Something interesting/disturbing...

Well, at least Raph's is being released first.

Okay, with regards to the 5 "prequel" comics...

They do not bridge any sort of gap between old movies and new movie. What they do is give us more of a "back story" to the new movie. That is, they provide us with additional story material that while not pivotal to the story or events of the new movie, are, we hope, interesting back stories (background material) that relate to either the characters or events of the new movie. Does that make sense?

See, there are five prequels, each focusing on a different character. In order of release:

1. Raphael
2. Michelangelo
3. Donatello
4. April
5. Leonardo

(Sorry, Splinter!)

And in addition -- and in varying degrees of tightness or looseness, depending on the issue -- each issue leads in some way to the next, although not in the usual "to be continued" fashion. (Each issue stands alone as a complete one-issue story.) I guess I'm saying that there are secondary elements to each story that carry into subsequent issues.

Anyway, we just sent the solicitation info for each issue to Diamond for their January issue of Previews, for comics coming out in March.

Oh, and all 5 covers fit together to make one wide single image. I don't think we'd ever put 'em together as a poster but... you get the idea.

Oh oh, and the idea that us Mirage folk should have individual blogs on the Mirage website is a great idea. Me, personally, though... I'd rather have and would need an additional hour or two a day! Blogs, at least for me, take a lot of time. I tried one once... and lost it after one mere posting. How pathetic is that?
