Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles by Jason Aaron Deluxe Edition

Jason Aaron rings in an all-new era of TMNT comics in this new series! Read the first 12 issues, collected together for the first time.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have all left New York to pursue their own interests, but gathering forces will pull them back together in this collection that includes the prelude story "Long Way From Home" and issues #1–12 by superstar writer Jason Aaron and an all-star lineup of artists, including Joëlle Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Cliff Chiang, Chris Burnham, Darick Robertson, and Juan Ferreyra!

Raphael’s in prison. Michelangelo’s a TV star in Tokyo. Leonardo’s roaming the world seeking peace. Donatello’s trapped in a mutant zoo, fighting for the entertainment of the ultra-rich. And back in New York—what’s been happening while the Turtles were scattered across the globe? 

This deluxe oversize hardcover edition (7" x 10.8") also contains extras like Jason Aaron’s outline for the first six issues and a full cover gallery that includes regular covers, retailer incentive covers, and retailer exclusive covers collected in full for the first time!

Standard and Primary covers are widely available through general retailers. They often have higher print runs and can be cheaper, especially during sales.

In contrast, Direct Market (DM) and variant covers are primarily sold in comic shops. DM editions tend to have more limited availability and may be more valuable to collectors.

The main differences lie in artwork style, availability, price, and collector appeal. Ultimately, the choice between standard and variant covers depends on personal preference, budget, and individual collecting goals.
