"Odyssey"

[Andrew NDB]

This "teaser trailer" may give you some idea of the general tone and story of "Odyssey," which Jim Lawson is doing the majority of.

It'll be about 110 pages, and the method of release is undecided. If you'd like to see it on shelves, maybe let IDW know. :)

The team: There's some work from Arseniy/DemonAlukard (who has very generously given a lot of his own money to help keep the momentum of pages coming from Jim... we're pretty much partners in this, at this point) in it, Angie Sternitzke is doing some painting and CGI work for her two pages, Mark Feltham is doing a page (toned by Courtland Brugger/sabacooza), and there's a pretty important page from Tokka in it near the end. And of course the Dan Berger 3 page prologue. Cover (which is not a wraparound) is pencilled by Rick McCollum and inked by Bill Anderson ("Twilight of the Ring," "Juliet's Revenge").

[marcelangelo]

looking exciting, man!..I love that wide splash page we get to see somewhere in it...

[Jester]

All I had to see was Slash... :P

[Luzmagica]

Amazing! And I love that TMNT logo!!!! :tgrin: :tcool::tcool:

[Jester]

Amazing! And I love that TMNT logo!!!! :tgrin: :tcool::tcool:
I wanna say that was the logo Mirage used for later issues of volume 4. Yeah...staring with issue 28.

[Matches Malone]

Very nice! 90 pages is almost a graphic novel! If one believes in such things...

[AquaParade]

Has this been discussed on the Drome before? I am so...stoked.

[Samhain]

Um, WANT NOW!!!

[Candy Kappa]

that looks insanely awesome!

[Buffy]

so cool, me wantie! :)

[marcelangelo]

huh?at what time do you see slash in this video?

[Master Splinter]

Holy smokes that's awesome!

[ToTheNines]

I've been excited about this for a while. What an awesome looking book.

Say no more!

Yeah, then they used the regular one for 29, and went back to that "new one" for 30.

[Cowabunga Carl]

This looks like it would be great. I'd love to see this happen.

[ToTheNines]

I started a thread over at the IDW boards. http://forum.idwpublishing.com/viewtopic.php?t=11575&sid=8a6ad500970224841c8bbe080c014311

[oldmanwinters]

You had me at "Hello."

[Donnie]

Awesome!!! Sign me up. Love the NM Mikey still at 1:21.

This looks epic...

[Powder]

Slash & NM Mikey were new sights to me. AWESOME ONES. Got a chill at the end, and ALMOST a bit teary, realizing this is not only going to be sort of an end to the Mirage universe but most likely a literal end, too. Odds are Pete won't wrap things up, after all...

[Venom]

This teaser cause me to utter an audible "Whooaaa." :)

I can't wait for orders to begin, via official sources or not!

Please, please hone the dialogue so it flows smoothly and feels natural to whomever is speaking.

Nice inclusion of Slash in the group shot before the reveal a few seconds later! I was like, "Is that - it is!" :D

Bitcheth I may at forced dialogue, but supporteth I stand behind thee. 8)

[Andrew NDB]

Odds are Pete won't wrap things up, after all...

As I've written elsewhere, this isn't intended to be a Volume 4 ending. Unless there's a huge time jump in the final couple of issues of Volume 4, the events in Odyssey take place long, long after Volume 4 and in no way try to "fill in" or replace any kind of conclusion Peter intends to make in that, whenever he intends to make it (or "if").

I get the feeling the Next Mutation universe is getting wiped out of existence.

Also Mirage is never over as long as PL lives.

[Powder]

I'm aware of that, Andrew. But obviously there's a good chance this will be the last "real" turtles tale, which in a sense makes it the overall closing.

[DrSpengler]

Whose got two thumbs and is totally psyched for Odyssey?

THIS guy!!

[FearlessLeader]

Just want to join in on the accolades.

This looks amazing! :teek:

No universe is safe.

[Jephael]

I'm really excited to read this!

