More Kevin art!? Possibly doing issue #21. [Confirmed]
 

From IDW Publishing forums:
Personally, I think this is great news. I know it's good to give newer artists a chance, but it's Kevin Eastman!

Thoughts?

Sounds cool. Between all the covers, Ultimate collections, the annual, and #21 I hope Eastman doesn't get burned out. They're really having him do a lot.

Well, it seems like he's having fun. I'm sure when it's not anymore, he can just walk away.

Yes. That is definitely a concern. Keeping him busy as well as happy will be a tricky balance.

My thoughts? You ought to know, I'm game! Anyone who wouldn't get pumped for this can go flush themselves.

Kevin is probably relieved to be treated with respect again. He probably butted heads a lot with Peter. Other than Vol. 4 probably never getting finished, I'm kind of glad that Laird sold the turtles.

Considering Viacom saved the property with the new show and comics, I think everyone is happy PL sold the Turtles.

Kevin involved on another TMNT #21... considering Mirage Vol. 1 TMNT #21 is my favorite comic book, period, the significance of him doing that particular number wouldn't be lost on me.

I just hope -- if it happens -- he's given the right kind of material to really shine.

Nice... can never have to many Eastman art. Hope it goes that way... looking forward to it.

I nearly flipped when Bobby posted this at IDW boards, this would be absolutely amazing, I hope it works out.

Well issue #18 has the Turtles trapped in Dimension X with Fugitoid in a space arc,and I imagine it'll go on for a few issues.

They might still be in space in issue #21. Would seem odd to see Eastman chosen for a sci-fi adventure rather than some down to earth Foot Soldier story.

if this goes through, then i see absolutely no downside whatsoever! always excited for new stuff from kevin!

The Krang War is 17-20 (4 issues like most arcs have been). Bobby also said yesterday that Secret History takes place between 20 and 21 (but this is subject to change) so they should be back on earth by 21.

I agree.. I'm always psyched to see Kevin's cover variants. And they've been getting better with each passing issue. So I see no negative here either.

i'm always down for more of kevin's art. though, i do hope that IDW doesnt burn him out.
keep him involved - yes
keep him gainfully employed - yes

he does a cover for every issue (which i love by the way), but that seems like it could be taxing over a long period. honestly, i'd rather have him do only a few variant covers and spend the other work time drawing stand alone stories that consist of only of his art.

point is, i dont want him getting burned out again. he seems to bring a lot of energy, energy that the series needs and i'd like to see that go the long haul. if a candle burns brightly than there is no need to burn it at both ends.

Most exciting news I've heard from IDW in a very long time.

That would be awesome! Hope it pans out. Hell, forget giving "new artists a chance." I would love to see Eastman at the helm full time for the art to give us a true Eastman and Waltz series. I'm sure it's wishful thinking, but it would be amazing if it happened!

I'd love to see an entire issue drawn by Mr. Eastman at some point. That'd be so cool!

I would love to have Eastman do another issue 21 because of the historical significance. Plus I love that he is drawing again.

Aren't we getting that with the Annual released next week?
