TMNT Volume 4 #3 hits comic shelves today...

[Mike]

...but I'm going tommorrow to pick it up. Can't wait to read it! It's extra long, but the same price!

[HorseTechie]

Whhoo yeah, can't wait either. Though it may not be until Friday until I can get it. *nyarly finals

[azure turtle]

Me want comic! I wish Mirage would start taking orders already...

[tekcop]

i stopped in at my local comic book store after school and got it this morning, along with captain america #1 and essential hulk volume one.

hey, now we know that the cover at mile high comics is real. and... uh... does anyone know what that thing in pages 6 & 7 is?

[Kali]

*grumbles about not having a comic book store in her area* I have to wait for Mirage too.

[Mike]

Yea, now I have to wait until Friday to get it...poo....

[coolmike1586]

I GOT ISSUE THREE I THOUGHT I WOULD INFORM THIS SECTION TOO! sorry i am jus so pumped to read it! and how come they are advertising for 2 comics ahead instead of just one? i seen that the are already wrokin on number 5

[azure turtle]

I don't have mine yet :sad: But I did get my 13 Archies in the mail today! Woohoo! I can't believe I missed out on so much.

[Machias Banshee]

which ones didja get?!?!?!

[azure turtle]

Umm... #3-16, but the auction didn't have #15 or #1. I have #2, so I almost have all of the first 16 issues.

[Machias Banshee]

cool. You got any of the special miniseries types?

[azure turtle]

Not yet. I'm working on it, though. Hopefully, I'll have plenty of comics by summer time :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

cool....Yeah, if you ever get the chance, get the blindsight series as well as the five or six issues before it, its really good...

[azure turtle]

I've heard of Blindsight...man, it's a daunting task to collect all of these comics (not to mention an expensive one), but I hope to complete my collection! I've only started, so I've got a long road ahead..

[Machias Banshee]

Yeah, but you know what they say, "Good things are worth waiting for..."

[azure turtle]

Very true :smile:

[Loolaa]

I loved the Archie series so much. That series just got better and better with each issue. I loved it when they were travelling through the world, doing intergalactic wrestling, time travelling, space travelling... inter dimensional traveling using giant cow heads... *sai* Those were the days...

*cough*
Anyway, I'm off to get the new comic tonight after work. It's an hours bus journey to Liverpool so it's gonna be a race against time to get there before the store closes.. :eek:
Keep your finger crossed for me...?

Loolaa ^_^

[azure turtle]

Oh, I know whatcha mean, Loolaa! The Archies do get better with each issue. And I love the way Ken Mitchroney draws the TMNT. It's awesome!

Good luck getting the newest comic, Loolaa!
*crosses his fingers*

[Machias Banshee]

Ahhh, the Archies....My favorite of the verses. They finally made Splinter tall! I love the way theyre drawn as well, they look so hot. :goofygri:

[HorseTechie]

*clears throat Tatsu style as off-topic Foot Soliders surround you guys*

:neutral:

[Machias Banshee]

*finds herself surrounded by off-topic ninjas*

Erm....I hope the new issue is just as good as the archies! *cringes in fear*

[Mike]

I was always ofraid of the Archie serie. Archie just has a tendency to screw things up. The Image series rocked though! that was pretty hard core. I got the comic just now, and I'm about to go read it.

[Machias Banshee]

Archie was a lot better than Image in my own opinion. Image just mangled and pretty much tried to kill them all off...Archie Never did anything too cruel to them, other than all the stuff poor Michaelangelo went through... :sad:

[Loolaa]

Eeek! That Tatsu 'ngh' scares me! I hope you're not frowning and looking menacing too... :0

Okay.. back on topic.. I got my comic! Yippee!! And it's great... of course... but I won't go into detail for those of you who haven't got it yet....
*attempts to restrain herself*
...must tell....but can't...
*runs off*

Loolaa :wink:

[Mike]

It was good, but personally I like the first two better.

