Yeah,and understandable

[ProphetofGanja]

Is the first issue of Mutanimals still coming out tomorrow?

[Mayhem]

Possibly not, due to the port strike.

Damn I was afraid of that

Is TMNT vol.2 #10 particularly harder to find than other issues of the same volume or am I imagining things ?

Question for anyone who has ordered comics from Mirage's website:

I ordered about 13 comics in one order from them back in late December, and they still have not arrived yet. I've bought from them a bunch of times before and this is the longest it has ever taken, do you think I should contact them? It says allow 4-8 weeks for delivery.

It may not hurt with how long it has been. My orders never took more than 3 weeks despite them saying it may take 8. I'm sure it's just the holidays in addition to them not working regular hours

With the Volume 1 stuff do you guys prefer the IDW's ultimate collection in black and white or The Works books in color?

So I was going through Tumblr and I came across this pleasant picture:



Anyone care to tell me which one of our dear heroes in a half shell this is?!? It came from a Donnie RP blog, but I know Raph looses one of his eyes in a future arc, so I was just curious if it's either him or Donnie.

(Man, I can't wait till the Archie comics start getting darker. I just finished the intergalactic wrestling one and...I'm sorry, a giant floating cow head that goes through the time and space continuum? What were these guys smoking?!?!?)

[DrSpengler]

It's Michelangelo.

And it's a pretty dark issue, yeah.

The giant floating cow head is what has prejudiced me against ever reading TMNTA. I saw one issue in a bookstore as a kid, went "what the hell", put it down, and picked up the other issue they had: TMNT Volume 3 #13:



Never looked back.

Cudley is where you draw the line? You realize this is a series about anthropomorphic teenage turtle mutants who use ninjitsu to fight a villain named after a cheese grater, right?

YIKES! Yeah, I can see how you'd take that image a BIT more seriously.

Honestly, I'm willing to read as many of the TMNT comics as I can, from as early as the Mirage to even the recent 2012 adventures. I'm just happy to have a comic series to indulge in again. I never really got into any mainstream comics, except for X-men but only when Nightcrawler was involved or was the central character.

I know the Archie comics start off really silly, but I don't like to jump too far in the middle in case they make a reference. I'm a stickler for chronological order, which makes being a Nightcrawler fan even harder due to the fact he's been around since like the 70s. Still, TMNT has my by the heartstrings and I'm willing to read every page I can download.

What are the chances of the volume 4 issues being released in any other format. Any chance of the issues being released digitally?

Who owns the volume 4 material? Is there any chance of IDW releasing the issues in TP down the road?

As long as IDW keeps the licenses, we have no reason to believe that TMNT Volumes 3 and 4 won't be collected in TPB eventually. Volume 2's last TPB will be released at the end of April, so we should see Volume 3 beginning in the late summer or early fall. From there, estimating five TPBs to collect all of Volume 3 (see my assumed order below) taking a little over a year if they get released once a quarter... I would expect Volume 4 reprints in late 2016. But that's all guesswork and assumption.

TPB 1: #1,2,3,4,5
TPB 2: #6,7,8,9
TPB 3: #10,11,12,13
TPB 4: #14,15,16,17,18
TPB 5: #19,20,21,22,23

I know this is a TMNT comic thread, but I figured this fell in the ballpark:

Usagi Yojimbo. If this is his name, then what the heck does "Myamoto Usagi" mean? (Apologies for any misspellings.) I'm just confused because I've seen both titles and I can't determine what Usagi's last name is.

Usagi Yojimbo is the title of the comic and it translates to "Rabbit Bodyguard".

Miyamoto Usagi is the name of the character and it's a play on Miyamoto Musashi, a famous swordsman from Japanese history.

The Playmates toyline and Fred Wolf cartoon is the only version to actually use Usagi Yojimbo as the character's name, either as a mistake or as part of a licensing/marketing thing.

[Tazi]

Usagi Yojimbo is the name of the comic book, it means rabbit bodyguard, or something like. Miyamoto Usagi is the name of the character, and it's a mix of Miyamoto Musashi (a hystorical figure and swords man), and the word Usagi (rabbit). Miyamoto is his family name, which is first in japanese language.
