Micro-Series #8: Fugitoid. Preview/Discussion
 

Out Wednesday.

Preview here.

Aw shoot, I clicked the spoiler tag on accident. ;~;

Quite a spoiler though (considering I've not checked out the preview, anyway). Maybe I should wait for #14 to check this out...

yea i clicked the spoiler too. but it doesn't totally spoil much. can't wait for this issue. the shirts remind me of star trek though...

Interesting..

So I just read the preview. It was good. I like where they seem to be taking this. Though these Micros coming out before where they go is a little strange. I understand that they want to get them out but a little closer to where it goes story wise would be nice.

Did the Neutrinos always have pointy elf ears like Zelda characters?

Yes. You should know that.

I must have never noticed it.

So in Mirage Prof. Honeycutt was an alien but he looked human, because the entire Federation looked human. But in this series he appears to be of Neutrino origin with pointy elf ears.

Hm, so far no mention of the Federation at all, I wouldn't be surprised if IDW ignores them and instead has Krang wage war against the Triceratons instead.

Who even says that there will be Triceratons? I mean as far as we know right now he is just fighting against Neutrinos. There have been no indecation that the Triceratons exist in the IDWverse. Oddly enough though I'm okay with them not showing up at the moment. Though I would love to see Zog again in some fashion.

They'll likely show up eventually, I expect every major Mirage-centric characters to appear.

I hope they don't.

Not everything from ever version needs to show up. Right now it still feels like Fred Wolf is the primary influence with a tad bit of the others thrown in. The IDW crew is starting to make it feel like its own too though in some aspects. I'd really like to see that grow. I guess that is why I don't want the Triceratons in this issue. If they are going to include them do it some other way, not just there because that's how it was done before.

Bring ON the Fugitoid!

But I'll just tell ya'll right now that I'm gonna wait for TMNT #14 before I read it. I just hope I don't ruin the surprise for myself by seeing it on DrSpengler's TMNT Entity site.

The Triceratons have been enjoyable in every appearance and I want to see them fight the Rock Soldiers.

That's debatable. I find every story the Triceratons have been in to be boring stories that drag on far too long.

I so can't wait for this issue.

The gladiator business in Vol. 1 was drawn out and boring? It was 1 issue, and the pacing was breakneck. And wow, "Return to New York" was boring?

The Vol. 2 stuff with them I'll grant you.

Vol. 2 along with the boatloads of attention they got in the 4kids series.

They've done about all you can do with Triceratons, I feel like their inclusion in this book wouldn't be anything but tedious. I've been wrong before though.

I actually felt the 4kids version improved upon the comic version of Turtles in space, and the Seadon 3 arc when they invade earth was one of my favorite arcs of the show.

Also they appeared in the Image series too and were handled well there.
