Oh. My. Garsh.

I can't believe what just happened (well... I guess we've all seen it coming but still!). Wow, turncoat indeed!

Spoiler:

Really looking forward to this shocking conclusion, Tony.

As a grammar nit-pick, I think "has-been" is spelled with a hyphen as opposed to "has been" with a space.

Also, LOVE Krang's expression on the last panel.

Yeah, get off that computer and get to work, man!

The world can wait for Turtle Turncoat, as it has for the last ten years!

I read the rest of the story to get into the larger scope of things. I love the story. It's kinda weird cause it follows the old show, but it takes it to a more realistic approach. It's its own canon but still follows most of the season 3 stuff, in terms of both Raphael being tired of saving April and defeating Shredder all the time... and also Shredder being tired of being trated like a flunkie to Krang all the time. Excellent story-telling cause anyone that seen the old show know what it's all about.

This is kinda weird, but I wonder why we love seeing the Turtles get ripped apart as a team and as a family sometimes. Image comics might have gotten carried away, but we were fascinated by all the mutilations. Mutant Ninja Turtle Gaiden had Leo kill Splinter (under sttange circumstances, mind you) and the family drift violently apart. And now Turtle Turncoat had Raph take his anger so far that the other 3 Turtles beat the **** out of him and now he's sided with Shredder. Even the CGI movie had Leo leave the team to train and come back to find the team in shambles and heavy friction between him and Raph.

Weird, but it still fascinates us. Also cause we're hoping they eventually overcome all odds and get back into being a team again.

Back when I first discovered Turtle Turncoat around 2001 through a link off of Dawnatello's Fan Site, I felt like the comic was set in the Old Toon universe but the characterizations reminded me a lot of the first movie (Raph and Casey especially).

So, Tony, was that pretty much your inspiration at the time? Back in 2001, the cartoon and movies were pretty much the only conception a lot of us had of the Turtles outside of the Mirage and Archie comics.

*Powder* · 10-29-2009, 12:03 AM

wow what a twist!

*Coola Yagami* · 10-29-2009, 12:15 AM

Cool, so this comic was made before 2K3? Awesome. I see lots of videogame references there too.

Tony Day · 11-12-2009, 04:30 PM

Hi... back from the dead... there i was, all set to finish part 2 and I go and get hospitalised with swine flu! (I am officially the sickest person alive!)
Yeah so, Ive just got back tonight, still recovering... but, hopefully i can get on with some colouring. Alan's finished the final narration too

I got my inspiration from three sources. The original (and best season of the old toon. The first (amazing classic) movie and the first arcade game which I have lots of fond memories of.

Shame Turtles in Time wasn't as good, the old toon drawing went slowly down hill and enough said about the turtle movie sequels the better!

(thats just my opinion for whats its worth)

I guess your talking about the first season of the Turtles am I right? I love that season the best also. The show kinda went overboard on the wacky stuff after that season and the animation wasn't as good after that either but then again if I remember correctly Toei animation did the animation of the first season and the first opening so its hard to compete with that.

Ho ho!

That battle ended a bit prematurely!

Spoiler:

Tony Day · 11-14-2009, 08:29 PM

Yeah i know. i had always planned to get him outta the way quick, I've always preferred granitor to tragg anyway so thats y i used him more.

As for the foot soldiers, it was more like it was only tragg left in dimension x and u were supposed to think all the shadows behind him in the portal were standard rock soldiers, but they were in fact more of shredders army.
That scene where he comes through the portal and get his head lobbed off was supposed to be slightly comical too....

anyway thats nothing, wait to u see what happens on the next page

Should be completed by tommorow... after that theres only two more pages to go.
