It's great to see Mirage Leo again.

Am I the only one who actually enjoyed "Predator 2"?

I enjoy it now a bit more than I used to. It just didn't deliver enough "new" to the table over 1, and Danny Glover < Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I really enjoyed Predators as well, except there was way too many homages to 1 in the dialogue, and it felt like it was missing a suitably climactic ending. It felt like it'd be like if Aliens ended with just Ripley and Bishop taking off from the planet, and we didn't get that big Queen fight on the Sulaco, or something.

A better answer would be, it's a story prefaced with the Turtles finally vanquishing their greatest enemy (Saki), and Splinter tasking them to go into the wilderness of Northampton to "find themselves" after the one task they were raised to do has been completed.

They do. Maybe some, or one, better than others.

Original artist Ryan Wilton is back on, tackling all art duties. The book will be somewhat shorter than originally envisioned (approximately 32 pages vs. the 48+ I was thinking).

So would you say this will likely come out before Origin? Likewise, have you begun taking orders for this yet, or not yet?

Odds are... maybe?

So... some hard decisions will need to be made about this shortly. For a variety of reasons this project may need to be included under the banner of another.

The good news: you may get it a lot sooner than anticipated.

Let me guess, this will just turn up to be a short back-up story for Origin? Or you can't use the Predator IP?

Having gotten into the Alien and Predator franchises recently, I got pretty excited for this.
Sucks that changes have to be made, but I still appreciate that something like this is being made for fans.
Thanks Andrew.

Looks really good so far. Is the new art shown from the original guy?

Looks good. Man, I looked at the first page of the thread and forgot this thread was posted way back in 2011. This has really been in the making for over 6 years now?

Goddamn, I was only 24 years old at the time this thread was made. I'm no longer a young man, can't believe I'm going to be middle age by the time this comes out.

To put it in perspective, you posted this thread the same time the IDW TMNT comic just started in 2011, (I think it's very first issue came out the same month), and one year before the Nick cartoon began.

Hell, this was at the point where we had no idea what form or direction the TMNT franchise would take under Viacom's umbrella. God, it's amazing how much things can change in only 6 years.

Mr. Ryan Wilton is definitely, definitely out. Though every bit of his work will be retained.