[Cowabunga Carl]

So this is based on a a fan fic? Is it here on the dorm?

[Lordmylar06]

I'd definitely buy this, and I can't wait to see it finished.

[Jephael]

So this is based on a a fan fic? Is it here on the dorm?

It's just some little project Andrew and I did a decade ago.

[Samhain]

Andrew, are you thinking of releasing physical copies of this or digital? I'm ready to pay right now.:D

[Andrew NDB]

Andrew, are you thinking of releasing physical copies of this or digital? I'm ready to pay right now.:D

Wayyy too early to even say one way or the other. And I don't want to rule out an official release if there's interest.

[CyberCubed]

Perhaps this has a better chance of IDW publishing it since its not based on other writers work like the Image finisher was.

Jim Lawson is such a great guy. Nice to see him agree to be part of this when he didn't have to.

My only gripe is this opens the door for endless "fan made" comics trying to be set into Mirage continuity. While these are high quality productions at this point it feels like anyone can make one of these now with som authenticity.

[IamtheKnight]

This looks great! I hope that this gets completed.

[Oculus Orbus]

I'm massively excited about that book. Also, Cuddly the Cowlick. It's gonna be epic.

[Jephael]

My only gripe is this opens the door for endless "fan made" comics trying to be set into Mirage continuity. While these are high quality productions at this point it feels like anyone can make one of these now with som authenticity.

I seriously doubt Andrew's story is going to lead to a hailstorm of every fan fiction ever written being made into comic books officially published by IDW and/or Mirage. Besides, Andrew doesn't even know yet what he wants to do with this project. He's already produced two unofficial comics, so maybe this time around he'd like to present it as a YouTube video or something. It's really up to him and he'll let us know his decision when the time is right.

[Jester]

I seriously doubt Andrew's stories are going to lead to a hailstorm of everyone's fan fictions being made into comic books officially published by IDW and/or Mirage.
That's not entirely what he meant. He meant that people may go the Image conclusion route and have a small run of their fan stories that are set in the MIrage universe printed as comics, not that IDW will pick up anyone's fan fiction.

[Jephael]

As a fan fiction writer myself I have to admit the idea of having my stories made into comic books (whether they be published by Mirage, IDW or whoever) intrigues me, though the tales I write are usually a lot more family friendly.

[ToTheNines]

My only gripe is this opens the door for endless "fan made" comics trying to be set into Mirage continuity. While these are high quality productions at this point it feels like anyone can make one of these now with som authenticity.

Jesus Christ you are negative. Someone else might make something you really like, you never know. And if it sucks... don't read it.

[Matches Malone]

It's weird to say that anything done by former Mirage staffers can be considered "fan fiction," but sometimes life is "stranger than fan fiction." (Sorry, couldn't help myself) But I do wonder, are there any examples of a fan work ever being officially picked up by a publisher? If not, it would certainly set an interesting precedent. I'm definitely curious about the history of this kind scenario since I'm sure this isn't the first, and certainly won't be the last, attempt by a fan to get his work looked at. I know of examples where a fan's work has landed them a job, but that's not the same as the actual fan work itself being published in an official capacity.

[Andrew NDB]

Some notes on the team: There's some work from Arseniy/DemonAlukard (who has very generously given a lot of his own money to help keep the momentum of pages coming from Jim... we're pretty much partners in this, at this point) in it, Angie Sternitzke is doing some painting and CGI work for her two pages, Mark Feltham is doing a page (toned by Courtland Brugger/sabacooza), and there's a pretty important page from Tokka in it near the end. And of course the Dan Berger 3 page prologue. Cover (which is not a wraparound) is pencilled by Rick McCollum and inked by Bill Anderson ("Twilight of the Ring," "Juliet's Revenge").

[Cowabunga Carl]

Wow, that's quite a team you got going there Andrew. Wish you all kinds of luck on this. Can't wait to see it finished. Anything us fellow Dormers can do to help?

