Just a heads up for those who may be interested, but I made a post over on Wizard Magazine's forums a couple months ago about the lack of a TMNT special regarding the 25th Anniversary and Mark Allen Haverty, writer of the Movers/Shakers column and header of the price guide, took it to heart and wrote something up.

Doubtful there will be anything about the new Nick acquisition, but the article should highlight the books that came out this year. Not that will do any good now...

I was just trying to do my part as a Turtle fan. :ohwell:

Ya man, it's totally cool that you were able to get tmnt some exposure in Wizard. They deserve it!

Well, you ended up giving some impact in a time when a request like that would probably just get ignored. I say kudos to you, and as corny as it may sound, sometimes one person can make a difference.

I think we should all buy this issue of Wizard! Having a constant defeatist attitude and saying, "Oh, there's not enough of us to make an impact" will never get anything done. If enough of us buy this issue, maybe it'll send the message that there is a demand for TMNT in this day and age!

Agreed I'll definitely be picking this up!

It's a comics/pop culture magazine. Was pretty cool in its heyday.

Also, I'm a subscriber so there'll be 3 people on here getting it. Well 4 if Brodie gets it, too. (He posts there as BrodieBruce and likes to prance around his roost and crow about being "teh biggest Turtal fan EVAR! I WILL DESTROY YOU!!!" lol!) :D

I always took it that it was the same dude. Skinny black guy, talks down to everyone, uses the pic of the Clerks/Mallrats guy as his avatar. :P

Ah, then do forgive. I took the name similarity and the avatar pic to mean it was the same guy. Let it be known that you had an impersonator on the WUMB then. And he wasn't always the most pleasant of persons. >_>

Looking through your posting history, you're not an elitist prick like he was, heh.

He said he used to post here but didn't anymore but never went into it in depth.

Good thing I decided not to pick it up the other day (due to the first, not-so-sure report that TMNT was absent). What a disappointment... -_-

Apparently a good thing I didn't pick one up yet. Sucks though...

Wizard could do a whole Eastman & Laird appreciation issue and I wouldn't pick the thing up. That magazine is comics "journalism" at its absolute worst.

Wizard mag used to be alright. Used to have stuff worth buying it for, like having a poster or mini-comic or a card or something in the package with the magazine and when the articles were worth reading.

Interesting to hear they seemed to be considering it though, but I'm glad I didn't catch this 'til after. It's a crap mag now IMO.

Any comic mag worth their s*** would've made a mention of an indie comic making it huge and lasting 25 freakin' years. Did they mention Usagi either at any point?

They had a small 1/8 page article briefly mentioning it a few months back.

I gotta say I'm disappointed that nothing is in the magazine. Mark Allen Haverty posted stating he had written something for his "Movers and Shakers" article and was going to mention the trades and other books that were being/have been released this year for the 25th. When I got my October issue I posted about there not being anything and he said he had submitted it for the November issue.

Wizard killed their boards so now I can't go and ask him about it, but I'll keep a look out in December's issue whenever it comes and see if it was put in there.
