I think maybe "Kitsune" IS her name, though I thought it was just a description of what she was at first. It's a bit of a generic name, though. "Fox".

You sure about that? I didn't notice Saki address her with Kitsune as the name. If that is her name though, is cool.

I'm not sure, which is why in my reviews I usually refer to her as "the Kitsune witch" 'cause I couldn't tell if Kitsune was intended as her proper name or a description of the magical creature she represented.

You sure about that? Because 'dark leo' sounds pretty damn cool to me

I glommed onto his example. We had a million things we couldn't include. Maybe a better example would've been more Utrom stuff.

Never. Post. Tired! (:

Tell me about it! After 9 hours of work and 5 of uni I'm beat. So if anyone notices any incoherencies from my part, it's probably because of that. Apparently fatigue and writing in a foreign language don't go well together. Who knew?

Anyway, I got excited with the whole dark leo thingy since it kind of validated my hopes that Leo would switch teams due to some sort of brainwash or spell, rather than the usual 'goes undercover to gather intel'. But I probably was reading too much into it.

Ok, I'll stop harassing you now

Understandable. It was only a 4 issue mini.

And there was a line -- one of Mateus' -- about the Foot's first mutant (Alopex) being a fox because Shredder specifically wanted it that way. He liked the symbolism. But, really, it didn't work in the scene as well as we'd hoped. Could've been my failings there.

That's pretty cool to know, regardless if it made it onto a panel or not.

Quote:

Still, there are a lot of ideas that should be touched on. Luckily there's many more turtle comics upcoming.

As an example, someone at a con asked me about Masato in the Splinter Micro. Said I should really have explained more about what happened to him. He seemed like a decent guy, how come he wasn't speaking up when Saki was getting crazy (back in TMNT #5?) Why didn't I acknowledge that?

Well, we know what happened to him now, nine months later, in another series. (:

Lotsa shuffling, guys, and especially, lots of hindsight. Nature of the beast. (:

Right, right. I just put too much stock into #4 before reading it.

I love the creative team behind this TMNT universe but after almost 2 years, I kinda wish they'd wrap all this stuff up and put a cap on it, then come right back with a Volume 2.

Anyways, thanks for the input Burnham-san.

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 03-22-2013, 12:56 PM

No offense, but why do we need a vol.2? This isn't mirage, the series can go on indefinitely as long as sales are up.

*ToTheNines* · 03-22-2013, 01:27 PM

We don't need one, I'm just starting to get tired of waiting a year (or longer) to have questions answered. I want them to tell a complete story, maybe take a short break, then come back with a sequel volume.

I think the better solution is to give us a second monthly or even bi-monthly ongoing series. But that's expensive to do.

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 03-23-2013, 12:32 PM

Yeah, I'd love to see a second monthly!

Oy, I just read the previews, and I do actually think her name is Kitsune. As a former anime fan, the name seems kinda blah

still think she's an awesome character though. Maybe her and shredder's daugher's name was Pimiko?

Not to mention the mental blowout it would give Tom to try and write it, on top of the other series and stories he writes for!

*Powder* · 03-23-2013, 08:08 PM

Best part of the IDW series thus far. This would make an amazing film if you just tack on a brawl with Shredder at the end. I wish the whole series had this same tone and artist/writer duo (with all due respect to everyone else who have been amazing too).

Agreed!!!! this has been my favorite arch of the IDW universe!!!!

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 03-25-2013, 07:44 PM

I wonder if they can just point an anti-mutagen gun at Shredder and make him mortal again...

I liked his analogy between playing Mario Brothers and reincarnation better, but I already said somewhere that he's had some of the best lines here of late. Does anyone else literally hear Greg Cipes' voice in their head when he speaks in the comic? I do.

I can see where people found the 2003 cartoon's Michelangelo annoying, I really can, but I think that the IDW series and the Nick cartoon have done a VERY good job with him, like the 2007 movie did.

No matter what I always hear the four turtles as voiced in the '87 cartoon. I guess its just how attached to them as a child I was and thier voices never went away to be replaced in my head since I still to this day hear those voices more than any. Still hearing two Raphs in the Nick cartoon.

Anyway,as for the second title, the micros fill that nicely. A one and done yet connected issue with character focus. Maybe make it a bi-monthy after round three? It would be a nice showcase of IDW and overall independent writers and artist talent on top of the before mentioned. It would also progress the story a bit quicker and easier. I don't want a volume two for a long time. I know comic companies don't care about numbering anymore but I would like to see a TMNT comic reach 76 for once.

I really dont understand all of the hate for 2k3 Mikey if 2k3 mikey is stupid then Nick Mikey must be a GRADE A RETARD. I dont like Nick Mikey at all worse incarnation of him ever.

No, actually, it was pretty funny. It got a laugh out of me and everyone I showed it to. It's very Mikey-like. I'm glad you put it in there.
