Where are the prequel comics?!?!
 

Am I missing something or is Mirage like a month behind? I just got my tales with Casey on the cover, and according to ninjaturtles.com the 3rd prequel comic should have come out today, however, my shop is yet to even get the first one.

Anyone know what is going on?

They're pushed back to next week.

Well as long as they all come out before the movie, hence them being prequels... :roll:

awwww good old Mirage always late hahah:lol: it feels just like the old days!

some of them will come after the movie...I believe it is #5 that will be after the movie.

Thanks
 

Thanks. At least I know my comic shop isn't behind.

I just checked out Diamond comics shipping list and didn't see them listed. Where did you hear that they were coming out next week?

from Jake Black's blog...he is the writer of the first two. He is a member of 'drome.

Its typical Mirage that, being late!!! Their moto was, after all, "If its not late, its not Mirage!"


It woulda been nice to read all these BEFORE I saw the film, but it looks like it aint gonna happen!!!


oh well...

I'm appalled when I think about how late Tales #32 is.

With all due respect, everybody at Mirage, whether staffer or freelancer, work like crazy to get all the books out on time, so pse. take it easy dude :roll:

This is one of the reasons i don't do forums, but my good friend Nathan convinced me to register so here i am! :ohwell:

Oh, i think Tales Vol.2 TPB is out already, have you read it yet? :D

Don't worry Diego, we totally understand that you guys are doing your best to get the books out. We're only having fun with the addage that Mirage's books have been late quite reguarly ever since the company was formed. ;)

Sorry Diego, I didn't mean to offend! I honestly don't mind that much, I was playing up to the "If its not late, its not Mirage" which was after all, their own motto back in the day!! I did write "It woulda been nice..." and not "RIGHT! I AM REALLY P*SSED OFF WITH MIRAGE..." because I know its still quite a small company with a hell of alot on their shoulders, and I respect everyone that works there for working their asses off for fanboys (and girls!) like me! I meant my post to be light hearted.

And yeah, of course I picked up Tales vol 2 TPB! How could I not, that panel to panel guys have got me hooked with all these signed bookplates!

dude look at mirages history we love and suport them and they have always been late no one really cares cause they bring out good stuff we're just having a bit of fun. :)

Oh, good...At least there's a chance that the local comic book shops around here might get some copies. So, when are they officially due out now?

Maybe this week.

You make it sound as if i was holding a gun to your head haha:P . I havent seen either TPB's here, so i may have to wait and get 'em at Heroes this year.

We know you guys work hard to get those out on time, and i honestly would rather them be a little late as opposed to never comming out at all. Thats how i look at it :) .


Also just looked at the shipping lists for this week(seems the same as yesterday, so they may not have updated it yet) but their still not on the lists. Will just have to check tommorow or call wed. afternoon.

If anyone finds these puppies, be sure to post the news. I'll wait until I get confirmation before making the trek to the comic shops downtown.

Mikey and Raph's prequels are out this week. I just checked the shipping lists a few minutes ago and their on there.

JAN073756 TMNT MOVIE PREQUEL 1 RAPHAEL $3.25
JAN073757 TMNT MOVIE PREQUEL 2 MICHELANGELO $3.25

So, tomorrow afternoon I have to go a mile to pick them up.

they come out on wed. March 28th not today I was just at the comic shop and bought a bunch of old comics I needed before the movie hits just incase they try and raise the prices.:D

Next week??? But I thought that it was shown that they are coming out on March 21st according to the list and Raphaelprime.

well I went they aren't out why would I lie I have nothing to achieve by it I want them as badly as everyone else.

Well, I'll see if any of them are out tomorrow when I go to the comics shop. I was kind of waiting to get them all at once to read a couple days before the film. It'll really suck in NONE of them are out yet. BTW what week is Tales supposed to come out? Or is that gonna be late too?

I'm telling you nothing came out this week I just got home from the comic book store new books come out here on wed. shesh when have I ever lied to anyone on here...I'm trying to save you guys gas money and a pointless trip.