[John Pannozzi]

A thought occurs. In TMNT Vol. 3 #25, Lucindra appeared. But from what I understand, Rick Arthur apparently never signed away the rights to his TMNT stories, so if this gets officially published, she probably can't appear unless Rick Arthur is tracked down and gives his consent (same with the characters from Rick Veitch's TMNT stories). Savanti Juliet is alright since Bill McCollum and Tom Anderson DID sign away the rights to their TMNT work (at least that what's Bill told me).

Lucindra didn't appear in #25, she's only mentioned. If it saw official publication (and it won't) the solution would be to just remove the mention or en-vague-en the bit of dialogue. Or just to talk to Rick Arthur about it... I've talked to him a bit already.

[Adam]

the solution would be to just remove the mention or en-vague-en the bit of dialogue.

You wouldn't even have to do that. Nobody needs to obtain permission to simply MENTION characters.

You could have a line of dialogue saying "This guy is like Batman and Spider-Man combined!" -- and as long as those characters aren't visually depicted, you'd be fine.

Rick Arthur maintains all character rights for Lucindra. I spoke to him about it once and he said he fought tooth and nail to keep the rights to her. all else though was work for hire, same as everyone else. Rick Veitch on the other hand does not have the rights to any of his characters from TMNT. thats why he's so pissed with E&L. he didnt beleive he signed over any of his stories, but i guess he did, or did after the fact because they belong to the turtleverse now. with Nick owning the turtleverse all those artists get nothing. where they use to (according to Kevin's TCJ interview) get some sort of royalties anytime books were reprinted under mirage.

[Jephael]

I'm starting to see why we've never seen any reprints of Mirage Volume 1 past issue 29!

[Andrew NDB]

You mean aside from sales beyond about that point not warranting it?

I think #50 and/or #51 saw a second print, though. Maybe Vol. 2, #1, if I recall.

Did Rick Arthur ever use the Lucindra character in any non-TMNT comics? Because otherwise she only ever appeared in what...2 issues? One of the Turtle Soup specials and #44 of Mirage were her only appearances.

[Andrew NDB]

I'm pretty sure no, but I'm currently talking to him more about the character. How cool would it be if she were to spin off into new, unique tales? Pretty cool, I'd say.

[CyberCubed]

That's what I was wondering because while its understandable that a lot of these authors want to completely own the characters they create, when it gets in the way of simply reprints it kinda rubs me the wrong way.

Thank goodness Erik Larson already said he's fine with IDW reprinting the Image series as long as Savage Dragon isn't advertised on the covers.

And for that matter, I wonder how cool it would be to see Eastman draw a cover based on the Image Turtles.

[Andrew NDB]

And for that matter, I wonder how cool it would be to see Eastman draw a cover based on the Image Turtles.

That's pretty much what you got on the #25 cover.

[CyberCubed]

Due to recent events, perhaps there should be a small panel where a group of Turtles beam down from an alien spaceship. ;)

[Andrew NDB]

Interesting note about Rick Arthur... he says that IDW wouldn't need to ask his permission to reprint his issue (#44) at all -- they just can't do anything new with her without his permission.

that is interesting. would he still receive royalties though? i'm guessing he probably would.

[VaughnMichael]

This looks really good Andrew!:o

[Aska_Badoura]

Tripped over this thread here while looking for references. :)

I think I've been eating, sleeping and breathing my two pages lately (this project is all I've been talking about, LOL), but it's so cool to have a part in this. So exciting! :thyper:

[rich]

I'm starting to see why we've never seen any reprints of Mirage Volume 1 past issue 29!

Vol. I #32 had a 2nd printing...all others to the end of the run (#62) had only 1st printings. Vol. II (all 13 issues) had only 1st printings unless you count the error #13 with switched front and back covers.

[Jephael]

I meant collective reprints.

