Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ongoing Compendium, Vol. 3

Read IDW’s entire epic TMNT ongoing comic series (150 issues!) in three easy-to-collect volumes for the first time! Each volume contains over 1,000 pages of content!

This final volume collects the last 50 issues of the series, #101–150, with new writer Sophie Campbell taking the helm. Sophie also illustrates some issues and is joined by a myriad of artists, including Nelson Dániel, Jodi Nishijima, Ken Garing, Pablo Tunica, Fero Pe, Gavin Smith, Vincenzo Federici, and more! 

After a mutagen bomb transforms hundreds, forcing them to live in squalor in a walled off section called Mutant Town, the Turtles find New York City drastically changed—new factions and enemies are on the rise, and allies are in short supply. The Turtles discover that in order to survive, they will need to work together like never before as Mutant Town takes center stage in this countdown to the finale!

These compendiums offer the perfect opportunity for new readers to catch up on the series and longtime fans to collect all the ongoing issues in just three volumes!

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.
