From The Turtle Van (http://theturtlevan.blogspot.com) (Go Subscribe! Why Haven't You Subscribed yet?!?!):

Good morning friends!

I know a number of you are concerned about the Forever War releases in light of the recent "Doom and Gloom" atmosphere surrounding the 25th anniversary. Well fear not! I got your back!

I had the opportunity this morning to breifly speak with Steve Murphy about The Forever War releases. And the response was simple, yet encouraging:

The Forever War is still on track. The first issue is scheduled for release September 2009. 5 monthly issues in all.

So there you go my little Archie friends! Hope this brings a little sunshine to your stormy turtle world. :-)

I never read Archie, and even I'm excited as hell about this.

Wonderful news!! :D

It's been what, ten years since the last issue? I was in MIDDLE school when I read that sneak peek on the last page. I'm so looking forward to seeing this...

I'm so thrilled about these upcoming issues. I grew up with the Archie comics so these new releases mean a lot to me.

September?! But...but...I thought it would be out in May?! *twitches* :ohwell:

And Machias: It's currently been 13 years not 10.... 14 years come 09. The last issue of TMNT Adventures was in 1995.

God, that's almost a full year from now. I thought it would be soon.

But given we've already waited like 10 years for this story, I guess another won't hurt.

Will the new stories be set right after. If, I hope they will describe 1995 as it was and not as today. Like we're going to see the World Trade Center and modern Internet being int it's childhood. I hate misstakes like watching a cowboy/western film, set in the 19th century, and suddenly an aeroplane is seen in the skies.

I never got around to reading Archie, but it seems very gritty and cool. I like the idea of the future Turtles. But I'm wondering--could someone briefly describe why Future Don and Raph seem to be so much more in the series than Leo or Mike? Like ... do Future Leo and Mike have a role?

Yes, to a degree. Future Leo and Future Mike appeared in 2 storylines (Future Shark Trilogy, and Cyber Samurai). While Future Don and Future Raph were the ones to do the time-travelling.

Frankly not a huge fan of Archie either.
But really looking forward to that.

Aw, too bad. Archie's TMNT Comic has some great stuff.

Did you read a lot of Archie stuff back in the 1990's? Archie rocked.

I just read a few of the Archie universe titles. So in fact i have the plan of getting some back issues when i finish buying the back issues of some Mirage TMNT and some other stuff.

Also, future Raphael's lost one of his eyes during a fight. I think you shall read Archie, since the comics rocked.

Future Leo and Future Mike were in the Future Shark Trilogy. Future Raph even mentions how he loses an eye, but it doesn't go into much detail.

Another cool thing with Archie is how almost everything has a connection to each other, from the Eye of Sarnath to the Future Shark.
