TMNT #10 Tease

[TomWaltz]

Hey, Friends!

Just a quick TMNT #10 teaser image before the weekend kicks off. Lots of cool action coming your way, and Karai and the Foot Clan are right smack dab in the middle of it all!

Take care!

Tom W.

[MikeandRaph87]

We see two different designs for the Foot Clan soldiers. I will assume there are different types like in the video games and in the 2003 cartoon among others just as it seems in the image?

[azrael]

Cant wait looks good! Will there be an official preview?

[Andrew NDB]

No. Not like the video games.

And #10 will be the third issue in a row we've seen the two different types of Foot Soldiers... where have you been?

[Powder]

I do like all of the new designs. High levels of badassery.

[MikeandRaph87]

Cant wait looks good! Will there be an official preview?

That would be great but probably another ten days. That is what sucks about comics. One every 30 days instead of 7 like for an episode on television. I am curious how the Foot divisons are this time. By weapon or a hiarchy?:shifty:

[Uki]

Thanks, Tom! (I'm a Thom too, but I have that "h" hangin' in there.) I'm loving this series!!!

[Toby Barrett]

I wonder which type of Foot is the higher rank? The classic Mirage Foot or the Foot that look as if they're only a step away from donning Shredder armor?

[CyberCubed]

I wonder which type of Foot is the higher rank? The classic Mirage Foot or the Foot that look as if they're only a step away from donning Shredder armor?

I think training to become Elite guards is more likely.

[Toby Barrett]

Not until I see a yellow foot soldier carrying an oversized boomerang.

I want one to appear so badly. ;__;

[Venom]

I wonder which type of Foot is the higher rank? The classic Mirage Foot or the Foot that look as if they're only a step away from donning Shredder armor?

Pertaining to... ? Are you comparing the IDW Foot to Mirage Foot?

In Mirage the normal "ninja-looking" Foot were common Foot soldiers, while the Shredder-looking ones with the large, round hats were members of the higher-ranking Shredder Elite Guard, and later the spindly ones with straw hats wer eFoot mystics, a separate rank.

[Toby Barrett]

I'm talking about the two different uniforms the Foot Ninja have been wearing in the current IDW comic, like the ones posted in the preview image in this very topic...

[Drose18]

Didnt Shredder look like a Mirage Foot Ninja in Leonardo Micro?

[Mona_Lisa]

:DNew dumb question…. Is there anyway to “Subscribe” to this comic…. There aren’t any comic stores in my area….:teek:

[Powder]

A few comic retailer sites will allow a mail subscription, I think. Try mycomicshop.com maybe.

[Lampy]

That would be great but probably another ten days. That is what sucks about comics. One every 30 days instead of 7 like for an episode on television. I am curious how the Foot divisons are this time. By weapon or a hiarchy?:shifty:

i'm guessing hierarchy... like different ranks of foot ninjas.
the sleeveless ninja look meaner and more skilled. i'm assuming they're of higher rank.

[TheCollector]

Surprised no one's mentioning how awesome Karai looks in this panel. That outfits quite nice, I especially like the red wrap around her entire midsection. Though I will say her body looks a little stretched.

[Kendamu]

I subscribed to it and the Color Classics through TFAW (http://www.tfaw.com/). You can add subscriptions in your account settings. If you subscribe, you'll get a discount you wouldn't have gotten had you just manually ordered it every month.

[Slap-Happy]

Didnt Shredder look like a Mirage Foot Ninja in Leonardo Micro?
What? There is absolutely no indication that that guy is the Shredder.

[Lampy]

could have been an updated Tatsu... ???
but pure speculation says it's Shredder.

[Jester]

I'd actually be really excited to see an IDW Tatsu.

[Lampy]

same here... i'm sure he'd be as much of a threat as Karai in IDW. Or maybe... Tatsu IS Karai's Daddy and Shredder's son..??!???!?!?! DUN DUN DUN!!!! Family tree completed!

[Venom]

same here... i'm sure he'd be as much of a threat as Karai in IDW. Or maybe... Tatsu IS Karai's Daddy and Shredder's son..??!???!?!?! DUN DUN DUN!!!! Family tree completed!

Shredder's "son" is one of those "lost tales" from Berger's Turtle's Letters that piqued my interest like no other back in the day.

[Drose18]

These comics are so awesome!

[Grimlock]

These comics are so awesome!

Yeah, they were awesome a year ago. Stop spamming.