[rich]

gotcha...;)

[Mindy]

Oooh, me likey. :)

[Andrew NDB]

Just received the 3 page (pencilled & inked) prologue from Dan Berger... all I can say is wow. This guy never ceases to amaze me. He has brought a real touching sense of solace to these pages that instantly sets the tone.

[Powder]

Good to hear, though I can't say I'm surprised. He's not a treasured part of the turtles history for nothin'.
Nice to see the ball still rolling.

Any chance of a ''sneak peak'' of that?.....:tcouch:

[nickn]

sounds pretty exciting man, I'm in for at LEAST one copy with Lawson doing art! excited!

[Powder]

I wouldn't mind a super small sneak peak either, like just a face. Don't show the whole thing like ya did with the X-mas story.

[CyberCubed]

Seeing Lawson's art really makes the pain of waiting for a Volume 4 conclusion, (if it ever happens), much more real.

Despite all the complaining people did about Vol. 4 back in the day, I really do miss it, even with the bizarre plotlines from PL and Lawson's art. I guess its true what they say, that you never know what you have until its gone.

[Andrew NDB]

OK. Just this:

http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/danpanels.jpg

[Andrew NDB]

Also, here's a little very rough sample from one of Dan's panels of me trying a technique using Photoshop to replicate the duotoning from duoshade paper that he advised me about.

http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/example.jpg

[marcelangelo]

hey, man..I know you are really into the duo shade technique yourself, but I just want to thank you for putting so much effort into making this look the best it possibly could...

[Lampy]

Not even Mirage.

GASP!!! Nonetheless very excited for Odyssey. Saw it on the back of the #24 digital issue... NOW EVEN MORE STOKED.
I guess this explains why Mikey's always missing in the future... sigh.

[Venom]

Wow, that really does make a difference! It's nice to see that even in today's world of digital shading, some semblence of the classic look is still possible. :tcool:

[Plasticplayhouse]

very cool! i LOVE the duo shade you added-classic! question...is leo's eye suppose to be wondering? cant wait for this to be completed!

[Chris]

Nice preview! Duo tones look good as well.

Is that the "middle age" Leo from the Loops 2-parter? The belt style matches but the shin and forearm wraps are new.

[Donnie]

Lookin' good brotha

[Samhain]

Those Duo-tones are subtle, but look good!

[Andrew NDB]

It's a Leo from around that time, yes. Give or take 5 years.

I know I'm a bit out of the news loop on some turtles stuff, but didn't Peter keep the rights to make a small amount of comics a year still? or did he just end up selling it off without any kind of stuff like that. I have no read interviews or know the deal, but I assume if he does have said rights, hes just burnt out and sick of it all?

[Jester]

That's exactly it. He has the rights to do it, but he has decided to not exercise those rights.

[nickn]

That's exactly it. He has the rights to do it, but he has decided to not exercise those rights.

I wonder what would upset him so much, that he has the rights to finish his final volume, but just don't want to... I'm not judging the guy, I love him and Kevin for what they BOTH gave us. But it kinda feels like a famous painting, that has 1/4th of it just missing.

I hope he finishes it one day, and gets back on track. I would love for him to exercise his rights, to all those comics a year. I would buy each and every one of them in support of him. Maybe it's just being burnt out, who knows. Like I said I didn't really dig deep into it, or look for interviews or anything.

I'm really looking forward to everything Kevin is doing with IDW, and for his fans. I think quite a few of these artists that have done huge amounts of issues and arcs really are the heartbeat of the turtles, and most of them are so very very good to there fans. I wish there was a way for everyone to be able to Thank them all for there work.

[Andrew NDB]

Then does this mean it takes place before he kills complete carnage?

That particular panel would be before. But the "present day" Leo in the story is after "Swan Song."

[Jester]

nickn, I think just being involved with almost every aspect of the franchise 24-7 was what did it. After a year or so of peace, free from the riggers of TMNT (then again he sold in what, 2009...so what do I know) maybe he'll get the jones again.

Peter Laird mentioned in his blog that the next issue may see completion by the end of this year, so that's a good sign.

