they didn't think it was worth the additional licensing costs to reprint these as part of the Color Classics line. I see. Do you know, will those missing issues be a problem with the story continuity or are they 1-shot inbetween issues that I won't miss?

I've been buying the TMNT "The Works" collected edition. I'm happy Vol. 3 is coming out in Sept. and already pre-ordered it. I'm confused though. It collects issues #12, #14-15, #17, and #19-21. Having never read the original comics, am I going to be missing something without having issues 13/16/18? Why wouldn't they be included in the collected edition. Thanks

(thumbs u Hope you enjoy them.

Emma regular edition

Yeah I'm not digging the Darkseid to much.

Never waste a good RAK!

Do you count

congrats, glad it worked out for you.

Ok couple PM's have said the follow-up is not veto worthy. Sorry for questioning it, I've got no familiarity with those offers, so had to ask. I won't hold the thread up. Thanks for the feedback.

Just got home to see the followup offer. Don't take this the wrong way, I know absolutely nothing about any of those books in the followup offer, so I could use some community feedback on whether or not that's good or if I should veto. Again don't take this like I am implying it might be a bad offer, I don't know anything about any of those options at all. PM me or post in the thread if you have feedback, thanks.

Why do I have to make any call right now? Like bababooey said - the guy probably still hasn't woken up. Maybe he gets up and says no problem and pays the shipping and then I don't have to do anything. Or someone claims one of the offers. Still plenty if time. I think CAHokie is asking if someone else besides the guy from England can claim one of my offers, not what are you going to do if he doesn't. It seems like what you wrote above is yes someone else can claim one of my offers, the offers aren't on hold for him, but I could be mistaken, you weren't very clear.

I had the big full sized Bowen Frazetta Death Dealer statue, was back in the late-90's. I sold it a long time ago, sadly.

very cool, good luck.

Hope you got good pictures first, that's a long trip.

If international shipping is an option, I'd love these! I wouldn't mind throwing in some $$$ for shipping. I've been looking to pick up some Walking Dead stuff but it's all really expensive. If I can take them I'll post my offer tomorrow. Thanks, James I looked on the USPS website and shipping those 2 books will cost $77. I'll cover the first $12 since that's what it would cost to ship in the US if you want to pay $65 for shipping. I'd think you could buy them locally there for about that price but it's up to you.

Added option 2

I was contacted and said I'd pass on him and send him to the next guy on the list.
