That's cool that it got a shout out at least. TMNT comics rarely get any respect these days.

Ummmm..bedbug not to sound rude but could you make some use of grammar and/or punctuation? Your posts are difficult to read.

no i dont know how to use grammer and punctuation i had some pretty lame teachers growing up so its not my fault :cry:

DAMN you beat me to it!

then maybe you shold stop sleeping on the job :lol:

Well Bed Bug, look at it this way: The turtles are respected and were not on the overrated list. :roll:

I'm surprised they were even mentioned at all...i mean, i'm a fan and all, but this volume for me, IMO, is very slow and at best disjointed....again I continue to read it, and I find the Tales to be a much better read, but for outsiders who are true TMNT fans to enjoy it that I find hard to believe...so let's just be happy that it got mentioned at all...

That's cool news. It's about time they got some recognition somewhere. And it's true, The TMNT is one of the most underrated comics properties of all time. All people think about is (stereotyping ahead) "ugghh, Silly little kids book"..and pass it up.

I agree that as a whole, the TMNT property is very much underated in regards to great comics of all time....however, if I'm reading this right, this award is in regards to noteworthy comics of 2005 only...that would take into consideration only Volume 4 and not the entire run of comics...not even Tales...

Yeah TMNT has always been underrated in the comics dept. Considering it started out as a comic and became a billion dollar franchise spinning off more cartoons and toys than most marvel or dc big name properties I'm completely surprised it doesn't do better. I'm sure if Mirage pushed it correctly (gave it big name writers/artists) it would do better, but then it may become too commercialized. It's got that sort of underdog modest feel to it. Like it's out there only to tell stories not make money.

yeah they havent been too good so far this year :(i mean if it was tales i would agree but its not so no

Exactly... Tales is good book IMO...maybe even a very good book...but the reg series just doesn't do it for me...

me like reg book its just been bad all this year and most of last year and they take way too long too come out. :evil:

Is Larid even making money off the comics? I thought he was doing them for his own enjoyment.

Well, I'm sure he's making something...though definately not the boatload he was making in the past...

In #22 he hinted that the new comic isn't turning a profit.

O CRAP DO YA THINK THEYLL CANCELL IT :cry:

No, he does it because he wants to. If he doesn't want to do it anymore, he won't.

tales is number 217 on the top 300 selling comics so thats kinda good(i think)