[Jephael]

Good lord, I haven't even picked up #9 yet and we're already discussing #10! Lets all try to savor the moment here.

[Grimlock]

Good lord, I haven't even picked up #9 yet and we're already discussing #10! Lets all try to savor the moment here.

Huh, #9 came out a week ago. Issue #10 will be out in a few weeks. You're late. It's not too early to talk about it.

[Powder]

I'd actually be really excited to see an IDW Tatsu.

You're not alone, brother. Tatsu is a mad underappreciated character. He belongs in more than one universe. Gets my vote.

inb4 xav splits hairs and says Hyperstone Heist and the Mirage adaptions count as more than one

[Lampy]

Yea... i think he's underappreciated too. Tatsu is such an awesome character (why the heck is he so loyal to the shredder? fear?). i wish they would explore that.

back on track here... that picture of #10 makes me eager to read it already. GAHHH!!!

[Cowabunga Carl]

I'd actually be really excited to see an IDW Tatsu.

Me too man, me too.

I'm really excited for #10. I read Leo and #9 then wanted more. The left hanging feeling gets to you. Well it gets to me at least. I guess that is one thing this sereis is doing well, it leaves me wanting to come back month after month.

[Hermano Dyvas]

I'd actually be really excited to see an IDW Tatsu.

I was thinking this too and I'm glad a lot of people here seem to agree.

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if we'll see Hun, Tatsu, and Khan all working for the Shredder, along with Karai and the eventual Bebop and Rocksteady being mutated by the Foot. Then later on Rahzar and Tokka.

It'd be like all of Shredder's henchmen all together for the first time.

[Powder]

I think that would be really cool. So far this ultimate universe concept has fallen flat... That'd be a good way to fix things.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Cubed, I'd have to agree with you. I would be down for seeing the different henchmen Shredder has had working for this Shredder running different aspects of his empire in IDW.

[Marksenad]

I think it will be cool to see how Krang goes about losing Splinter, how he will react towards Baxter and if they will try and use Hob instead... All i know is too much suspense.

[Lampy]

I wonder if we'll see Hun, Tatsu, and Khan all working for the Shredder, along with Karai and the eventual Bebop and Rocksteady being mutated by the Foot. Then later on Rahzar and Tokka.

It'd be like all of Shredder's henchmen all together for the first time.

that would make this Shredder's Foot the best in any incarnation. I have to admit that reading that comment was like "ah... ahhh.... ahhhhh.... AHHHHH..." in amusement.:D

[BAXTER STOCKMAN 19]

I wonder if we'll see Hun, Tatsu, and Khan all working for the Shredder, along with Karai and the eventual Bebop and Rocksteady being mutated by the Foot. Then later on Rahzar and Tokka.

It'd be like all of Shredder's henchmen all together for the first time.

Τhis will never happen. Shredder has different henchmen in evry universe.

[ToTheNines]

Τhis will never happen. Shredder has different henchmen in evry universe.

Thanks for the info dude. How long have you been working for IDW, now?

[Zany Orange Dude]

I'd actually be really excited to see an IDW Tatsu.

Same here, I think he would be a really cool addition.

[Lampy]

Τhis will never happen. Shredder has different henchmen in evry universe.

hey... one can dream right? we already have Karai, Rocksteady, and Bebop. so...

[Redeemer]

Cubed, I'd have to agree with you. I would be down for seeing the different henchmen Shredder has had working for this Shredder running different aspects of his empire in IDW.

Now this I could get behind :tcool:

[AcidBurn30]

Sweeeettttt!!!

[Toby Barrett]

Oh god, that's one thing I absolutely LOVED about the old video games! It didn't matter which incarnation the character was from, whether it was Bebop and Rocksteady from the cartoons, Tatsu from the first movie, or Tokka and Rahzar from SoTO, everyone and everything from all versions of the Turtles worked for Shredder!

And that is definately something I'd love to see in this comic! ;)

[CyberCubed]

I would love to see Karai, Pimiko, Lady Shredder, and Lotus Blossom all working together as a female assassin quartet.

[TomWaltz]

Tease Part 2! Last tease for issue #10, friends -- anything else would be a SPOILER! See you when the issue releases on May 30th!

Tom W.

[CyberCubed]

Shredder seems almost demonic. I really wonder if he's human.

[Grimlock]

Shredder seems almost demonic. I really wonder if he's human.

I'm not getting any demonic vibes from his appearance...?