[azure turtle]

*fends off the Foot Soldiers with his katana*
Wooh, congrats, Loolaa! I hope to find my issue tomorrow. I don't know if any of you have heard of this, but the Festival of Books is being held at UCLA tomorrow and Sunday, with lots of authors (400, to be exact), celebrities, and special appearances by bands and the mayor of LA himself. It's gonna be fun!! I already know where the comics booth is, so I've created a plan of attack for tomorrow morning...I hope they have TMNT #3 in stock!! And from the summaries I've read about both the Image and Archies series, I think I like Archies better...

[Loolaa]

I like the new 3rd issue better than the 1st issue... but I didn't get the second :'( so I don't know about that...

And I agree the Archies were better than Image. I got all the Image issues but I wasn't very fond of them... as my pic on HT's site demonstrates!

Loolaa

[azure turtle]

Heh heh...I like that pic, Loolaa!
Ooh, I just got issue #3 at the Festival of Books! Kevin Eastman was slated to do signings, but he didn't show up due to a parking problem (damn!!), but a lady working at the booth told me he'd do signings tomorrow. I'm definitely going back there tomorrow! This may be my only chance of meeting him.... btw, my letter got published in issue #3. :grin:

[Loolaa]

Congrats on getting issue 3... and WOW how lucky are you if you get to see Kevin today!??!

*eyes Azure jealously*

Heheh only kidding, I really hope you get to meet him... and get stuff signed... and pics and... everything... :grin:
I've got my fingers crossed for ya..:smile:

..now how do I make my breakfast with my fingers like this...?

Loolaa ^_^

[Machias Banshee]

heheh, thats what microwaves are for....

Man, i hope i can get an issue. I really want to know what happens...

[azure turtle]

LOL!! Well, you don't have to be jealous any more, Loolaa. Kevin Eastman couldn't make it today, either. *sigh* And I had my heart set on meeting one half of the TMNT creators. Oh well, maybe next year.

Oy Machias! Issue 3 is so awesome...you need to get your hands on it! So much plot is explained, yet there's a cliff hanger at the end. I'm getting all antsy wondering what's gonna happen next.

[Kali]

I need to e-mail Dan and ask if they're still taking snail mail orders, since they didn't update the comic books page this week.

[azure turtle]

I was gonna ask Dan the same thing. I wanted to buy a second copy (since my letter was printed and all...), but the booth at the festival sold out! I don't see it as a bad thing, though...it's just proof that the TMNT are still going strong :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

what happens? I wanna know even if its a spoiler!!!
*bats eyes at Azure, and makes pouty face at him too*

[azure turtle]

Uh uh...I'm not telling. Patience, child...the comic will be worth it if you don't know what happens first.

[Kali]

Make a new topic with a spoiler warning if you do. But I wanna hear it too.

[Machias Banshee]

*whimpers at Azure like a puppy* Pwetty pwease Azure? Pweeeeaaaaasssseeeee........?

[azure turtle]

I can't believe you both want to know about what happens...okay, I'll consider making a new spoiler thread...

[Machias Banshee]

Thanke you! *hugs Azure* I know i'm not gonna be able to get it no matter how i try, so that's why i want to find out from everyone what happens...

[Loolaa]

Sorry you didn't get to meet Kevin, Azure. Hopefully you will one day! :smile:

Awwwwww.. Machias how come you can't get issue 3?!


Loolaa

[azure turtle]

Ya...I hope to meet him someday! Maybe if I can go to the comic con in San Diego...maybe.
*sigh*

[HorseTechie]

heheh.. oh yeah, I think Machias would love how the comic opens... and then an insight on one of SPlinter's pastimes.

*very subtle spoiler hints*

Then they aired Armaggedon on TV this weekend, and a trailer for a new movie that also reminded me of this comic.

But Azure.. dude! You missed Kevin by a hair? :sad: Wow... but it was still great news to hear fo the event you went to, that enabled ya to get the comic. O course, Kevin will say it's really Laird's comic.

