IDW Expands Micro Comic Fun Pack Line

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are coming back in a big way. It's not because of Michael Bay, but because the characters are just so amazing and awesome. IDW publishes the comic book that chronicles their latest adventures and they've got other plans in store for the Heroes in a Halfshell. That's right. IDW announced today that they will expand its Micro Comic Fun Packs with a set of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles collectibles. This new set of fun packs will be available on April 1st from a variety of big-box retailers and comic shops. The set will offer four separateTeenage Mutant Ninja Turtles New Animated Adventures issues, with each 5.75" x 3" pack featuring a stand-alone comic-book adventure with an all-new cover (by Jon Sommariva) as well as one of eight stickers, foldout posters, and collectible, punch-out sewer caps.

"TMNT is always non-stop fun. Including them in Micro Comic Fun Packs makes perfect sense, as now these exciting adventures can find a whole new audience." said Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles editor, Bobby Curnow. "Add in a bunch of great bonus material and it's the perfect package for any fan, young and old, of the Nickelodeon Turtles."

Each Micro Comic Fun Pack comes with a complete 22-page story that's been re-formatted to perfectly suit this reduced size. The content of the comic has been expanded to include a two-page sewer playset splash page in the middle of each comic, perfect for arranging and displaying the included removable TMNT sticker. In addition, aspiring artists will love the three-page "How-to-Draw" tutorial in each issue. Each pack also contains one of eight possible foldout posters and collectible sewer caps. The sewer cap is a cardboard punch-out featuring a popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles character hidden underneath a manhole cover.

"These books are the perfect fit for the Micro Comic Fun Pack line. Each one's a complete Turtleadventure," said IDW's Director of New Business, Jerry Bennington. "It's great to be able to expand the line from our current My Little Pony Fun Packs to a great series like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. These comics feel like watching an episode of the TV show; each one is its own perfect little ninja adventure, and the fans are going to flip over all the extras in each pack!"
