The best place to get started is with the IDW Collection, meaty TMNT tomes that honor the past while adding new elements to the mix. You can pick up the first two books in this collection, which have over 400 pages of Turtle action contained within them. The first IDW Collection book contains the first 12 issues of the series and several one-shot stories, to give you an idea of just how big these graphic novels are.

If you'd prefer to go all the way back to the beginning, the two Turtles Compendiums on sale are reprints of the original comic books and come with insightful annotations from co-creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. Only the second Compendium is eligible for the B2G1 deal, but the first compendium is only $58.66 when you click the bonus coupon box. You're saving over $90 off list price. Each hardcover compendium clocks in at around 800 pages, so you'll also get a workout while reading.

Skipping all the way to the dark future of the Ninja Turtles, The Last Ronin is a grim and dark tale set in a world where most of the brothers have died.

A lone surviving Turtle embarks on a seemingly hopeless mission seeking justice for the family he lost, and throughout several issues, you'll see just how New York became a post-apocalyptic nightmare. Fans can also pick up a director's cut edition of The Last Ronin with extra material, while the supplementary series Lost Years reveals new secrets of the Turtles’ past and what happens in the aftermath of the Last Ronin's final battle.

This year also marks the 40th anniversary of the Turtles, and to celebrate, a new and updated version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Ultimate Visual History is available to preorder. This new edition expands on the original TMNT encyclopedia with a wealth of additional content, including new chapters on Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, The Last Ronin, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. Priced at $75, it'll be released in July.