I accidentally had an Image #1 in the handful of comics I had kevin sign last year. He made a crass comment wondering why that was included in the stack, but signed it anyway. :goofygri:

[azure turtle]

Ya, it's too bad he canceled...I was worried about what I could have him sign, since all I had with me were those Image comics, the new Mirage comics, and some Archies. I had nothing that he worked on. I was hoping he could just sign one of those cardboard slips and maybe even sketch a turtle. Ah well. Maybe I'll run into him later on in life :smile:

[HorseTechie]

Oh yeah, Kevin would definately do a comic-card backing sketch, if nothing else!

Maybe if all goes well, you could go to the SanD con too! :grin:

[Machias Banshee]

I wish they held cons in the Eastern US... :sad: *pout* I'd love to see the guys from my hometown...

[azure turtle]

Ooh, he would?! I'd love to get a sketch from him! That'd be so awesome...

And Machias, I believe there's supposed to be a big con in Detroit, but I don't know too much about it. I think HT's got the rundown on it, though.

[Saisei]

Anyone know of any big events anywhere around Atlanta? It kinda bites that all the major cons are across the country from my place...

[azure turtle]

Atlanta? Hmm...I don't know. Sorry Saisei, but I don't know too much about all of the comic cons :sad: Did you try searching on Google? You might find something there.

BTW, I just want to let everyone know that Mirage is accepting snail mail orders for issue #3. Dan hasn't updated the comic books section, but he has updated the "Buy Stuff" section. Click on that link, and you'll be able to find issue #3, just waiting to be purchased. Hope that helps :smile:

[HorseTechie]

Hrmm.. there's a website that lists all the cons in the area. The east coast and the midwest has cons too. It's just that the San D ones attracts all the big names. It's like a hit and miss thig with the smaller ones. *sai*

The Detorit Motor City is held in may 17-20. But what's got me upset, is that Indianapolis is for once having a big Star Wars convention while I'm gone! :sad:

[azure turtle]

Star Wars con? And you won't be there to attend? Bummer. But hey, you're going to Korea. Not too many people get that kind of opportunity :wink:

[Machias Banshee]

*whimper* Detroit!? *whimper* But that's in Michigan! *whimper*

[azure turtle]

Well...it is closer than California... :sad:

[Machias Banshee]

Hmmm, maybe if they held one in Boston...

~Yay! Everybodies here! :grin: ~

[Kali]

Yay! I finally put out my order for the third book. Shouldn't be too long before I get my hands on it.

[azure turtle]

*happy dance*
That's awesome news, Kali!

[Kali]

Okay, I FINALLY got the issue! But hey, it was really worth the wait. Lots of stuff going on, as many of you know. *squeal* I wanna know what's gonna happen. And I wanna see who leads the Foot now, and what the Utroms are really doing on Earth.

[azure turtle]

Woah, you just received it now? I guess Mirage has gotten really busy ever since the new comic started, and with the news of the cartoon, I think they'll just get busier. I'm glad you got it, Kali! Now you may relish in its goodness :grin:

[Mike]

"And I wanna see who leads the Foot now, and what the Utroms are really doing on Earth."

The foot? WTF? They werent in there...

[azure turtle]

I think Kali's referring to one of the letters at the end of the comic. Peter Laird has said that the Foot Clan will be returning...and I think it's going to be in the next issue, but I'm not sure.

[Kali]

Uh, yeah, I was referring to what was going to happen in the next issue. Peter said the Foot would be returning.

And the reason I just got it today, was because the site didn't update the comic page that week, remember? Scanner troubles. So I waited a week, then finally e-mailed Dan to see if they were indeed still taking orders. It took just over two weeks to get here from when I sent my check, pretty good time, actually.

[azure turtle]

Oh, okay. I thought you ordered shortly after you posted a few weeks ago. My bad. Mirage does take an average of two weeks to get comics in your mailbox, but when I ordered TMNT #1, in came in about a week. I was pretty amazed at that.
