Hey these are pretty dang good! Love the art and the reflective writing! It's this deeper, interpersonal side of the turtles that really drew me to mirage and you're doing a good job capturing that. Any plans for mini-series focusing on the other turtles after Don's is wrapped up?

Thanks for the kind words man! Glad you enjoyed it! After Don is wrapped up I'd like to do a Mikey spotlight, but we're also focusing on an original comic so it might be some time until we can get to it.

That's cool you're focusing on Don & Mike first - they're definitely the turtles most overlooked.

Nice work :)

I agree, maybe that's why they were always my two favorites.

Thanks twopinacoladas! (Now I'm thirsty...)

That was amazing!! I just want to give poor Don a hug, lol. Loved what you did with Raph too. You guys are very talented.

TurtleTitan97 03-26-2012 05:42 PM

This was fantastic! Well done! I think I almost cried for Don.

Plasticplayhouse 03-26-2012 06:01 PM

I really enjoyed dark energy II. Looking forward to part 3!

pl212 03-26-2012 06:58 PM

Thanks for the support guys!! Glad you all liked it :D

Donnie 04-08-2012 06:58 PM

Just thought a friendly bump was in order for any who missed it the first time around.

It will only take 5 minutes to read, I promise. :D

Samhain 04-08-2012 07:03 PM

Really enjoyed it!

Andrew NDB 04-08-2012 07:23 PM

Just perused this one. Great work, even more moving than the first installment.

The way this is going, it almost seems like a direct prelude to what how "Odyssey" begins. :)

Thanks a lot for the kind words! Heh, that's awesome man. Can't wait to read "Odyssey"! Maybe we can do a tie-in. ;)

Less than five minutes! With its simple approach, its tone is reminiscent of the Mirage days where many times, less was more, especially in character pieces like this one. Great job!

My bad for the necropost, but did any more of these "Between the Lines" shorts come out? I stumbled on these sometime last year when I was lurking these forums and have been wondering ever since.

Hey man! Thank you for reviving this thread, and for reading our work that was released over a decade (!) ago now. Time flies.

Unfortunately, Pedro & I didn't produce more "Between the Lines" shorts. We were focusing on an original comic idea for some years, but now have taken a hiatus. Yet, make no mistake -- I have some ideas formulating for future "Between the Lines," with at least one more continuing the narrative of "Dark Energy." Fingers crossed that we can complete more projects in the future. :)

Smithguy789 08-04-2025 11:28 AM

Good to hear! Good luck on your future endeavors (TMNT-related or not). Hope to see more of your work here in the future!

liugeaux 08-15-2025 03:50 PM

Is there anywhere I can read these? I can't get the links to work.
