Issue 13 of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventure to be a crossover
 

The cover for issue 13 of TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures reveals a crossover, It will feature the Mirage, 2003, 2012, Rise, and 87 TMNT together.

Yay, Turtles Forever 2 (I hope) in comic form.

That’s neat. I don’t know if I’ll read it but holy crap is IDW killing it with the license. Only thing we are missing now is Peter’s return in one way or another.

Guess this Ogglympics story arc's going to be WAY crazier than I expected! Looking forward to seeing how Erik Burnham captures the voices of the different iterations in a FW-based comic. Also happy that they chose Donnie to represent 2k3. He's probably my second-favorite from that show behind Leo.

holy ****ing ****

Hopefully they don't make FW Turtles incompetent again in crossover.

This time TMNT (1987) is the home team. It is not uncommon for one considered the guest between crossovers to get portrayed lesser then the characters really are.I am hoping that the 1987 TMNT will not be overly goofy and perhaps the other versions Sligh amplified.


I suspect this is a result of the special sword cutting through reality.

1987 Raph is definitely going to make a joke about how Turtles Forever wasn't canon since Rob Paulsen didn't voice him.

Oh, that was just wrong. They really did the FW TMNT dirty in that special

The art is cool. I like how 2k3 Don and Mirage Leo look. Also shows how grotesque Rise version is.

No original voice actor is not ideal but I am thankful for the Turtles Forever that we got. I really think they did about the best they could with their budget

87'TMNT could have been better written, though. It was not a problem with a budget.

Maybe he will mention different voice actor but we will see in this issue will it be canon or not

I hope April and Irma will interact with this other turtle teams, what do you guys think? They might be scared when they see Mirage Leo

2003 Raph complain about how stupid FW Turtle is, but that's because he didn't meet 2012 Mikey.

It took a decade and a half of ownership, but it’s nice to see the 2003 series finally get SOME recognition from Nick.

And then you never see them referenced again for the next 10 years.:lol:

This has absolutely 0 to do with Nick beyond them just not saying "no."

Sure, its not like their politics regarding TMNT were shaped around licking FW version or anything...

If you mean that no-one, like absolutely no-one, wanted to reference 2k3 throughout all the years Viacom / Nick owned franchise, outside of IDW, it might be the case, but I feel it is a bit unlikely. Of course, we can't say for sure, but it feels like Nick specifically ignored 2k3, since it was unlike FW version and thus didn't fit in their idea of TMNT should be.

Of course, with success of TLR, they might change their stance, if it was indeed the case. But it would be easier for them to exploit Mirage'verse, instead of its "watered down" version. Even 2k3 is much more than that, regardless of some naysayers..

How do you think he might react to 2012 Mikey if he met him in this issue?

Pretty much everything TMNT related has something to do with Nick these days. Even in the comics they seem to want to get creatively involved barring TLR. It was even Nickelodeon who chose Dan Duncan as the initial artist for the IDW run.

IDW deserves the credit here but I’m just clarifying that Nick does have a say over who does what with this license. I think Nick needs to be included when we discuss most facets of the TMNT as long as they own the property because approval actually is a huge part of the process and we know they like to get creatively involved based on interviews with IDW and Kevin.

I was recently given the same response when I praised the IDW comics line as one of the positive aspects of Nick’s ownership over TMNT, but we really can’t severe their affiliation with the comics just because it’s a licensing deal. It’s all under their umbrella and they do get creatively involved.

Although compared with Mirage, TLR is still much watered down. Except for the flashback scene where Raph massacred the foot soldiers, the rest is kinda meh and maybe even anticlimax. I would rather TLR focus more on Mikey's present timeline story and how he will kill his enemies for revenge.

Regarding the Last Ronin, Nickelodeon was nice enough to allow a studio to work on a video game adaption, But not in any other form of media like a movie or TV series.

Nickelodeon caters to kids, And the Last Ronin is geared to a mature audience, Which isn't there demographic.

The Old Turtle Den mentioned my tweet about the crossover.

By vomiting.
Like any normal person who is not 3 year old.

Do you guys think they will use that sword to bring this other turtles to TMNT 1987 universe? By the way TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures issue 11 might not be last time sword will cause trouble in this comic so who knows

Its possible that the sword can be used to bring characters from other universes.

Yes, by the way I hope that issues 13 and 14 both will feature this other turtles and not only issue 13 but I will be fine either way, the fact that this is happening is pretty exciting guys

While the quality of TLR is subjective - I think it’s great not perfect - the violence and maturity level has not been toned down from Mirage, if that’s what you mean. TLR is quite violent, especially The Lost Years.

Nick has definitely been shy about adult-aimed TMNT content but with The Last Ronin they let them off the leash. It seems they are still too shy for a movie adaptation right now but I think they will allow an animated version soon enough. It’s getting harder to deny the success. It’s still a top-selling book on Amazon and people are buying it at Target of all places.

This issue is a part of an upcoming multi-part storyline called "Ogglympics" where Mister Ogg has the FW Turtles compete in various challenges so they can prevent themselves from being wiped from existence. I'm guessing this Turtles vs. Turtles thing is one of said events, and Ogg used his powers to pluck each member of the opposing team from their home realities.

This issue will lead to issue 14 where they face 2012's Tiger Claw.

Yes and it might take place after his appearance at end of Trans-Dimensional Turtles episode

So do you think he might send them back at end of issue 13? Would be good if they also appear in issue 14 though but we have to wait and see what will happen

So I think it will be same versions from Mirage comics, 2003, 2012 and Rise cartoons, also this is same characters as in 1987 series that appear in this comic book series

Cool, The IDW TMNT are also part of the crossover

Dammit, I can't even escape that black hole of a character in the 87 comic!

This will be really interesting, wondering how other Turtles will react to female turtle, what do you guys think?

There hasn't been a female turtle in TMNT 87 universe, The closest being Mona Lisa who is a salamander.

Yes, but other turtle teams who will be in this crossover also doesn't have a female turtle so it will also be surprising for them
