The comic's first issue has sold out at the distributor level, receiving more than 100,000 orders.


Oh wow, the crossover must have been a hit amongst people that are fans of Naruto and manga overall. I sort of knew this crossover would be a hit compared to other past TMNT crossovers (ie: Batman, He-Man/Masters of the Universe). When you put a very popular manga character like Naruto in a crossover with TMNT, it was going to be a hit. That makes me wonder would DC and Marvel may try to do something similar with their IPs crossing over with anime/manga. Hell, maybe my idea of having Star Trek crossing over with Captain Harlock and a crossover with Space Battleship Yamato in a comic/graphic novel wouldn't sound that crazy after all. I wonder what other thing else could other western comic book companies can do with a crossover with anime/manga IP, like maybe have Naruto team up with Ninjak (I can also accept Ninjak making an appearance in a future Ninja Gaiden video game teaming up with Ryu Hayabusa)?

Oh man, the possibility of that idea is endless and a huge one.

@Mdo7: An Official crossover between Dragon Ball and Superman would light the internet abalze, lol. And I bet whoever would win between Supes and Goku would get one side into a tizzy. Anime hyper

I gotta say, it’s a crossover that works far better than it has any right to..

Eh I feel like it would go how the Spider-Man / Superman crossover went down.

Villains team up; convince the other hero their foe is the REAL villain, they have one little fight; if they had moms they’d get scared, but then they realize it was a set up, fight the villains together and give each other a handshake before going their separate ways.