The Tales book is already several weeks late.

I'm confused, Putrescent-- if books come out today (Weds.) and you went yesterday, why do you not think they are coming out this week?

Yeah, that's confusing me too. He says he was "just at the shop", but the time-notation of his post would mean-- either he had gone like hours beforehand, or this shop was open late at night (which they're usually not, from what I've known at least).

Well, see today anyhow. The shop I go to opens at 1PM, so I won't know til go to it around then.

the guy at the comic shop I was at yesterday *tuesday* told no the books come out next wed. not this wed. but hey go out hunt for them be my guest.:)

Well, my comic book store is like a five minute walk from here, and I personally believe those books are coming out today because I think Jake would have been alerted and given us a heads up if they weren't.

We'll see. We should have placed bets and then the loser could have paid the winner via PayPal. ;)

Can I get in on that action? The books will be out today. If your comic shop didn't order them, then they won't get them today, but they ARE hitting stores nationwide (and for our friends in the Great White North, too) today.

Thank you for the news good sir. :)

Back from my comic shop trip, and among my haul did get the 2 TMNT Movie Prequels!

It's really too bad you didn't, because you [and I] were right: the books came out. I picked up three copies because I'm providing comics for two women in the fandom. My comic book store still has two copies of both books, they're a little banged up around the corners but still in great reading condition. If anyone on these boards who lives in the U.S. doesn't have access to a comic store, and would like me to reserve these for them, you need to let me know right away so that I can have him take them off the shelf, and a quick PayPal payment (after I have verified for you that the books were still there and I was able to reserve them) needs to follow ($5.00 for one book, $9.00 for both).

By the way, Jake, I can't wait to read these. They look absolutely awesome.

Here's hoping that the next two (or three) come out next week.

Contact me via PM or at [email protected]

dammit I want to go get these but all the comic shops around me just closed up because the dude that owns them cant stay away from meth! Dammit!

It's looking like the next three (and possibly the Movie Adapt.) won't be out next week, but the following. A little up in the air at this point...but we DO have 1 and 2, so hopefully those can tide us over until the following week.

Well I got mine today! And I be in the UK, yar!

The Raph one is top notch, shows how he gets the suit and whatnot, and just a little bit violent... (not too bad though...) Plus, there's some very nice special guests at the very start, heck I don't wanna sequel to the new movie, I wanna prequel!! Or at least more comics set in the new movie world!!!

The Mikey one was pretty cool too, it was ace to see Mikey, Don and Casey interacting. The artwork though, i'm sorry to say, it just didn't gel with me. I just think it coulda benefited more with a different artist...

And yeah, I see what you mean CJJohn about 'em being a bit banged up, my Raph one's fine but the Mikey one has a big scratch down the center, and I think they were all like that. Anyhoo, going to another comic store tomorrow, this one I have a standing order with for a buncha books, including TMNT. So hopefully the Mikey one'll be in a bit better condition. (I buy two of each book if I get the chance, one to read, and the other to keep, as I hate getting marks, fingerprints, etc on em!!)

I don't get mine til friday when i go out to Raleigh:( Plus i dont think the store here will have them unpacked til around 6:30 or 7.

And putrecent, couple things coulda happened when you went yest. 1, it was tuesday :P 2, the shipping list didnt get updated til yesterday anyway, so maybe the guy at your shop looked on monday and it wasnt there, and hadnt checked the update made yesterday.

But...you actually did!!! Just kidding! :lol:

Good to hear the prequels are finally out...can't wait to see the official movie adaptation in PRINT!

:)

nice that the damn comic shop guy lied to me...hey but what else is new...not gonna compliment him on being the only store to get tmnt anymore..basterd.

I got mine today...they were not all beat up but in mint condition. The comic book guy only order 2 copies of each issue...one for me and one set for another guy that has a long-term subscription with TMNT comics.