[Kendamu]

I had a theory about Shredder since he's the only character I remember having no pupils so far, but then I looked back on Page 1 of this thread and saw that his whole damn army is the same way.

[MikeandRaph87]

Who is up for Captain Tragg versus Karai?:tgrin: Sounds awesome! Hope we get to see that soon.

[Andrew NDB]

I'm not getting any demonic vibes from his appearance...?

Maybe "Shredder" is like a possessive entity that travels from host to host... which would explain how he's still alive now.

Man, I just hope they keep Shredder human.

[Redeemer]

Tease Part 2! Last tease for issue #10, friends -- anything else would be a SPOILER! See you when the issue releases on May 30th!

Tom W.

You sob stop teasing us!!!!! :D
Cant wait for this next issue, I thought issue 9 was going to be an awesome climax, but ten looks like its going to take the cake

[Xav]

Maybe "Shredder" is like a possessive entity that travels from host to host... which would explain how he's still alive now. That sounds like the Shredder Tengu from the 4Kids series.

[Plasticplayhouse]

Can't wait :D

[chris350]

I'm loving this series to far, its an awesome blend of all the mythos.

[DarkLightDragon]

Man, I just hope they keep Shredder human.


I recall Tom confirming Shredder will be human.

[ToTheNines]

I recall Tom confirming Shredder will be human.

He said he wouldn't be an Utrom. Still a wide variety of other things he could be.

[Toby Barrett]

Maybe he's held together by worms.

[Jephael]

I never thought much of it before, but I find it ironic that the worm clone idea is more acceptable than him being an Utrom.

[Grimlock]

I never thought much of it before, but I find it ironic that the worm clone idea is more acceptable than him being an Utrom.

Most likely because it was in Mirage first so therfor it is automatically better.:roll:

[Toby Barrett]

I still think tying in the Foot Mystics being responsible for his living centuries would be the coolest option.

[MikeandRaph87]

Most likely because it was in Mirage first so therfor it is automatically better.:roll:

I would have to agrue that point. It has always been the Other Media for me when it comes to TMNT. The clone worm concept while out there can be overlooked and still think "hey its Shredder" and the plot moves forward with an alive Shredder. With the Ch'rell concept to me just like The Slayer and its not really him. Its a whole different character instead of a human supervillain that is goes by the alias The Shredder but just a character that is using the Shredder's name. The clone worm simply can overlooked and the plot moves forward with the same old Shredder. Andrew and I disagree on pretty much everything but this would be a GREAT way to have The Shredder be around for centuries and remain human with reincarnation not involved. I can completely see it within the realm of possibliity basing it on what we have seen so far.

[Xav]

Τhis will never happen. Shredder has different henchmen in evry universe. Not really almost all his henchmen have appeared in at least two or more universes. You got Bebop and Rocksteady in Fred Wolf, Archie, and now IDW. Stockman in Fred Wolf, Archie, 4Kids and Dreamwave. Tokka and Razhar in the movies and Turtles Forever. Hun in 4Kids and Dreamwave. Karai in 4Kids and now IDW. The Elite, Shredder Clones, and Foot Mystics in both Mirage and 4Kids.

[Grimlock]

Good for you. I was being sarcastic.

[Candy Kappa]

I never thought much of it before, but I find it ironic that the worm clone idea is more acceptable than him being an Utrom.

I'd rather see a different take on the worms idea, then rehash Ch'rell.


And IDW already got one badguy Brain in Jar/Utrom thingie

[CyberCubed]

Why do people keep mentioning Ch'rell when its confirmed he isn't an Utrom?

That being said I wouldn't mind Ch'rell showing up later on a different capacity, he doesn't have to be Shredder.

[Jester]

That being said I wouldn't mind Ch'rell showing up later on a different capacity, he doesn't have to be Shredder.
As one of Krang's other, non-Stone Warrior lieutenants?

[ToTheNines]

That being said I wouldn't mind Ch'rell showing up later on a different capacity, he doesn't have to be Shredder.

That would be wild. I really hope they do that now.

[CyberCubed]

As one of Krang's other, non-Stone Warrior lieutenants?

Nah. If they introduce the Utroms, later on you could see Ch'rell leading a batch of evil Utrom cultists, like those evil Utroms you saw in Tales V. 2.

Remember Ch'rell only took over Shredder's identity when he was on Earth. Before that he was a ruthless war criminal who terrorized as an Utrom.

[Jester]

I dunna, I wouldn't mind a sniviling, Starscream-esque Ch'rell. A lieutenant who would love to take command of Krang's operation...or...maybe he could be ABOVE Krang.

