Tales of the TMNT #9 (spoilers)
 

Those bastards! They killed Klunk! :(

This if the first time a comic book has made me cry :cry:

What are you talking about :cry: please explain...its going to be a long time before I get my hands on #9 with these lousy comic stores :ohwell:

I'm not sure when this issue exactly takes place. The turtles were in an apartment type place, probably April's, and Klunk got out through a hole in the screen of a window, and got run over by a car. The story involves Michelangelo trying to save Klunk by taking him to a mystic healer.

Even though Klunk dies, it was one of the most insightful issues into Mikey's character and heart.

One thing I will say about this one from the preview is that the art looks a lot better with Lawson inking it, it makes Talbot look like he was just tracing the outlines

:o I must get it at any cost......means Ill probably have to order it from the official site :|

klunk dies. but look at it this way.. has he made an appearance in volume 4.. then hes probably alright.

different kitty kat

Oh. bummer. :(

I had a good bawl after reading that comic too. First time as well. Just a great, great bit of storytelling. Easily in my top 5 Turtle stories.

None of you guys cried after Splinter's death?

Haha, yeah. There's quite a contrast between the two.

I just read it.

Wasn't as gut-wrenching as I thought it would be. The death of animals is just about the only thing that can get a reaction out of me anymore (like that episode of Futurama, one of the saddest things I've seen in my life).

However, this issue didn't envoke much emotion. I dunno why. Maybe because Klunk's death felt kinda "silly", with the crazy cat-lady and the cajun voodoo-guy. I dunno.

It was a good issue, none-the-less. The best part was at the end, when Mikey finally realized what he was doing. "It's okay, nobody loves this cat. Just look at it." It was done very well.

Not as heart-breaking as I was expecting it to be (which, I suppose, isn't really a bad thing), but still a good issue.

I really liked this issue. the cat in volume 4 is the offspring of klunk.. which is cool. just call him kluck Jr.

Is he possibly....ballons??

when did Issue 9 come out??...issue 8 just came out the other week cause it came out late, like they most usually do,lol, and i havent seen 9 on the order forms yet.

Issue #9 isnt out yet anywhere. I asked around at about 8 different stores and they all told me the same thing "It's not out yet" I checked a few shipping dates and I havnt see it posted for release yet so yeah I dont know what is up. Anyone who has it now either works for Mirage or is very lucky

I found it at two stores in my area already, and I've seen it up for order online at a online comic store I order from, G-Mart

Well then I guess California is just lame :( Stupid comic stores they never have anything

just read it a second time. I really liked issue 9. I dont think im lucky its out everywhere in my area.

I think it's out a few weeks "early" in some areas("early" being relative, since it's actually late everywhere since it was supposed to be out in March). It hasn't even been listed on Diamond Comics shipping list yet, which will say when the majority of comic shops will be getting it. I assume next wednesday will be the "real" shipping date for it.
