Yeah, I would assume so. My guess is the sites where they are normally posted were just down for the Friday after Thanksgiving. My progress report has them both on sale next week. (not sure how they both landed on the same week, but there you have it)

Thanks for answering, look forward to seeing them back.

As a follow-up question, is the initial trade going to just be issues 0 to 2 or will it be expanded to 5 as well, or are 3 to 5 going to be in their own trade?

Obviously 3 to 5 in a second trade.

3 issues.

Just seems strange that only three issues make up a trade, especially as there's a through-line with the stories that presumably will conclude in issue 5.

Oh, thank Stan Lee! I was worried there for a second. Thanks!

Hey, Bobby! Is there any way Tristan Jones could get a chance to finish the story he started in Tales of the TMNT once Urban Legends is wrapped? I happened to mention it on Facebook and he expressed interest!

If this isn't your department, I apologize. If you could let me know who I should contact, I'd really appreciate it!

*neatoman* · 11-29-2018, 08:00 AM

How did you guys settle on "Bishop is a fetus-man"? It's quite different from the old "replacement clone bodies" version from the cartoon.

Unlikely, but maybe one day!

The complete answer to that is tied to some story elements that are still to come, but something I can say now is that we enjoyed the irony of this guy who hates non-humans using non-human tech to stay alive. The Utrom suit was the thing that best suited that criteria while providing a surprise.

Hey Bobby,

It seemed that you and Tom leaned heavily into story elements from Ch'rell / the Utrom Shredder from 4Kids in the story arc... the decapitation, the reveal of what somebody really is...

I'd love to see this go towards Bishop cloning a real human body for himself down the road. And maybe even some "Insane in the Membrane" goodness?

Is Bishop's middle name his father's name?

I can't recall off hand. I don't think so? But I could very easily be misremembering.

Could we see any big plot twist of old charters from some early comics. Or even a bigger threat that we have not seen yet. And why did slash have to go out with a bang .

Old character from Mirage or from early in our run? Either way, probably can't say for fear of spoilers.

We all hate Slash here and were very eager to see him gone. (I'm kidding! We all love Slash. Just how the story is unfolding for us I suppose!)

*neatoman* · 11-30-2018, 10:52 AM

About the explosion, how big was it? They must have gotten him pretty far out, even the earliest nukes could wipe Washington DC off the map.

Just wondering, because since his dad's name is Wayne and John's middle initial is W... sometimes kids' middle names are their parents' names (I know more than a few)... and that would make him John Wayne Bishop