[Lampy]

I truly hope so... That last panel in #31 with Splinter has me curious.

[Andrew NDB]

The Karai-Casey thing interests me the most, personally. That, and where Mike's story ultimately goes.

prettymuch what I expected. Oh well I hope that he does finish it, or maybe team with with IDW or Kevin one day for something special.

[Lampy]

Oh yes. Mikey's been flying solo for quite a few issues now, and that's been years real time. I'm interested in that story as well.
This also brings me back to CyberCubed's comment on seeing Lawson's art making the wait that much more real.

[Venom]

Peter Laird mentioned in his blog that the next issue may see completion by the end of this year, so that's a good sign.

Link please? I called myself looking for it in the comments on both his blogs but didn't spot it.

[CyberCubed]

IIRC wasn't there one more Vol. 4 issue that was pretty much finished except for tones, that PL simply didn't post online yet? I think that's what he may be referring to.

Because obviously PL/Jim Lawson aren't working on any NEW Vol. 4 issues....but I think there might be one we never saw that was just sitting around...

[Andrew NDB]

Right. #32 is pretty much in the can, it just needs to be lettered and stuff and just... you know, released (be it on Peter's blog again, or whatnot).

It strikes me as a big shame that there's an issue's worth of volume 4 pages sitting there for a year now, languishing. But I understand the reasons why it's not being shepherded out there for you and I to check out... and I get that they're none of my business.

[marcelangelo]

that should be issue #32 actually that is almost completely done and lying in wait...#31 was published online some time ago...

[Cowabunga Carl]

Yeah Andrew I'm still looking forward to this.

Whatever happened to your Predator crossover?

[Andrew NDB]

Whatever happened to your Predator crossover?

The guy stopped drawing it. And I stopped worrying about it. Eventually, though.

[Jephael]

That's the nature of story telling. Some ideas never see the light of day for one reason or another. As far as this Oddyssey comic is concerned though, I am definitly looking forward to reading it when it comes out!

[Matches Malone]

Link please? I called myself looking for it in the comments on both his blogs but didn't spot it.

This is from Peter's TMNT blog from his latest Ask PL.

http://peterlairdstmntblog.blogspot.com/2012/03/ask-pl-7.html?showComment=1332082810362#c6790979148810585 926

It may or may not happen, but the fact that he even brings it up as a possibility is a good sign, I think.

[marcelangelo]

hey, one question:I noticed there are several things in the trailer that I don't know much about or that I have never come across in my tmnt comics, does one need to research before reading oddysey to understand everything or is this book written so that you get to know everything that is of relevance for this particular story in the adventure itself and any background knowledge of other characters or things in it only adds to the pleasure?(much like usagi yojimbo comics)...

[Aska_Badoura]

For what it's worth, most of my knowledge of TMNT comics is second-hand, and I didn't have a problem following. Andrew keeps track of everything and has footnotes when events from specific issues are referenced in the dialog, so you can look them up later if you're curious. There's also a few visual things that have more meaning if you know the background, but it doesn't get in the way of the storytelling.

"Odyssey" isn't reliant on any other stories. What stories are referenced, what you need to know about them will be explained.

The Odyssey itself in the story isn't a trip down memory lane... it's mostly to new places, new times and eras never before explored in any TMNT media. Reading "Transdimensional TMNT" wouldn't hurt, I guess. ;)

[HotJuicyBurgers]

I am completely new these to forums and what is this?

In a more polite manner, this looks really awesome, would someone mind explaining what exactly is happening with this? Is this an official thing? so lost

Go check out the very first post, it give a teaser of what's to come.

It isn't official, but has the possibility of becoming so; it's a love letter to the Mirage Turtles and gives the old, future Turtles one more grand adventure spanning the multiverse.

Yah, I saw the trailer, but being new it kind of confused me. (Michelangelo being dead?)

