Smash-Up Comic

[Smithguy789]

I recently dug up my Wii copy of TMNT: Smash-Up and read the Jim Lawson comic that came packaged with it. The comic is the beginning of the story mode for the game, but it ends on a "to be continued..." I looked up the story mode animation (I no longer have a working Wii) and the whole story has Jim Lawson art. So, my question is, has the rest of this art ever seen the light of day? Is there half of a Jim Lawson TMNT comic floating in the ether somewhere?

In cases like those 'to be continued' means 'play the game'. It's similar to the old Mortal Kombat comic that was advertised on the arcade machine. The story ends just as the tournament begins... your cue to drop a quarter.

That's what I'd assume. There really wouldn't be any reason for them to pay Jim to do MORE comics.

I still have my copy of that short comic in perfect condition. If someone offered me $1000 I'd sell it.

I bought a used copy of the Wii version awhile back for like 7 bucks. I didn't even know that it originally came with a comic.I thought it was a pretty fun game for the price that I got it. I remember that I wasn't able to fully complete the game because there was this absolutely terrible event match that involved throwing the enemy/enemies but the throw system sucked. I don't remember the event match too well, I just remember not being able to beat it. I did beat the game though, I just didn't fully complete it.

What the OP is trying to say is that the comic from the instruction manual or whatever is "continued" in the video game story. The video game has cinematics that clearly have Jim Lawson art. What he wants to know if that artwork Lawson did for the video game has ever been released somehow.
Like maybe the sketches were sold or whatever since it clearly wasn't made into a comic you could buy or they gave away, those sketches were made for the video game only. BUT they exist since they were made so is that art anywhere online.
