End of Mirage Group

I'm looking at the end of Mirage as the literal end of the Mirage turtles, and the independent comic scene of that era. Mirage has always had that underground vibe to it. They were the punk rock of comics. They published their own stuff, worked with their friends, and made the comics they wanted to.

I know the TMNT are Nick property, and have been for close to ten years now, but Mirage was always in the background, with a possibility of V4 getting completed, or a random comic that one of the guys would do. I know that a lot have them have done Kickstarters, but to me I had always thought something new would get a Mirage release.

In this era of giant corporations owning every license, and changing them into one homogenized product, Mirage Studios serves as the benchmark for what a studio/publisher can be. Make the comics you want, with the artists you want, and don't worry about the bottom line.
