I haven’t been able to track down the IDW convention covers or the Hot Topic variant. Have IDW started selling these yet? I’ve spoken to Hot Topic numerous times and they have not received any copies yet and have no info in this cover either.
The IDW covers won’t be available until SDCC. If they don’t sell out there, they’ve told me they will be sold at other cons this summer or will be offered on the IDW Shop after SDCC at the earliest. As for Hot Topic, I’m sure it will appear some day on their site. It’s not in any of the Hot Topic retail stores I’ve checked either.

So this has already been confirmed for a second print then?
Right. 2nd printing is confirmed.
will mondo be making an appearance^^
Not sure actually. I haven’t heard that he will be.
hey, I love your site. I was wondering if you happen to know when these variant editions will be made available on the various sites?
Hi, thanks and I’m glad you like the site. I think the only one we know for sure is the Heroes’ Haven (after PRCC at the end of May). But I’d say most retailers will have it available for purchase on their site later next week or on the day the 30th Anniv. is released (currently May 21)..

Hey man! this looks great. Peters Turtles blog has the up to date image for this cover with the words on it!
Mikey is a bit different and so are Shredders gauntlets.
Cannot wait for this!
Yep, this is going to be a great issue. Thanks for the notice about the images on Peter’s blog…really cool.
