Ghostbuster is licensed to IDW alongside TMNT being licensed to IDW. Usagi Yojimbo is not being licensed to IDW alongside TMNT. That is the difference that made me believe it might not be in cotinuity.

They said in the panel that the Usagi crossover will be canon
One of them also said that Stump asteroid and black suit Raphael might make an appearance.

This is insane, in the best possible way. Here I thought we would only be getting announcements about stuff we already knew, like the upcoming Pantheon two-parter, Trial of Krang/Dimension X, or the Karai arc in Universe...

IDW TMNT is now the definitive iteration of the franchise. It literally has it all. Months away from becoming the longest TMNT run ever, then celebrating its 75th issue with a big "summer event" arc that will most likely be even better than last year's, the promise of a Triceraton presence in the near future, plus Universe getting better and better, and now this crossover... We're only missing a couple of villains and mutants, who I bet will be introduced eventually if the comic goes on for long enough.

All I can say is, thank you everyone at IDW!

It's really awesome about the TMNT/Usagi crossover!

Now then...where are the trades for Volume 3(Image) and 4 of Mirage??

[CyberCubed]

I find it interesting how much Archie TMNT Adventure stuff is being added lately. We have Jagwar and Dreadmon being introduced finishing up the original roster of Mutanimals, we have Mammoth appearing, we're in the midst of a Mutanimals arc right now with Man Ray getting a lot of spotlight, Null is bound to get a big arc in the future, and now Stump Asteroid?

We're really only missing Armaggon and maybe Malinga. I'd say Verminator-X too, but he'd just be way too similar to Old Hob. They even have the same color cat fur.

I wouldn't mind a bigger role for Wingnut & Screwloose, too. As for Verminator-X, look, he's already missing an eye... There could very well be a nod in the works from the get-go, or even more than that. Still plenty of time for things to unfold, either before or past #100.

And who's to say Maligna isn't already in business with Null, just like in Archie? Both are interdimensional beings, after all...

Iiiiinterestinnnnng. Forever War tease anyone?

[CyberCubed]

I think I recall them saying they wanted all of Archie TMNT to be collected in their trades (or at least up to issue 72) before they even considered The Forever war. The IDW Archie trades are still only collected up to the issue 50's so far.

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

They also confirmed Maligna, and teased a preliminary concept art.

That's it. I'd say I'm outta here, but I don't wanna get out, this is so great. Maligna! Yes!

SERIOUSLY!!???

Somebody please post that concept art. Awesome.

[ProphetofGanja]

Whoa, this seriously surpasses my expectations. I know a Usagi crossover was on the IDW wishlist for a lot of people and I'm glad we're getting one.

I remember the first mention of the TMNTU arc for Karai and the new art from Sophie is amazing. I think I remember hearing that this arc will take place in Japan? Very cool. Although I wonder why the mole mutant's name is Ocho? I guess we'll find out.

I have no idea who Maligna or what the Stump Asteroid is but I'm excited all the same. The IDW Turtles comics are getting really out there, cosmically speaking

[Sophie Campbell]

Here's a bigger image if you guys are interested. They used an older image for the panel, this one is up to date and has another new character, Natsu.

Spoiler:

[CyberCubed]

That new mole mutant looks rather interesting, I wonder where Karai picks him up or mutates him from.

[ChosenOne]

Wow, Ocho looks seriously jacked up... He reminds me of Slash, visually speaking.

Ahh, so cool! The mole (he/she?) is so cute! Very powerful looking too

Are you allowed to say when this will be coming out? Is it the story arc coming after the Dreadmon arc?

I was thinking the same.The heavy hitter of the group. Wind/Fu(Koya), Water/Sui(Bludgeon), Earth/Chi (Ocho). I wonder how that will come into play.

Does Ocho eliminate any use of Grounchuck and Ditbag by extenstion the way that Slash takes up any role of Tokka and by extension Razhar?

Natsu, the leader of the Foot Clan branch in Japan,perhaps?

Ocho is a she, glad you like her! The Karai arc is after Dreadmon, yeah, issues #12-15. I think that places the first issue in July..? #9 is this month, 10 is May, 11 is June. I think?

Yeah. Part of the story involves Koya dealing with not being able to fly anymore.

Will we she her regain the ability or is that too much of a spoiler?
