The main TMNTU covers are all so good

Wonder what Wyrm's deal is

spookycookies · 10-19-2016, 08:30 AM

Wow looking forward to Wyrm! I wonder which issue will use the art we saw at Comic Con.

~~ChosenOne~~ · 10-19-2016, 08:43 AM

Is that Klunk on the TMNTU RI cover? /wishfulthinking

RaphaelsIsolation · 10-19-2016, 08:47 AM

Nice. I love Ross Campbell's artwork.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 10-19-2016, 09:25 AM

Wyrm, huh? "The Rot in the Shell?" Cool. No idea what this will be, except giant worm/leech mutant feeding off things (people) in the sewers.

Count me the hell in.

Now that I can get a better look on my computer, it looks like Wyrm is a mass of ooze with trash in it or something

Not ooze, I'm pretty sure he's a tapeworm or leech or some kinda sucky worm. But he's definitely got trash on him, at least for his "eyes." Which is AWESOME. I love this design. Super stoked.

A little unsure of what to make of his giant Harley Hammer, though.

Ah my bad, I didn't mean like Utrom ooze, just generic muck. What I at first thought was his mouth looks like a circular saw jutting out of his face and there's a mask or something on one of his shoulders. His feet look very strange if he is a worm/leech/some type of parasite mutant. I'm definitely intrigued; IDW has done a fair job of giving their mutants different enough backstories that they don't feel redundant or stale

...in regards to his hammer, based on the RI cover it looks like he already has a reason to hate the Turtles!

*MikeandRaph87* · 10-19-2016, 12:14 PM

I am so glad that they are not going with the cartoonish designs of the last season of Batman:TAS. Yet that would have fit with the Nick TMNT more. Now that we got the visuals and character preferences of Batman I love (Robin/Dick Grayson) they fit better with the Red Sky era 1987 cartoon. Maybe a shaded look with Archie's TMNT Adventures.

A Michelangelo solo story? Michelangelo vs Wrym? I like the prospect of it. I will assume Wyrm is more like his Archie's TMNT Adventures counterpart.

Well, as far as his feet go... Bludgeon received arms AND legs when he mutated. So yeah, the feet look a little odd, but it's consistent with what we've seen so far.

Yeah, you're right. I guess they just struck me as looking very mammalian in that image

I found this on Turtlepedia; I'd seen it before but forgotten about it, I think it was released after IDW's panel at one of the comic cons this year:

So is the Wyrm issue a one-part story? Makes me think the next batch of Universe issues will be 1 part each to complete the next trade.

Not saying the Wyrm issue isn't a one-off, but if Universe is sticking to five issues a trade like the main title, wouldn't this be the first issue in the second trade? 'Cause the Hob/Leatherhead issue already closes out the first one.

It would.

So really, this could be a one-off, a two or three-parter, or a typical four-parter. We'll have to wait and see.

*CyberCubed* · 10-19-2016, 01:07 PM

To be honest I'd prefer if IDW did more one-issue stories. Not every arc needs to be stretched out over 4 issues.

It'd also help give screentime to a lot of underused characters if each issue focuses on someone new. We haven't seen Karai, Koya and Bludgeon in a long time, basically since the end of issue 50. (and yes I know a fantasy of Koya is in the Leo backup).

Seriously, where IS Karai? I know she went to Japan but that was 13 issues ago.

Oh hush. Grow up and be patient, man. For someone who's always defending Nick TMNT, you sure whine a lot about IDW TMNT. (A far superior product, IMO)

I wonder if the RI cover of TMNT #66 is an homage to the Weeping Angels from the 2007 Doctor Who episode "Blink?"
