Official Image TMNT conclusion at IDW is HAPPENING -- "TMNT: Urban Legends"

It could still be a sign, but we haven't seen anything else since then that points to this conclusion. As far as I can remember.

By who? Nick? Never happened. I mean, Gary and Frank were told kind of, "Be ready... this may be a thing!" by IDW years and years ago and I think Frank even did a cover for it he shared on his FB a little while ago when things were looking particularly grim. It's only ever been a strong interest in doing it from IDW, a push from Kevin, and a "No" from Nick. That it's a "Yes" now is very interesting.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. Hype rising.
What kind of push from Kevin? Is he just a big fan of the series?

Kevin pushing Nick. Kevin has always been a huge ally of the Image TMNT conclusion, even when we were shopping it around eons ago.

This is the best news I've heard since rejoining the TMNT community.

If we support this, we can only increase our chances of IDW doing the same for Volume 4 and Archie later down the road...

I'm really curious to see how the official conclusion differs from the almost-official conclusion Andrew put together. And also whether or not Gary and Frank care about dovetailing into Volume 4 or just go out with a bang doing their own thing!

Also, wouldn't it be great if IDW released this bimonthly? 2 issues a month, so we can get through this in one year instead of two?

I love this idea. You see DC and Marvel finding great success with this format lately. Might be a fun experiment for IDW to do it, and with a series that’s basically already produced.

This would be nice, as long as they aren't doing variant covers for every issue that comes out... blanks and Eastman covers and whatnot... just reprint them as they were, start to finish and then do the three new issues and done. Then trade collect it for those fans...

Then move to volume 4...

The problem with a Vol. 4 conclusion is PL just can't be bothered or motivated to finish it. He's the only writer of that series, nobody else can finish the series but him. He could have published new Vol. 4 issues through Mirage from 2010 till now...and in 8 years he chose not to.

Been waiting for this announcement for years since the original run is so expensive. So stoked, love the image run.

Alright, even though issue 6 is a bit dull, the part where Shadow tricked Mikey so she could play video games was amusing.

[Ninjinister]

It feels like forever since the last one.

[CyberCubed]

This was a nice aftermath and transition issue. We see Donnie still come to terms with being a cyborg and seeing what he can do, the computer CPU can still take over his body, and the reintroduction of Casey/April/Shadow. Interesting enough the way it's colored makes it look like Raph's injury isn't so bad, it seems like it's healing already.

Never understood why people were so turned off about Don being a cyborg, it was clearly a series long arc and they were going to have him back to normal by the conclusion anyway. I think it was a nice change.

[neatoman]

It just hit me that the first non-reprint issue of this series is coming in three months. It's a kinda weird feeling, even though I felt that it's total garbage all the way through, I'm still kinda hyped? Maybe I'm just interested in seeing how the 20 year gap will show.

That cover looks almost exactly like the cover to Andrew's #24. Crazy.

Also, somebody's back who I wasn't expecting to see again!
