TMNT IDW LIBRARY GUIDE
Want to read the IDW run of tmnt, but confused by the reading order and don't want to spend money? Below is a list of everything in order, with links to library resources (primarily HooplaDigital and ComicsPlus, which are free with a library card at participating libraries) and physical book titles you can search in your library catalog! Happy reading!
This is going to take a long time to complete, so I'm going to go ahead and publish the post unfinished and just keep making edits to it. Let me know if you see anything that needs correction. Readers can at least get a start! CURRENTLY: 16/18 Complete
Bold=reading order, Blue=BOOK, Purple=Digital, Red=Not found, Orange=additional info
*I'm going by the tables of contents from the IDW collections, but it's also on wikipedia **When searching titles, assume TMNT=teenage mutant ninja turtles, fully written out. I just abbreviated it to keep the list tidy ***I'm not going to link ComicsPlus because it requires a library-specific url to actually work. Also their availability sometimes changes. I will occasionally include a search keyword because the ComicsPlus search is funky ****Mega deep library tip: see if your library does Interlibrary Loan through WorldCat. You might have to talk to a librarian and/or fill out a special request form. But the complete IDW collections could be available that way if they aren't in your regular system. I was even able to get vol 14, which is currently out of print.
