Tom Waltz (W), Kevin Eastman (W/VC), Michael Dialynas (A/C), Jody Edwards (VC)

Bah humbug! When Splinter forgets the true meaning of the holidays, it takes a visit from the Turtles of Christmas Past, Present and Future to remind him that nothing is as important as family.

• A look into the past, present, and future helps Splinter see what matters most.

Raphael is pushed to his breaking point as he is separated from his brothers and forced to endure an onslaught from the nefarious Bishop unlike anything he has experienced in the past!

• Oversized action from TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman, who scripts and does layouts, with inks by Ben Bishop!
• An important turning point for Raphael that will have long-lasting repercussions!

Matthew K. Manning (W), Chad Thomas (A/VC), Andy Suriano (C)

To catch a mutant kidnapper sometimes means... getting kidnapped?! When the Turtles lay a trap to lure their latest mystery villain out into the open, they find themselves biting off more than they can chew.

• Overseen by showrunners Andy Suriano (Cosmic Scoundrels) and Ant Ward!



TMNT Urban Legends #08

http://www.comicscontinuum.com/stories/1809/19/urbanlegends8.jpg

The search for Casey Jones' daughter continues, bringing to light new, startling truths. As the strain on the Turtles and their family grows, a determined Mikey takes matters into his own hands... but will he be able to escape a showdown with the mob?!

• The entire TMNT Volume 3 run-all 23 issues-reprinted in full color for the first time!

I'm guessing this means we won't be getting horrible tone whiplash from the ending of Battle Lines, won't we :lol: ? Would probably come more from the Macro issue...

All things considered though...Splinter IS very much in tune with his human incarnation, he wouldn't be celebrating Christmas at all anyway given the time he was living in Japan.

It should be cool to see how they go over the past, present, and future though.

Heckin love that old storybook look of the cover though! Super cute. It'll be great to get another Christmas story before the next year starts throttling us for the next ten issues with the insanity that will be 90-100.

Another Christmas story? Really? :tgrumble:

[miru]

I think this is the franchise’s first take on “A Christmas Carol” since Mirage.

[spookycookies]

Look Splinter can't take in all those orphans and not give them Christmas...

[MikeandRaph87]

So at least 13 months in IDW's timeline would have passed since Darius Dunn was put down. So how long will it have been by #89 since #50?

Kevin Eastman does a story with Agent Bishop? Its cool seeing an original creator use a character created in the other media.

Update: Added a new cover for the Raph Macro (Brown cover)

[Shargor]

Soooo who is doing art for “A Christmas Carol” issue?

• Dave Wachter (as it's stated here)
• Mateus Santolouco (as it's stated on Cover B)
• Michael Dialynas (as it's stated on Bleeding Cool (https://www.bleedingcool.com/2018/09/19/new-avengers-1-idw-december-2018-solicitations/))

It's confusing.

I asked myself the same question. Cover A is Dialynas so it's probably him. Santolouco just made a variant cover I guess. I will update that. Thanks.

Edit : I added a cover for Rise of the TMNT 04. It seems that Jody Edwards made the variant cover for issue 89 so I don't know for Santolouco...

"Idea and Design Works"

So THAT"S what the acronym stands for!

It's probably a different artist for "Past", "Present", and "Future"...

[MikeandRaph87]

This is the only concept that would make sense.

[CyberCubed]

So the Raph macro is the first Kevin Eastman scripted issue since the two annuals? I hope this is much better.

[Michael Dialynas]

Love the confusion :P

I just finished drawing the whole #89 issue but the different artist on different periods would have been a cool idea.

We can at least be optimistic about the layouts being dynamic and exciting. His scripting isn’t my favorite but he does capture the tone of the turtles personality perfectly, which I can always appreciate.

So you're the artist on this issue. Thanks for the confirmation. Glad to see you again on TMNT (after the Mikey macro :tgrin:)
