TMNT vol 4 issue 29
 

Tomarrow is when they'll be announcing when it comes out. But first the cover (also can be seen on Murphy's blog):

Looky! It's Casey and Fugitoid (drinking beer! ) and some Utroms (one of which is smoking) and various other aliens.. and a cover price of $10. I bet those Utroms are drinking Cranberry Juice (which effects em like alcahol). Boy Im glad I can get that on wowio...

Well, it depends on how big the comic is. If it's $10 worth of pages, then I'll be super-happy. I'll be getting them on Wowio and in print either way, though.

Ah, and cool cover too. ;) I can't wait to read it.

Well, I guess I've put off making an account with Wowio long enough.

Ya, I guess I might as well too...but it's really not the same. Reading a comic online is just lame compared to actually owning it. Hopefully they start dishing out some big $10 worth issues.

But you do own it if you download it from online. They even put your name on one of the front pages so if you send out copies all across the internet, they'll know whose account to ban. ;)

Yeah that's true. I feel that buying comics online messes up the tradition of actually going to the comic book shop and buying it yourself. I like mine paper-real :P But wow, 10 bucks for the upcoming issue. I'm willing to cough up some cash up for it, i haven't read a vol. 4 issue in a while and I hope its worth the buy.

Has it been said how many pages the issue is? $10 for a 30 page comic is definitely not something I'll do.

I have hope that it will be a good size. $10 worth..we'll have to see, but the a lot of ninja turtle comics hit even the 50 page mark.

Steve says that only 100 issues will be released for $10 and that they'll be autographed by Peter Laird. Otherwise you have no choice but to download it off Wowio. But they still will probably also put it on ninjaturtles.com for those not able to get Wowio.

As excited as I am that this is finally being released, I think I will only read it through Wowio.

And Casey ages very very well. I wonder what is the secret to his youthfulness. Somehow I do not think he is a health nut.

Wow, Casey has a nose! Either Lawson put more care into the cover, or Dooney was thoughtful enough to give Casey a face.

Either way, it looks nice and is pretty cool. I still think Mirage should switch to a print-on-demand model, by putting the heads-up on their website of how much X amount of books will cost to print, take X amount of orders for said books, and print 'em! Surely the order would be filled from the comic shops that carry the title and by us fans who order direct.

Anyway, long live the TMNT, and may I be 50 before the price jumps to $20 bucks a book.

Finally!!!! Being unable to see em online or buy the issue myself, someone better give me a detailed play-by-play whenever they get/download that issue . :)

The cover, at the very least, looks a lot better than the B+W Lawson-only preview at the end of 28.

Any bets on what the story will encompass?

I'm psyched. I've been re-reading the entire Vol. 4 on Wowio. I'm fully wrapped up in the story. I'm dying for an on-going TMNT series. Individual stand alone tales just don't cut it for me.

Dooney always makes everything look good, I wish he'd draw comics but he's to busy designing toys.

Edit: never mind then, I guess I'll have to go after one of those 100 issues.

V4.29 is up for order on the turtles homepage for those who are interested. Note: You don't need a Paypal account to order it. The site uses Paypal, but you can pay via credit/debit without creating a Paypal account.

It seems the issue is only 40 pages afterall, but if I understood the site correctly, it looks like Pete is actually drawing a huge turtle head on the inside cover of each of the first 100 issues and signing it. In other words, it's not just a drawing that they copied 99 times and Pete just signed them all.

So if you really want one, you'd better sign up quick because I'm sure the first 100 issues will disappear fast.

Aye. There's a pic on ninjaturtles.com of Pete signing one of the books. Foreigners can order it as well. It's been uploaded on Wowio, which means it'll be available for download by Wednesday (Wowio uploads new stuff Wed - Sat)!!! They'll also be posting the issue on ninjaturtles.com next week!!! :o

I just got home from work and saw this and ordered one...I'm probably waaay late for one of the first one hundred though....

Don't worry. Pete might make more

Do you think my comic book shop can order this issue?

Possibly. If the person working has a computer and you give him the money he might be able to order it for you... but I'm basing this off the experience of martial arts supply shops... not comic shops.

I doubt it. These aren't being sold to comic shops. They're only available online.

Well I called Katie as soon as I caught the update, a little past noon Central time and told her to send one my way! She said Pete was in the back room signing the initial 100 and drawing the heads.