I am new to the series so please don't ruin things for me if at all possible lol

Am going to try and collect the series at a pace that my budget allows and read them like that

[marcelangelo]

thans andrew....now I just have to find transdimensional tmnt.never heard of that one(if it wasn't a joke)...looking forward to this book!

I've never heard of Transdimentional TMNT either. Cool! Looking forward to reading it.

It's a great read, even just on its own or as a resource. Lots of original art by Jim Lawson in it, too... and you just might see some of those designs come to life in "Odyssey." :)

I agree, man. That book is fantastic. Probably the best of the Palladium TMNT series.

Glad to hear it might inspire some content in Odyssey.
Even I'm using it as inspiration for one of my own TMNT fan comics.

Duuuuude, yeah, I would too. Make it so.

definitely... i wasn't around for the previous of Andrew's and Arseniy's books. but i'd definitely get this one. it already looks interesting. and since we're not getting any activity in the mirage Turtles universe anymore, it's nice to see that in the fans' eyes... it's worth writing about official or not. i'm definitely getting this and you have my support, Andrew.

Its funny how Jim Lawson thought he'd be done with TMNT art after Tales concluded in 2010, but then thanks to commissions from fans, comic projects like this, and even IDW hiring him to do covers for old Archie collections...the man is still in business.

Looks awesome, I forgot about this good to see its still happening.

If you did a Kickstarter I might be interested in helping, if the rewards were basically paying for the art and getting a page as I wouldn't mind owning another Jim Lawson piece. Although I just got laid off last week, hoping for a callback soon...

Awesome stuff. The previews you give definitely help take the edge off. I'm super eager for this, moreso than a lot of other cool things that are to come.

I have a question though, I know there are some Turtles Forever esque sequences in this book showing the many other prominent TMNT universes at risk or whatever you wanna call it, do you plan to include the new generation of turtles into that? The Nick series, IDW book, etc...

If you guys want a look at where this story was originally inspired from, you can check out the fanfics I wrote and was involved with beginning some 14 years ago:

Transcension: http://thegreenlanterncorps.com/tmnt/transcension.html

Deliverance: http://www.thegreenlanterncorps.com/tmnt/deliverance.html

But there is only shades of those stories in "Odyssey." And the big secrets you think you might unlock from reading those fanfics... you'll probably just end up being wrong as what we're doing here is pretty radically different. But a few things remain.

[Andrew NDB]

Good to hear! My mind immediately went to the anime/manga versions, I wonder if they'll participate.

Never say never. :)

[oldmanwinters]

Aw, Andrew that video music around @1:50 gave me flashbacks to Titanic. Music... so sad...:tcry:

Also, great job on getting all those art styles together.

Regarding your old fan sites, however, I'd consider removing the back ground music. It's quite a surprise when you click on a link and the tunes start blasting in my speakers without warning. :tgrin:

Not a bad question. I think this might warrant a throwaway line of dialogue or two, but nothing more than that. Would seem wrong to outright ignore it.

The unpublished Murphy/Lawson TMNT #8 (but later published by DemonAlukard as Tales #71) is also stealth-referenced.

Private messaged you, Andrew-- haven't heard back. If I don't hear back soon I'll try Facebook :)

Merry Christmas from the Odyssey crew... just a note to let everyone following this that everything that can be done to usher this along, is being done.

If all goes well in about 2-3 weeks, also, I should be able to show you all the Odyssey cover from Rick McCollum and Bill Anderson.

[Mewzard]

Wow, I can't wait to see the cover (more so on my shelf than on the internet, but hey, I'll take what I can get).

You must be just as excited as us to get the book out. Your hard work (and the hard work of the fantastic artists) will be greatly appreciated (in my hands at the very least, and I assume to many others as well).

[marcelangelo]

yeah, this will be immensly cherished by me as well!...good to hear about the progress, dude!

Another little sneak peek:

[Jester]

Slash seems to agree with the fan-base about an certain "other" 5th turtle.

