Found this on twitter.

I've been to the Angoulême (France) Comic Convention this weekend, and that book is already out over there, with a different cover and published by Soleil.

Maybe there will be a variant cover for the TPB? Wouldn't be surprised... Possibly an Eastman cover and a Duncan cover.

Wow cool, I had no idea that France has these too.

Wasn't this art used for somethng else already?

Eastman cover for #3.

Also, looks like the logo's embossed. Pretty cool.

those look cool...an embossed title would be nice indeed...hey okulus, did you meet stan sakai in angouleme?

Ahh ok, I was pretty sure it was one of his earlier variants, didn't feel like checking. That's a little lame, no?
Everything else got a fresh cover. Oh well, I'll still pick this up. The book should be a much better read in a lengthier format like this.

I agree, some new art would have been welcome...oh well. Still cool.

I find it funny that "CJJ" is in the link... :tlol:

It's been a pretty busy convention for me, and I haven't really had time for signings. I did see him, and there was quite a long queue of people in front of him, wich doesn't happen too often with non french authors.

I met him once in Granada (Spain) in 2006 and he's incredibly nice.

Sorry for going off-topic.

yes, he's known to be the nicest man in comics(now that jack kirby isn't umong us in physic any longer)...great to hear that his visit was successfull then;)...hey he was asked to do a one shot or something similar for the idw turtles as well and agreed to do it, remember?there we are, back in topic again;)....sorry, folks..

Looks good. It's a little much to expect a brand new cover for something like a TPB. It's the norm in the industry to just pull a cover that's been used before and slap it on a TPB. And at least it Eastman's art.:)

Sakai?
Last I heard he didn't want any part of the new turtles and that he only did in the past as a a favor, at the request of his good friend Peter Laird.

Someone over at the IDW boards even said he's so busy with other projects that Usagi Yojimbo is going on a short hiatus.

No doubt, I think Usagi has been bi-monthly for a little while now as it is...

here is the truth about it...
usagi is indeed on a short hiatus after issue 144, but so far is released in it's usual releasing schedule...remember usagi isn't a monthly ongoing as the turtles, but comes out about 10 times a year..(regarding from this perspective I am pretty happy about turtles comming out so often)
stan is working on a yet secret project in I think graphic novel form featuring a special numbers of ronin(okay I cannot confirm the number, because the post about it has been erased from the uy dojo/I am too confused to find it at the moment) and he is also doing a tales of the mouse guards story for david peterson's mouse guard universe...
that's why bobby said stan is very busy right now..it was also him(this time I double checked the info;)..)who doubted that stan is really interested to work for idw's turtles..but way back before the turtles even saw their first idw issue stan told us at the dojo(uy fansite) that he was asked and that he agreed to do something...here are his own words, compadres:

IDW just announced that they will be publishing new TMNT stories, starting this summer. They had approached me about doing something for this new series, and I won't be doing anything on a regular basis but I did agree to maybe a one-shot or something else very finite.

so, that's as far as anything has been said about it, here ya go;)

Thanks Marcel! It's great to know that Stan will be lending his talents to IDW's TMNT in some capacity. :D

no problem, dude!...yeah, I know I can't hardly wait to see the results some day;)...

Yeah that is good to hear, I can't wait to see more from our longtime favorites like Stan (& of course the Mirage gang).