As to the whole Torrinon, Kako Naso, Duke Acureds stuff, THAT would have made an awesome episode of the 4kids series. One of the biggest missed opportunities of the series.*

*Great, now I have the germ of an idea for a new 4kids thread...if it hasn't been done already

[Keldor1578]

As one of Krang's other, non-Stone Warrior lieutenants?

No just no, Ch'rell is a bigger threat, krang is the one that need to be Ch'rell's lieutenant.

[Toby Barrett]

This however, is the IDW series. Nobody HAS to be anything. If they want Krang to be above Ch'rell, then they can very well do that.

[Candy Kappa]

yeah, past incarnation don't have to mean two craps in a new version.

And IDW Krang is way more charismatic then 4Kids Ch'rell could ever muster :P

[Toby Barrett]

A thought just occured to me. When the turtles storm the Foot Lair, what does everyone think the chances are of Alopex making her return, along with a mutated Rocksteady and Bebop?

I'm thinking relatively high...

[Keldor1578]

This however, is the IDW series. Nobody HAS to be anything. If they want Krang to be above Ch'rell, then they can very well do that.

You are right, But i would hated if IDW decided to bring ch'rell and make him Krang's lackey.

[Cowabunga Carl]

Ch'rell would make a great lackey for Krang. The whole Starscream idea actually make sense too. It would be fun to see that little slug show up again but a little bit neutered.

[Redeemer]

What if ch'rll was a rebel leader/fighter for the nutrino's ??????? This would be pretty bad ass or what if Krang and Ch'rll's brother????? I dont know I would only like to see ch'rll if the can make good use of his character....... Other wise I wouldn't miss him too much

[MikeandRaph87]

I thought it would be cool if General Blanque was the dictator of the Neutrinos. It just seems to work better than Chr'ell. The idea of Chr'ell and Krang interacting at more even level opposed to that brief bit in the Turtles Forever in the enlarged bodysuits might work but I hope Chr'ell is stuck in the 2003 cartoon iteration.

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

I can't find this available for pre-order anywhere yet.

[TheDancingFetus]

I can't find this available for pre-order anywhere yet.

Someone on another post recommended this site for pre-orders. Currently they are taking pre-orders for 10 and 11.

Pre-Order TMNT #10 (http://www.tfaw.com/Profile/Teenage-Mutant-Ninja-Turtles-10___402682)

[Killer Moth]

Maybe "Shredder" is like a possessive entity that travels from host to host... which would explain how he's still alive now.

Man, I just hope they keep Shredder human.

Great, now he's "Final Friday" Jason Voorhees. In which case, make Shredder an unkillable worm-created zombie, and double bonus.

Anyway, Ch'rell vs. Krang would be awesome, but they should be equals. Because I can't buy one serving the other with their respective egos. However, the idea of someone higher-up than Krang in Dimension X is appealing..., and reminds me of Lord Zedd to Krang's Rita Repulsa before he turned Al Bundy. Then again, that was what Dregg was originally for.

20 days or less, now.

[Mona_Lisa]

Thanks to all for answering my question!!!!

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

:DNew dumb question…. Is there anyway to “Subscribe” to this comic…. There aren’t any comic stores in my area….:teek:

Where in NC are you? I've got three or four of them within a 30 mile radius of me. I still buy online.

[Samhain]

I wonder which type of Foot is the higher rank? The classic Mirage Foot or the Foot that look as if they're only a step away from donning Shredder armor?

I'm guessing the bug eyes ninja's are the highest rank. With the hooded-sleevless ninja's just below them. That's at least what I think after reading the Leo Micro.

[Mona_Lisa]

:D I live in Old Fort.... Very, very small :D

[ToTheNines]

I thought the opposite.

[CyberCubed]

I guess Hun will make his appearance this issue or the next.

[Samhain]

I guess Hun will make his appearance this issue or the next.

Bobby said it was going to be either Hun OR the Purple Dragons. Why are you assuming it's Hun and passing off that as a fact?

[Toby Barrett]

Because he's CyberCubed, he knows everything.

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

Is there a preview up yet?

[Grimlock]

Is there a preview up yet?

There won't be a preview until tuesday.

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

Oh, so this is coming out NEXT week. And here this whole time I thought it was coming out this week. Oh well. :trolleye:

[CyberCubed]

This issue feels like its been an unsually long wait for, for some reason.