[sdp]

Sorry for asking a n00b question but quickly lurking over the thread I didn't get a straight answer, so this is another comic done in the style of the Image ending? But for Mirage and with the multiverse? Is it supposed to be an ending or what exactly?

It's intended to be a Mirage ending, but not a Volume 4 conclusion. Elderly Mirage TMNT are the main characters and both the Multiverse and time travel (moreso time travel than the Multiverse) are involved. The Archie universe in particular gets a lot of play, and I think fans of the Mutanimals will be pleased.

Off topic but in image #25 you wrote, how did raph's eye become healed halfway through the book? I was reading it on my phone so I may have missed something.

The answer is near the beginning of the book in what Baxter tells Don, and is the same answer as what brought back Leo's hand.

That's the first time I've ever seen a Lawson Venus. I can't wait to see how this story pulls everything together!

[ToTheNines]

Haha, I wonder if Slash kills her.

Jim's looking great, by the way. So excited for this.

[CyberCubed]

I don't think anyone would mind if a certain female turtle was either killed or her whole universe was wiped out of the timeline.

In fact, considering Next Mutation wasn't even recognized back in the, "Turtles Forever" movie, its probably for the best.

[Master Splinter]

That little preview is great. I am so happy I was able to help contribute to this project. It's exciting seeing it moving along.

[Andrew NDB]

That's the first time I've ever seen a Lawson Venus. I can't wait to see how this story pulls everything together!

I'd seen him draw at least a couple Venuses for commission/pinup type stuff but in waiting for pages from him I was anxiously curious how he'd approach her in sequential comic book art. He's really killing this, it's amazing.

This is the digital DuoShade you were talking about (and you showed us months ago, I seem to remember), right? It looks good. It's always a pleasure to see more art from Lawson!

It is. The latest batches of pages I'm getting back from Lawson are sans duoshade paper, as he's fresh out. The options were: 1) Forge ahead without duotoning, just raw Jim Lawson pencil & inked art, 2) Use a digital duotoning technique (which Berger recommended and Lawson gave a thumbs up on), or 3) Have one of my guys apply Image finisher-esque tones.

I'm a big fan of consistency and I'm a big fan of duotones and I'm going with #2.

[discordiatookie]

I am awful excited about getting new Lawson turtle art in a comic!

Option 2 for the duotones sounds the best idea personally, for consistency more than anything...

[Chris]

Option 2 sounds best to me as well.

I'd seen him draw at least a couple Venuses for commission/pinup type stuff but in waiting for pages from him I was anxiously curious how he'd approach her in sequential comic book art. He's really killing this, it's amazing.

How far along is he now? It's nice getting his covers on the IDW collections, but I really miss his sequential work so I'm really looking forward to this.

Plus Venus!! Never thought I'd see her again! At this rate I don't think I'd be surprised if you somehow managed to include Kirby the 5th Turtle! This book is going to be epic.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

When should this be in our hands again?

[CyberCubed]

It's a real shame Andrew's TMNT comics aren't on comic book shelves. Shame that IDW probably doesn't want to purchase the story due to the obvious fees they would have to pay to both Andrew and Jim Lawson.

That really doesn't have anything to do with it. Those folks have been very cool toward "Odyssey."

When should this be in our hands again?

That ball is really in Lawson's court now. If it were up to me: "Tomorrow!"

That said, he's turning out pages at a pretty steady rate now, and they're looking great. Should have Ross Campbell's page in a little while, and there may be a couple of other surprise talent additions in the days ahead.

I saw Jim Lawson's Facebook a few days ago as he responded to my question if there were anymore "Dragonfly" books of his left to get and he told me yes. But I noticed other peoples postings, asking Jim about "Odyssey" and he said he did up to the pages he was paid for and that its still in the works on how it'll be completed. I'm assuming he meant for his art fee for the remaining pages? To me it didn't sound like Odyssey was gonna be done anytime soon and is certainly not completed. But I could be wrong too. It also sounded like Jim's going though an illness now or recently too.
