Sending payment when I get home. Went to send it last night after I asked for the total but Paypal was down for maintenance.

Got mine in the post today. A stellar job, thanks very much for this, DA & all others who worked on this!

Story itself is pretty good, and the way its put together its just like a proper Tales issue. It was so weird reading through, it felt so official, I miss my monthly Tales fix. There is a slight pixelation to the art, which after a coupla pages is forgotten about, and other than that - amazing! Thanks again for this, guys! The frontispiece art was great by the way.

These are about the adverts by the way, which I was quite surprised by, so i'll stick it in spoilers. May be uneeded, but still:

Spoiler:

*ToTheNines* · 07-05-2011, 03:29 PM

Pics of the ads please!

*Powder* · 07-05-2011, 03:53 PM

Are there still copies of this left?

*discordiatookie* · 07-05-2011, 03:53 PM

Hope i'm not stepping on anyone's toes here (he says, whilst looking at TTN's sig

)

Enjoy!

Spoiler:

Eh, got no idea why some came out sideways, when I uploaded them the right way round. Sorry!

Oh, and here's Raph with a moustache. Just cos he looks f*cking ace with a moustache!

Yeah, okay, its facepaint

Normally i'd scan these in, but my cable is broken at the moment. Waiting for a new'un!

*CyberCubed* · 07-05-2011, 04:39 PM

Not digging the idea of Odyssey at all. Seems like a quick and cheap way to wrap up Volume 4 by showing an aftermath of sorts. I'd rather PL himself close out the Mirage run rather than anyone else.

So which is it Andy?

Yeah I'll probably get one if there is.

*Powder* · 07-05-2011, 05:00 PM

My guess is that it's gonna focus on what happens to Mike, seeing how he's the only turtle whos life in old age has never been delved into.

Or of course it could be exactly what it looks like, a vol. 4 conclusion. Either way I'm both surprised & excited.

*ToTheNines* · 07-05-2011, 05:08 PM

Odyssey looks amazing. I mean, I remember saying farewell to Lawson's TMNT art while reading Tales #70... seeing his work in those panels gives me chills. Can not wait for that comic. And since it'll all be produced in America, we won't have to pay as much for it

I guess this means we have Image #25, Odyssey, vs. Predator, AND The Forever War on the way. Wow, thanks a lot Andrew, all under-appreciated/misunderstood comic book franchises deserve a fan like you.

Good to hear that! About pixelation -- it's wasn't my fault, atually. If you read Paleo, Planet Racers or first issues of TMNT Vol.4 there was the same problem in this books. I think Mirage just worked with scans in this way somehow.

Yes, I still have a few copies.

All I can say now, it's not the conclusion or some sort of aftermath for Volume 4. So, don't judge the book.

^This!! Especially since I was among the first to order one!

*Andrew NDB* · 07-05-2011, 09:31 PM

I don't want to talk too much about "Odyssey" yet (or hijack DA's thread), but Jim is quite a ways into it. As has been said, though, it's not a Volume 4 conclusion whatsoever (none of the dangling plot threads there are resolved here and all the lingering "mysteries" there are left intact)... though it is a conclusion in a bigger sense. Yes, there are duotones on every page, I've always been a big advocate of those. When the time is right it will be pitched to IDW.

What I will say: the future Turtles (the very future Turtles) are the stars, there's a lot of time travel, dimensional travel, and an old nemesis more powerful than ever. And stakes that have never been higher.

Oh... and there's a cowlick.

I'm sold.

As if there were any doubts that I wasn't already.

*CyberCubed* · 07-05-2011, 10:27 PM

Man, all this stuff should be pitched to IDW. If only there was some way to see it all officially published and mass-printed for tons of fans outside these forums.

What is this? It looks fantastic. By Modeen & Lawson - and its in duoshade. Wow. I can't wait to find out more! The Predator one came out magnificent in colour too. And the two page spread for 25 is awesome. __________________ Oh Discordia! Charyou Tree! Come, Reap!
