Mighty Mutanimals#1 Discussion & Preview
 

Original release date was February 11th. I did not have one waiting for me at the lcs last week and I have yet to see a preview. Is it out? If so got anything to say about the issue?

I believe it was delayed due to some shipping issues with IDW comics.

Maybe it comes out next week?

comiclist.com says no IDW books today (Wed, Feb. 18).

Looks like all IDW titles were pushed to Feb. 25, which means 3 TMNT titles all on the same day.

My LCS owner says its on his shipping list for next Wednesday, so it should be out then (the 25th).

So are there preview pages?

There will be, next Friday.

is this for real coming out Wednesday? I haven't found a preview anywhere

well, it's "next friday" already... :roll:

Yes, & the preview is up. No need to roll your eyes. :trazz:

Mutanimals should be out the 25th

Haha, cool, thanks Powder! :)

Tracking devices, hehe, that part was pretty funny.

Definitely need Man Ray and Wingnut/Screwloose in this series, it just doesn't feel complete without them.

Now that was a funny last page. :lol:
Can't wait to see more!

Pete is soo funny,can't wait to Finnish reading this

Ok first of all I was literally laughing out loud at Pete. I love that guy. Allor's writing + Kuhn's art = a really good comic. I loved how Pete managed to kick the gun out of that guy's hand by trying to stop drop and roll away from the bullet that went up into the air. It makes you think Hob really has been thorough in the training he's put them through if even Pete has picked up on some of it. But damn, Hob, major unauthorized privacy breach! I think I can see what's going to cause some conflict within the group

super stoked for this series

Is this mini-series supposed to be a comedy? It has that vibe so far.

I'm so excited for more Pete!

I wonder if hob ever has to resist eating pete..also it looks like kuhns art has improved.

This looks so awesome. Pete is always funny, but Hob!? "You're just being paranoid." :tlol:

and you can see that faint smile on Gecko's face

Seems to be a bit more of a humorous theme, at least to start this series. I figured Lindsey would be the one to be kidnapped.

To repeat a theory from another thread:


But we'll see.

this looks to be a fun story :D

I love that they were willing to establish as a legitimate character first and reveal that aspect later and casually, rather than No awkward retcons of pre-existing characters, no dramatic new reveals of new minority characters who exist only to fill a politically correct slot... just good writing, good characters, good story.

i think they're asking about

Just wanted to say that I'm really to see that people are this issue!

Oh... duh. :tconfuse:

Paul, you , you!

What a crazy theory!

So I suppose that if the Nickelodeon crew were to introduce Lindsey they would have to do it in the final episode and make it as ambigious as possible.


On a more serious note, noticed how Mutagen Man's origin matches Peter Laird's original intention better than any of the cartoons did? I guess he had to be a mutant animal rather than a mutant human given Hob's refusal to recruit Bebop and Rocksteady.

Also, even though we saw him in shadow... Please tell me Null won't just look like some bald dude with tiny little horns again...

That was silly in the 90's and it's silly now, I really hope he either looks cooler or more subtle.

I'm glad someone picked up on this. It was not an accident.

Heh,

Though to be fair, my theory was that Lindsey would be missing up until the final issue where she'd rip the hearts out of the heroes who had been looking for her all this time.

I'm suprised at how much attention she got this issue (pleasantly mind you).

Cool, glad you dug it! I had a lot of fun writing Lindsey.

Yeah Peter Laird's proposed origin is probably a far better backstory than "Mailman slips into chemical vat" or "Dumb teenager thinks turning himself into an monster is a good idea". Both the cartoon versions are pretty awful origin stories, I'm happy you went with something more intelligent.

This was fun. It started off humorous and gradually went to serious. I'm happy that between this issue and today's TMNT we're finally getting a shift in Hob's status quo, I was beginning to feel like he'd lost some of his mojo as the book's resident antihero and gone a little soft. It's good to see him losing his temper and lashing out violently, screwing over supposed allies and being a not-so-good-guy with his own questionable agenda again.

And I had a fanboy moment seeing old bald-and-horny sitting there in his office. I've been waiting to see Null show up in this book since it started; outside Shredder and Krang he's easily my favorite TMNT villain and I'm excited to see him finally breaking into another universe's rogue gallery. If he's anything like his Archie counterpart, Null should open up all kinds of new story possibilities in IDW. I'm still hoping he's a "brother" of Kitsune who's used his immortality to conquer the business world (and so gain control of a good part of Earth regardless of borders); he'd fit right in. Looking forward to seeing him get some real page time soon.