FWIW, she said there will only be 1000 printed.

I mentioned to her Mirage going to a print-on-demand model, and she said that they were thinking about going that route. So based on that, perhaps in a few months the price may drop back down a bit if they take X amount of orders at a stated price and print X amount.

On a side note, and small rant, what's the freakin' deal with people not picking up the phone and calling Mirage to order their books?! It takes about 2 minutes if you don't want to chat with Katie, and takes a couple days for your books to arrive depending on where you live. It takes four days to come from MA to AL with standard mail, always arrives in good condition. I'd much rather do that than drive across town, ask the dude to place an order, wait for it to arrive, then drive back across town to pick it up. All I do is flip open my phone, tell her to charge my card, and 'bam!' four days later I get a book!

Okay, that's all. Whee for TMNT! :D

Dunno what you're talking about. As soon as I found out you could do that, I ordered about 20 comics from them at one time (all of Tales Vol. 2 that I didn't already have). After I get paid I'm gonna order some TMNT Vol. 1 from them.

It's up on Wowio!

O.o !!! I'm going now... Must read... Shoot, now I won't be going to bed for a while, and it's already late.

EDIT: Ugh, the wait is killing me. Must -- download -- faster -- !!!

tOkKa... Your use of dashes, dots, and arrows will never stop confusing me -- but that's part of your charm. ;) Nice pic, btw. :lol:

w00t! I just finished reading the comic and the letters column! Spoilers ahead! Read at your own risk!

Damn Wowio and their US only rules!!

I'm downloading it now. If I still can, I'll grab a copy next week if I don't spend too much on the other TMNT comics I'm looking to get.

EDIT: My response to the book itself is in the spoiler tags below.

Damn I enjoyed that quite a hell of allot, and now the plots thicken even more!
It's cool that Peter is finally touching on a few issues in the letters section like why he's re-toning the old comics and such but I've gotta disagree with him they looked fine the way they had been from the start.
But oh well it's his comic and he's going to do what he wants regardless of what any of us think.
The only real major gripe I have about anything being replaced is that he should be the one drawing new panels for old stories not Jim Lawson.
It just look awkward and out of place with the art of Kevin & Peter.

As always I love the cover art, I wish Mr. Dooney would buck it up and just do one issue of tales or do a mini series where the TMNT meet Gizmo & Fluff.

Jim's art is much much much better in this issue, there's still a few parts where I go ugh that looks as if it was just drawn so quickly without care but I believe Peter helped allot on this issue I sort of see his style especially in some close up shots.

It's nice that the as well as the character .

I also like the full page bar scene it takes me back to the early Mirage issues, I'd really like to see more of those in future issues.

I also really thought the idea of the



I really love Fugitoids second form when he transforms I hope we end up seeing that in the cartoon at some point.











I also loved the Full page art at the very end! It was totally awesome Great job on that one Jim and if Erik inked it man I hope your hands got allot of rest after that lol.

I don't know what to say about Peter's getting mad at who I believe is none other than our own Roseangelo or Spitfire.
I mean sure he has a right to be angry for people saying things but saying she had a way of contacting him when Vol. 4 has been away for so long and he hasn't made a peep since before the movie came out is something that's annoyed me also.
I don't think it helped matters any that the guy running the turtles went into hidding, and left the fans to guess things.
Sure we could have e-mailed Dan but he doesn't have the answers to everything.
But at least he's set the record straight, I'm just a bit suprised he let it fester for this long without saying anthing, Peter that's not good for your health trust me I know, you're going to get a stomach ulcer. ;)

Anyway I loved it if nothing else I'm happy as Hell Vol. 4 is back and what seems to be even better than before.

Finally!


When is the next one coming up?

Spoiler Tags Scandia! And the next issue is coming when Peters says it is :P

Damn... I had the issue downloaded and ready to read before anyone even seemed to notice it was there... but Acrobat was being retarded and I had to reinstall and reboot before I could read it.

Anyway, since nobody else has mentioned it...

I did not think my post would be so spoilerish. But I added the spoiler tag.

Argh! Too much to handle! Someone hook an Aussie bro up! :lol:

Alright!!! Lets get into this book here!



An interesting issue. At least we know more about the Battle Nexus and even learned a Triceraton word in the process! *lol* Can't wait for next issue (which will hopefully have Raph and Don in it) :D
