I bet it would've been really cool.
Any chance you'd be willing to divulge some information about stories or ideas you had in mind?

Please, please, do tell more about those cancelled plans! With the way #3 wrapped up, it never crossed my mind that there might have even been plans to do a second arc in the Year of the Turtle style! Would Shredder have returned to be the primary villain or would new adversaries be created to take his place? Would we have seen the return of other TMNT characters from the Archie series like Ninjara or even a possible resurrection of the Mighty Mutanimals? What would have been the plans for Splinter as a human? Would April O'Neil have been given a larger focus in the new ongoing (she barely appeared at all Year of the Turtle)? Would any of the Turtles have undergone changes or significant character development (kinda like what the Image series did early on with the mutilations)?

I know it was discussed months ago, but I'm also of the "Superior Spider-Man is top shelf comics" opinion.

Agreed. I enjoyed the whole ride. I hope it places Otto as Norman's equal now. The one detail that bugs me is, Otto romances Anna Maria as Peter and was sexually active. It's like both Peter, who's body is being used by Otto is being raped while Anna Maria is as well because she is intimate off of false pretenses. It is amazing how they shook it off. It just did not seem necessary in the narrative.

I haven't read the Archie Sonic comics in a long time - they got REAL bad for a while and I never had a huge love of the Archie cast, so it was easy to move on - but I have heard about all of that going down. It's removed a lot of Ian Flynns monthly workload for going on six months, too, given he wrote about three ongoings for them at any given time. I feel bad for the guy.

Gotta say, these issues are impossible to find. If anyone has any leads, please let me know!

What's wrong with his post? They've been rare & pricey for a while now.

I didn't get what he meant either, I checked mycomicshop and they're all sold out. There's a few other ebay listings for Year of the Turtle, but they're around the same price.
Unless he's implying people don't buy comics on ebay...which is kinda bizarre because there's literally millions of comic listings on ebay for any comic series. |

You would know more than I, or anyone here... but is that 100% what happened? Mirage really yanked the license away from Archie? I'd always assumed that sales dipped towards the end and Archie decided it wasn't as lucrative of a property as it had been in the past to continue to pay licensing fees and whatnot, but this assumption isn't based on any hard data or info.

The most recent writer, Ian Flynn, said that's the trouble with licensed comics; you never know when the work is going to disappear due to circumstances or just the whims of the owner.

Gotta say, twenty four years and just shy of three hundred issues, not including companion series, is not bad for a cartoon spin-off comic based on a video game. For years after DC did the New 52 relaunch, it was actually the longest running ongoing publication without a renumbering. It went longer than it had any right to, which is kind of an accomplishment.
