Raphael: Bad Moon Rising 02

*Raph's Girl* · 08-14-2007, 04:52 PM

Preview is up for the issue but unfortunatly it's gonna be a bit delayed.

Here's what Dan Berger says:

Raphael #2 is still at the printers, so it's going to be late barring some sort of distribution miracle. Sorry, folks!

But at least we were notified beforehand that it was delayed....unlike say the folks at Marvel and DC who never notify when a comic is delayed.

I'm glad cause the comic shop owner I went to yesterday said it was sold out. God I'm never going to a comic store again. Morons work there.

I used to get that all the time.

"Do you guys have Tales of the TMNT #26?"

"Let me check." pause. "Nope, all sold out!"

"Hmm, OK, thanks."

So next month, try again, this time on ****ing Wednesday -- which is the day comics arrive at comic stores here in the U.S., right around noon. Place couldn't have been open more than a couple hours, tops. "Did you guys get Tales of the TMNT #27?"

"Hold on, let me check." pause. "Sold out, sorry!"

At this point I was pretty much furious. I wanted to call him a ****sucker and hang up the phone, but settled on speaking to the store owner. Turns out they never even carried Tales of the TMNT to begin with, thus making it impossible for them to be "sold out" of something they don't even put on their shelves.

Anyway, moral of the story is just set up a pull list/box at your local comic store. No fuss, no problems, no buying comics on the seat of your pants wondering if it'll even be on the shelves by the time you get down there.

I would but my store won't let me unless I have 5 titles or more and I only read turtles.

I'll deal with getting them online.

Exactly I don't know how many times we have to say thise seriously lol
So many comic shop owners are just like the guy on the simpsons how do you think that character even got created.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-15-2007, 09:13 AM

I'm sorry, but this looks even worse than #1. Whose stupid idea was "Bad Moon Rising" anyway?

I just wanted a nice four-issue miniseries of Raph and Casey whipping butt. But werewolves and eyeball thingies? Aw, gimme a break...

Oh well.

BTW, nice avatar, Raph's Girl.

*Roseangelo* · 08-15-2007, 09:17 AM

I like that it's a Raph and Shadow story (c'mon, Raph and Casey is so overused), but I would have preferred something more like the Paris story to this.

Re a Raph/Casey mini - They already did one of those in the 90's called Bodycount (altho it was initially just called Casey Jones and Raphael). The first issue was done by Mirage, the rest done by Image. It's the most bloody and gory TMNT series you'll ever read. Raph and Casey vs the Yakuza. Good stuff.

As for my avatar...thanks...I've used it before...decided to try it out again.

But anyways....I like that it's a story about Shadow.. There's only a couple other stories that are Shadow centric...she's one of my fave characters.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-15-2007, 09:28 AM

I like Shadow, too, but Tales #7 and 12 have been a little too bizarre for my taste. I did like them both, however--they're just not what I'm used to or my favorites.

As for Bodycount, love it. I've read Raph & Casey #1... This is exactly what Raph is about. I want more of it!!!

*Buslady* · 08-15-2007, 10:02 AM

I wanted a complete Raph SOLO...that's what I was expecting.
Not Raph ACCOMPANYS other characters...from the previews of the 2nd part it looks like all he is is the muscle. Can't they show him using his brains once in awhile? He's not a moron.

Yeah seriously it's 3 ladies and a little turtle.

They were all "done by" Mirage. The first one or two were published by Mirage as "Casey Jones & Raphael," then when Mirage shut down for a while Image/Highbrow republished 1-2, then also 3 & 4 all as "Body Count."

Anyone know if this came out today? I didn't get over to the comic shop.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-22-2007, 11:08 PM

Direct negatory.

The latter.

Though for a green fix, "Green Lantern Corps" #15 that came out today was awesome.

No... It's not out. Dan said it would be delayed. So Im hoping it's out next week. I'll find out tomarrow (friday) for sure tho.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-24-2007, 05:45 PM

Ok... Midtown's saying it's out on Wednesday (Aug 29th).

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 08-24-2007, 08:21 PM

I was wondering why I haven't gotten a call asking why I haven't picked my comic up. August 29th...this is good to know

*Roseangelo* · 08-29-2007, 07:40 PM

Anyone get?
