Hey everyone Vaughn Michael here not sure if anyone has gotten Issue # 3 of tales of TMNT yet but in the letters section they spoke of thinking of bring the long lost last chapter of the archie series out!
Now to me thats freaking amazingly great news and should be brought out everyone should write to Mirage and tell them to pleaee bring it out.
I know I'm going to I've wanted to read this story for so damn long....and to me the archie series is incomplete without this storyline being printed!
so please everyone go pester the mirage guys to bring this out!
^_^
thanks for your time

[mod edit by Machi: I thought since this is such a big event, we needed to officialize this thread for discussion. Please try to keep it in This thread and not sprawl all over the forum. It'll keep things in order and junk... :D Talk away!]

I haven't got the issue yet (will tommorrow), but I wrote to Peter and Chris Allan a couple of months ago telling them they should do the Forever War under the Mirage banner. I wonder if its my letter mentioned :)

cool it's good to see other people interested in it ...it seemed really dark the way archie was going when it got the can makes wonder if thats why it got it....
not sure if thats you gives the name CMonkey99? that you?
if so cool if not even cooler cause this story line needs to get out so we can all have it to enjoy and read and have the series finally end after all these years.

If they were to do this, I wonder if it would be possible for them to do it in full color. I would want to see it that way since it would of coarse incorporate the TMNT with their multi-colored bandanas.

I sure hope it would be in full color I don't really see what the point would be to release a full color story as black and white that just seems so wrong to me....god now you have me worried I sure as hell hope they do if they ever release it.
Peter will forever be my god if he brings this out lol
-Vaughn Michael

OMG I WANT TO READ THAT! The last issue of the Archie turtles sucked. I figure that if it was Archie then it will be full color.
As said on the official site
Thus ends the regular monthly continuity of "TMNT Adventures". The following two issues deal with the adolescent TMNT. The series was suddenly canceled by Archie before the next story arc, "The Forever War", would see print. Archie was unhappy with the direction the series had been taking and sales were dropping, so they decided it was time for a change. Having written all of these synopses, I must say that this series was truly great, and it's sorely missed.
This means they might have had it already done and they just never did. I hope they do release it because it looks so bad ass I LOVE FUTURE TURTLES!

you and me both and we can only hope they bring it out.
i'll be the happiest guy alive if they do!

*raises glass* This one's to you, Mr. Laird.

Wow, this is amazing news. The Archie TMNT are by far my favorite incarnation of the characters, next to Eastman and/or Laird-written Mirage stories. This has really got me excited.

Since we're talking about resurrecting old never-happen's, I wonder if there's any chance that Pete might consider resurrecting that "Next Mutation" story arch Mirage advertized several years back?? It looked pretty interesting.

Who knows?? Laterz.

I think he kinda is with whats happening to raph at the moment.

hrmm
 

I think he kinda is with whats happening to raph at the moment.

Perhaps, but in the "Next Mutation" story-arch, all the TMNT were supposed to continue mutating. I also doubt it would have been due to a "vampire attack", too.

Still, we'll see. ;)

i tihnk that (the further mutation) was mentioned in #16's letters column.

Also, in terms of the Forever War, stay tuned, but don't take it super seriously yet. You know too many factors would have to be put into place, and something like this could be over a year off! But, it is something to hope for.

Yes indeed I want to read it.

Mirage had better publish the damn thing.

I want to see the turtles fight the good fight for their friends the Mutanimals. Remember them? How DARE they kill off the Mutanimals! I was only a kid back then and I had to see Leatherhead die! Oh, Leatherhead! Here's a good ol' "UT!" for you, man!
:tsad:

I'd love to see the Forever War finally released/Adapted, Tales of the TMNT would be a great place to bring it back

Oh, I agree. Tales would be a great place to publish it.

i dont know it might be confuseing to those who dont know the story behind it

Well, in that case they can put a backstory in it kind of like they do in the Spawn books. That way you'll know what's going on.

i just think that it would work better as a stand alone tpb rather then a tales instalment

That's ****ing great news....I can't wait to hear more about this.

Well, whatever happens I want it. As long as it's published and published well.

Agreed. I just hope they release the original 6 part series and don't cut it down to half that much.

I believe it was said to be an intended 5-parter, but you're pretty close.

Oh, I thought it was gonna be a six parter....Oh well, they better leave it at 6 parts.

I don't really care HOW many parts it has! I just want to see it really happen! I got soooooo mad at Archie for dropping the series before they came out with "Future War" that I fumed about it for weeks afterwards! :tgrumble: Kinda reminded me of the way Marvel Comics dropped the "Biker Mice From Mars" comic book series after only THREE issues, when there were initially supposed to be SIX issues (I guess it was supposed to be a mini-series, or something). Which is the MAIN reason that I don't waste money on anything that Marvel has come out with since 1993.

This is really cool news, now I just have to somehow finish my Archie collection, I only have aboult half the comics

---delete this

HOLY SMOKE!!! This is so badass!!! I cant wait... at last!!!

Don't worry, dude. I originally got it from someone else's site only a year or so before I got a copy of #70 which had the preview in it.

Nice! :D

Funny that just last night I had a dream that I was in this store that had the Archies there. I was trying to figure out which issues to buy, when I saw this big (and unfortunately more expensive) book of a collection of the Archies. In the dream, I was trying to decide whether to buy the cheaper comics, or the book, as I figured I'd never find it anywhere else again. I woke up before I decided. Mayhaps I'll have to try having gin and tonics before bed more often, lol.

delurking just to say: OMG! The Forever War!!! How soon will it be shown in Previews so I can have our comic store order it?!? And how much will it be? I can't believe it!!!
