In 2013, IDW published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Kevin Eastman Cover Gallery collecting all of Kevin Eastman's TMNT covers to date. In 2015, they followed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman Covers (2011-2015) (still in print).

"IDW Publishing relaunched TMNT in 2011 and since then co-creator Kevin Eastman has been along to co-pilot the series and provide covers for more than 50 comic book issues! This special hardcover edition celebrates that milestone by presenting all of Kevin's IDW TMNT covers together. See sketches, blue lines, inks, finished covers, and even some "alternate takes" that never made it to the final printing. Utrom Empire, Secret History of the Foot Clan, Turtles in Time, and the ongoing… every new Eastman TMNT cover is here!"

And now in September 2024, they are following that up with a second volume. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman Covers (2015-2019).

"This second deluxe edition collects all of TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman's comic book cover art for the various IDW Turtles series from 2015 to 2019! Following up 2015's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman Covers (2011–2015), this collection contains all of Eastman's cover art from issues #51–100 of the ongoing TMNT series Dimension X, Shredder in Hell, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe, Urban Legends, and more! Also featured are black-and-white inked pages, blueline pencil layouts, and alternate versions. Presented in an oversized hardcover measuring 8 × 12.5 inches to showcase all of the art in its total beauty!"

All as the ongoing comic book series Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from IDW Publishing is heading towards #150 in April. That's getting collected in October as well…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Reborn, Vol. 9: First, Last, Always
by Sophie Campbell, Vincenzo Federici, Fero Pe, Dan Duncan
One hundred fifty issues have all led to this! Read the climactic finale to over 12 years of storytelling! Change is constant, but family is forever…at least it's supposed to be. Since recent events have left his family fractured, Donatello has taken it upon himself to do whatever it takes to protect his brothers from a threat only he saw coming. Little does he know it's already too late…Armageddon is inevitable. It's a race against time in one of the biggest TMNT stories yet! Collects issues #145–150 by Sophie Campbell and Vincenzo Federici.

Also in October, we are getting a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Layouts by Kevin Eastman Artist's Edition… originally planned for June.

"An Artist's Edition featuring the groundbreaking origins of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle series, by the legendary team of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. This is an art book, not a traditional collection of comic books, featuring rare and beautiful imagery, a collection for connoisseurs of the form. This collection is a celebration of the earth-shaking art that landed the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles a place in comic book history. Included in this comprehensive Artist's Edition are more than 300 layouts from Kevin Eastman's earliest Mirage issues. See Michelangelo, Donatello, Rafael, and Leonardo as the artist originally imagined them, before moving on to the finished art. This is a rare opportunity to see the creative process and the earliest imaginings of one of the most popular franchises ever created!"
