THE FOREVER WAR - now it depends on YOU!
 

Friends! Like most folks visiting this page, I am a huge fan of Archie Comics’ TMNT Adventures series. It is no secret that this comic book was cancelled back in the nineties (1995, to be precise). Many of us have heard about something called “Forever War”, a mysterious story arc we all were dreaming about after its very first announcement in the latest issues of TMNT Adventures. Unfortunately, the story never made it to the printed page because of the series’ cancellation.

However, in 2009 Steve Murphy, creator of the series, has announced that “Forever War” is going to be released under the aegis of Mirage Studios. Despite the fact that he had been working on it for quite some time, it was decided that the story had to be totally rewritten and redrawn. It was supposed to be the one, true finale for the TMNT Adventures universe. Alas, the TMNT rights were sold to another party leaving fans devastated by the second cancellation.

And now, after 10 years of emptiness, our hope is returning and it will finally be rewarded! The thing is, my dear friends, that we have at our disposal all EXISTING ORIGINAL material of “Forever War“, right out of 1995! And it’s FORTY pages long, 2 complete issues out of 5!

But that’s not all! We’ve finished this story and gave it a spectacular ending using everything we had. Not a single page was left out, not a single dialogue perished! The story is naturally embedded into the Archieverse and it explains EVERY SINGLE incomplete plot thread, which had existed since the dawn of the series!

Moreover, the incredible Chris Allan has agreed to finish this story with his own hands -- he will illustrate this story from beginning to end!

We are the team that brought you the TMNT Volume 3 Conclusion, “Odyssey” and “Origin,” all created in participation with the Mirage Studios legends: Kevin Eastman, Jim Lawson, Frank Fosco, Dan Berger, A.C. Farley, Rick Arthur, Rick McCollum, Bill Anderson, Will Tupper, Andres Ponce and many others! We also created a variety of TMNT fan comic not related to the Mirage or Archie universes.

And today we are proud to present you the EXCLUSIVE! A 10-page sneak peak to this story!

The singles will also go to printing as soon as I adjust the final version to a different sheet size.

My body is ready.

Wow, good time to get a bunch of TMNT storylines wrapped up. Nice to see Archie fans are getting this one now too.

I just can't stop coming back and gawking at these pages... it's beautiful!

If you guys like those, you haven't seen anything yet!

Andrew, please... my heart can only take so much.

Neat. Did the rest of the series ever have blood? That would surprise me

It was pretty rare.

I never read Archie TMNT series as I don't think it was released in the UK, but I would love to get this.

Uk
 

Of course, the Archie Comics were published in the UK during the early 1990's

Oh, it was, back in ninetees, along with your own, UK-produced TMNT comics. The magazine called 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles Adventures'. Here is more info (sorry, in Russian) with a complete list of issues:

Archie TMNT doesn't interest me in the slightest, but I am super stoked for all you Archie TMNT fans! This is awesome news for you! Enjoy!!! :tgrin: :tgrin: :tgrin:

I think the blood was usually colored something "not red" so it could be easily mistaken for something else (mud? sweat?) like when the Mutanimals all got shot up and were laying dead when Future Raph and Donnie discovered them.
