Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration
 
https://www.forbes.com/sites/robsalk...ninja-turtles/

Just announced officially by Forbes, we're getting a 40th anniversary one-shot spanning multiple creators and eras, similar to the 30th anniversary special IDW did a decade ago (Man, time flies). Here's the most salient information regarding the one-shot:

Quote:
Now the company is celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the Turtles with a series of special events, including a 72 page one-shot collection slated for stores July 10, priced at $11.99. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration brings together creators spanning the entire gamut of the Turtles’ history, featuring fan-favorite creators revisiting the storylines associated with them over the years.

According to IDW, this special one-shot issue will feature new stories and pinup art from Jim Lawson, Ciro Nieli, Tristan Jones, Paul Harmon, Andy Suriano, Ronda Pattison, Pablo Tunica, Sophie Campbell, Tom Waltz, Michael Dialynas, Lloyd Goldfine, Khary Randolph, Emilio Lopez, Dan Duncan, Erik Burnham, Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, Chris Allan, Steve Lavigne, Freddie E. Williams II ,and more.
This is a really solid lineup, but I'm especially excited to see Tristan Jones and Paul Harmon team up again. Their issues were easily the highlight of Tales Vol 2 and honestly, are my favorite TMNT comics outside of the original Eastman/Laird run. It remains to be seen if they'll be able to wrap up their ongoing narrative within the confines of this one-shot, but I'm thrilled just to see their work again. Maybe we can get a collection of their work in the future?

Also coming as a hardcover in November, as mentioned in this thread I made a couple weeks ago that nobody bothered with.

I'm most excited about the new 2k3 story written by Lloyd Goldfine with art by Khary Randolph. Also seems like we'll be getting a new SMA story since Erik Burnham and Sarah Myer are involved. Super neat.

You'll get some ideas of how things went... or didn't... or could have... :twink:

Hello, I am also excited about new 2k3 story, what do you think it could be about?

Andrew NDB 04-12-2024 10:22 AM
72 pages with that many names on it doing stories plus pinups I wouldn't expect too big of things from the stories but it's always cool to see stuff like this happen.

Yeah but still seeing 2003 turtles returning in main story will be good, I think it will be good, by the way we are getting Donatello from 2003 series making appearance in TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures Continued issues 12 and 13 at least

Andrew NDB 04-12-2024 11:25 AM
It's also a bit sad that every time some kind of big anniversary celebration book like this comes out, of course with new Kevin Eastman material... it serves as another reminder of, "Well, if Laird didn't come back for THIS, then how likely can it possibly be that he'd come back for Vol. 4?"

Vol. 4 ain't happening. But Peter did draw a cover for this.

nidza_maj2000 04-12-2024 12:36 PM
So I said on Khary Randolph post on Instagram that I think it will be about TMNT 2003 series and here's what he replied: instagram.com/p/C5qr3plOpqx/ so it looks like we are definitely getting story set in TMNT 2003 continuity

That's an interesting teaser. Obviously I would prefer you get a chance to finish your story properly the way Gary Carlson and Frank Fosco did, but if this is our last peak into your creative vision for the turtles, I'm happy to have it.

Honestly, I just hope we get one last story collaboration with Eastman and Laird before one of them passes away. I can't believe their last story together was over 20 years ago.

Either way, I'm hyped! Never would've thought you and Harmon would be doing Turtles again. It almost sounded to good to be true!

nidza_maj2000 04-12-2024 12:59 PM
About TMNT 2003 story, just wanted to say that it might take place after events of Turtles Forever movie and after Donatello from 2003 series appearances in TMNT Saturday Morning Adventures comic book, that is what I think, what do you guys think? Just curious

CyberCubed 04-12-2024 03:12 PM
The 30th anniversary special was really 10 years ago? Man that is crazy

Makes you feel old, don’t it?

There was an editorial structure in place above Bobby (who I still love a lot and is one of the few dudes who speaks openly about the difficulties there were particularly early on with TMNT) that wasn't great on a lot of levels that made me swear off working for either Nickelodeon and IDW unless something drastic changed. Both did. And given the conversations I've had, which are brief, there's now a possibility that that's a possibility. I've been in and around this industry too long now to put any eggs in any baskets and get hopes up, but if it's something people actually want then they need to actually tell IDW.

Neither did I to be completely honest!

Looking forward to this, but with that price tag per issue, I'll have to be VERY picky about the covers I get.
But I'll be getting to one that Kevin and Pete did \, for sure, as well as the 2003 one.

darthsmozers 04-14-2024 09:43 PM
More Chris Allan? OK!!!:D

darthsmozers 04-14-2024 09:56 PM
I haven’t bought a comic in a long time. Generally when would this be available to preorder at a comic shop?

That is how math works, yes.

This is a pretty cool way to celebrate the 40th anniversary. I'm particularly excited for the 2003, 2012, and Rise stories, as well as the Laird/Eastman and 2003 covers.

The 2k3 cover is the best and most nostalgic.

God I can't believe the 2003 cartoon is over 20 years old now. Where does the time go. I still remember when that was the "new" TMNT cartoon.

Wentos 04-16-2024 06:54 AM
These alternate covers are so fire. Is that Michael Dooney?

Indeed it is. He is still at the top of his game! If I get this book, I can’t justify passing up the Eastman and Laird cover but some of these others are just too good. Tough decision.

wait for the hardcover book later in the year it should have all the covers in the back of the book

frank_one 04-16-2024 01:37 PM
I love that cover by Dooney, except the gradient in the background, he should've put a couple of clouds or something. We need more covers by Dooney.

TMNachoT 04-20-2024 04:51 PM
Link to purchase the comics doesn´t give me the option to get specific covers :/

IndigoErth 05-08-2024 10:30 AM
Forgive my cluelessness, I don't otherwise buy individual comics. Is there a particular source to pre-order the 2003 cover?

Have the Laird/Eastman cover pre-ordered from a shop via eBay, but not seeing any source for the 2003. (Other than just an expensive, and presumably limited, listing on eBay.)

Edit: And any idea if that hardback coming out in November is the same book? Or is this something different..? Unsure if I should bother pre-ordering that, as I'd skip if it's the same thing.

Chaotix12345 05-08-2024 10:47 AM
It's the same book, just a hardcover edition with possible added content. (Since it has more pages.) IDW did a release like that for their last two Sonic and MLP anniversary specials.

IndigoErth 05-08-2024 03:00 PM
Gotcha, thanks for the input!

Andrew NDB 05-08-2024 03:31 PM
If you scroll down and only see the top half of that Michael Dooney cover it seems... problematic. :lol:

teacher fan 05-22-2024 08:55 PM
Does anyone know what exclusive content will be in the deluxe edition?

oldmanwinters 05-23-2024 01:37 PM
Chris Allan teased the TMNTA-verse debut of Casey Jones today!

Andrew NDB 05-23-2024 01:45 PM
Definitely it sounds like there are at least a couple surprises in the "and more!" lineup to be announced!

CyberCubed 05-23-2024 05:57 PM
Now the reference to Casey in "Year of the Turtle" makes sense. ;)

BornAgain 05-23-2024 07:30 PM
I never realized he didn’t appear in that series. How bizarre.

darthsmozers 05-25-2024 09:38 PM
When/how can this special be ordered? I haven’t ordered a comic (outside of fan work) in ages. Thanks.

Ask your local shop to order and hold a copy for you. Or just wait until it comes out and you can order online.
