TMNT: City Fall

[HotJuicyBurgers]

So does anyone know if mateus's work is all digital or if he does "traditional" art. Would love to own a page of his stuff

[Martin]

Good lord, I just geekgasmed all over the keyboard. SUPER excited

I was already happy when I read that Santolouco was the new regular (awesome artist; only thing I don't dig are Mikey and Donnie's faces, they look kind of weird but that might just be their bandanas). But when I kept going and read all the other stuff... wow, just wow. I can totally see this working soooo well! Can't wait till may

Would it be too early to ask if IDW is already planning out year 3?

Sounds like IDW could very well have the basic ideas down for the first 50 issues or so of this ongoing.

Not unreasonable. I'm positive Tom and company would at least have the broad strokes for the next 3 or 4 story arcs with some other story arcs "up in the air" as far as when they could happen/where they could go... and given that each story arc is averaging about 6 or 7 issues anyway, yeah, "basic ideas down for the first 50 issues or so" is to be expected.

That is if the series lasts for 50 issues, I really hope it does though

It's consistently in IDW's top 3 best sellers. It'll be around for a long time considering we've got a movie coming up.

Anyone think idw might adapt the movie into the comics,

[Venom]

We're going to see Raphael at his most angry and impulsive. We'll see Donatello struggling for a logical response to all this. And Michelangelo is going to be super bummed and depressed because his family and his happy-go-lucky lifestyle is endangered.

Sounds like the IDW Turtles will briefly reflect their original Mirage counterparts!

The interview makes me wonder who the Turtles will look at to lead: Don, being the most logical, or will Raph take a familiar cue and try to take over the reigns?

One character aspect I would *love* to see develop out of this is Michelangelo take to writing as a means to vent his inner frustrations, whether it be in a journal or on a blog; Michelangelo is often times cast aside as the "dumb, goofy kid" of the Turtles, yet those of us who have followed the Turtles throughout the comics know Michelangelo holds much more depth than mainstream pop culture allows him.

On another note, I'm curious to see how sales will be for the upcoming issues, as Santolouco taking over art duties on the ongoing will finally see the Turtles being the most "mainstream" they've ever been in comics and having a book where the inside looks like the cover.

A Leo heel turn. Wow.

[Powder]

An article full of good news! I'm excited for all of this (though not so much the idea of Bebop & Rocksteady being shoved into what is essentially going to be IDW's City At War).

[frank_one]

Great news! I'm glad to see Santolouco as the new artist (Bates was doing well too), I only hope he has changed his mind about those weird superhero bandanas we've seen in the Foot clan mini-series.

[Triceraton Jones]

This is the best bit of news I've heard all week. I am absolutely loving IDW's TMNT more and more. Its been so long since I've been excited for a comic and I don't think I've ever got more and more excited as a series has gone on. Thank you IDW, sincerely.

Sounds like an Adele song, "CityFall..."

[Cipher]

While any similarity to "City at War" sounds like it will be in name only, I'm very excited for this. Sounds like the kind of shot in the arm the IDW series could use, and they're definitely far enough in for a big shake-up.

Also, Shredder employing more as-of-yet-unrevealed mutants? They couldn't tease Bebop and Rocksteady harder if they mentioned horns and tusks.

Not just in name, that article/interview with Bobby pretty much stated/cited other similarities other than "city" being in the name.

Didn't the TMNT Annual already kind of do this? It had the Foot, Savate, the police, the Turtles and Purple Dragons all caught up in a huge fight.

Yeah, but they were fighting over jewels, not power over the city. I have no idea how to rationalize Leo joining up with Shredder, despite Bobby asking us to trust him (no offense, Bobby).

But that was mainly just one really hectic incident. Cityfall sounds like it will be the calculated execution of many thought out plans.
