TMNT #9 solicitation info (small spoilers, perhaps)
 
I checked out the latest Previews, looking if the DW comics was in there, but instead I found this:

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #9
by Laird, Lawson, & Talbot; cover by Dooney & Lawson
A desperate Donatello visits part of an old acquaintance; violence erupts on the mysterious South American tepui; and — enter the NanoTurtlebot!
b&w, 32pg $2.95
Old acquaintance? And "NanoTurtlebot"?? What kind of crazy idea is Peter up to now? :lol:

Well as I haven't read the Volume 4 yet, I can't really say if that sounds weird or not.

:D I dont even know what issue 8 is gonna be about. So lets see that one first

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #8

Leonardo squares off against an old antagonist... an old friend arrives in Northampton to help Splinter decide Jay's fate... and the mystery of April's origin deepens!
b&w, 32pg $2.95
;)

Hey, what do you now, another old friend! Or is it the same as in #9 perhaps?

not sure, but im guessing it involves a lot of slow boring drama, "goongala"s with no action =P

Karpo_007 01-23-2003 10:30 AM

Well Mirgae has never been just action, But If there is none, well maybe Laird can't pull it off as good as he did 15-20 years ago.

Oh goody "violence" :evilgrin: . Patience Zao this series is building somewhere and towards something. I just have no idea what yet? But I have a strong suspicion that there will be plenty of action before this story is over. By the way how many more returning characters are there that Laird can bring in? He's brought back about 12 already.

Jephael 01-23-2003 04:28 PM

They should bring back that dude from TMNT Vol.1 #9. He was a pretty cool character!

Karpo_007 01-23-2003 04:30 PM

The Mob boss' son? By the way that is prettu strange issues. It says it happnes before issue 1, But in issue 1 they say that the battle with the Purple Dragon was their first...

xZAOx 01-23-2003 05:04 PM

japheal, hes actually in another issue way later on in the series (40s somewhere, its a 2 parter by AC farely i think..) and in that issue, they DO go back before issue one, and you get to see the origin of the foot!

its a chicken and the egg thing. but i dont want to ruin it =)

Karpo_007 01-23-2003 05:06 PM

please don't! Im getting to there pretty soon, Last night I read issue #43.

xZAOx 01-23-2003 06:05 PM

hehehe, i was thinking you were somewhere in that area. yeah its issues 46 and 47. its not by farley tho, its by dooney, so its still a great comic. you should enjoy them!

Karpo_007 01-23-2003 06:06 PM

Im sure I will. Dooney is part of the Regular Mirage artists... I have always liked his work.

I already have those issues. I wanted to read it because it's got my favorite time traveling hottie in it! ::drools over pic of Renet::

Eh?

Sparvid 01-24-2003 04:37 AM

-"Ooh, the beach! I just like, love the beach! I mean, I've never been to one, but I know it would be sooo wild! I know I'd love it! Tee hee! Can I have another beer?"
-"Oh Renet -- Please! Just pass out or something! Yak, yak, yak, yak!"


Hopefully Renet can get an ep in a possible second season of the cartoon... :D

The newerish Mirage series is a quaint little throwback to 85', but what Im really interested(and I think most comic fans in general) Will be the super cool anime tinged color cg'd Dreamwave title! Sadly, no pix, word from Dreamwave, or Previews solicitation has been made. But, you saw what they did for Transformers! WOW!

Karpo_007 01-24-2003 02:46 PM

You are a lttle too Intrested about a children's comic... And Yes it will be one. It is based on the new cartoon, so there can be no death ETC. OF course I hope that wouldn't happen, But I can't see any other choice.

As for the new comic being like done in 85, You are the person who has mostly said that everything were done better at the 80's and you are saying it is a bad thing? Well I've read only issue one, But I have heard that it doesn't get on the same level with older Mirage. And I think that nothing ever can.

Not sure why you keep calling it a kiddy book. As the official word I posted sounds anything but an Archie book. And does this mean the cartoon doesnt interest you?(if it fact is based on it?)

The new series...I was so excited in Late 2001...Saw the cover, opened it up, and was like 'yeahhhh.....'..., looked through it, and put it back. I look through most the issues, but that really outdated stimpling look just looks...ugh.

Yes, I always say things were better in the 80's...BUT! When you do a revival of an 80's thing, you simply cant bring out a carbon copy...youve got to update it, hence what 4Kids and Dreamwave are doing with the new cartoona nd comic respectively. That breathtaking new Transformers comic series by Dreamwave, ya think fans would be digging it if it was done in that old mid 80's Marvel style? heck no. So when game developers make a new Metroid or Contra game...they are not simply making the same ol old stuff, but a whole new vision and evolution of the series, with a flavor of th eold that made it fun and appealing in the first place. I think theats what they are doing here with the new TMNT revival...not simply more of the same ol nostlagia(tho I surmise some fans would be content with that...not me tho!) but a whole new look.
