View it before it gets taken down!!! :tlol:

Wow, Splinter looks banged up! I wonder what the shell happen to him?

Not my favorite Archie issue/visual, but still awesome.

Wha???

You belittle the artistic accomplishments of the late, great Gene Colan?

I feel like I don't even know you anymore!
:tlol:

That's more like it!

I found that a little entertaining. Until it ended. Then i was like, "Awww. :( pooh." but I like it.

Considering the issue this is based out of was my very first TMNT comic ever, this is super exciting for me. :) Great find!

It's a trap! :P

But seriously. I'd only rejoice if Ninjara showed up...

Can someone please explain this visual to me? I have no idea what I'm looking at, and I kinda hate myself for having to ask, especially considering what a huge fan I am of the Archie comics.

Splinter hanging from the giant mouse/rat trap off the Acme Traps building from TMNT Adventures issue 22.

Thanks for clearing that up, Raph's Girl. Gotta admit, that does look pretty cool now that I know what I'm looking at.

I hope to god this means the Nick show writers are fans of Slash and Armaggon...

Dudes and Dudettes, ya'll do realize that the image is animated, right? There's probably about 60 frames of Raphael stepping in to fight Shredder and save Splinter from certain doom.

very very cool

Sweet storyboard. Always good to see Archie influencing today's artists

Pretty cool visual. So, is this going to be in the new show then?

Remember how they said that they actually have a Ninja master on staff to help with fight choreography? I can actually see some of what they meant by that in the exchange Raph and Shredder had. It's obviously a bit stylized, but it's definitely there.

It's animated?! *goes back* Dude!! SW33T!!

Other than the lack of the cloak and the 3 toes it's about 97% identical to the comic!!

Man imagine if this show starts adapting Archie storylines?

How awesome would it be to see the likes of Malinga, Null, and Armaggon on TV for the first time!

Yeah, I was really impressed. Even if they don't bother to adapt any Archie stories, I'd appreciate little visual nods to the series like a giant rat trap or a giant robot foot soldier.
