I wasn't complaining, I'm happy it' coming out.
Hell perhaps I'll scan all the pages in and color them when it comes out.

^^ I'm counting on it.

Disclaimer: I'm buyin' your damn b&w book, Mirage. Therefore, I ain't stealing jack from you. So, don't even think it...

Is anyone else less than impressed with the amount of money Mirage puts into the Turtles? It just feels like they just ride the wave of all the licensing money that comes rolling in, but none of it gets put into anything else.

I know they're spending like $1 million+ on next year's Shellabration stuff, but then how can we still not get five measly color comics?

*gobo* · 06-12-2008, 07:24 PM

Cuz Peter still harbors bitterness towards it? That's my best guess.

**Jester** · 06-12-2008, 09:28 PM

I hope not, Archie owns all. I need to track down all the Future Turtle arcs and read them too. Maybe even do the video thing, if I can up the quality with FX and more pans.

And Rose, does even a little over a Mil on the 25th aniversary seem a bit weak? I mean, it's a "Shell-a-bration" $1 million seems like chump change for such a highlight.

I would say it depends on how they end up spending the money and what they intend on getting out of it. To me it seems like A LOT of money for Mirage to be spending, but I don't know that it'll be able to generate the kind of public awareness that we would probably like to see as fans.

I'm happy with black and white over nothing at all, especially now that Future Shark is so hard to find.

My only disappointment is nothing is said of collecting all of TMNT Adventures, although I guess it's possible to track down most of it if you really want it.

Collecting the entire series in Trade would be just awesome. Even if were in black and white!!

I mean, 72 issues is a relatively short series compared to the likes of the big name superheroes. Imagine, 15 issues per trade, 5 trades. Maybe one more to cover Mutanimals. All black and white to lower cost, and perhaps one color trade featuring all 72 covers. At the end will be the black and white Forever War, and there we go!

Honestly, the writing became so fluid as the series went on, that while I applaud and am excited about a limited issue Trade to support Forever War, so many stories intermingle that the whole series would be worth a trade.

I'm thankful I have all 72 issues. But let's be real ... who else wouldn't be able to resist buying all issues in trade, regardless of what we own?

Maybe someday, yknow? at the 50th anniversary

Or if Forever War sells really well...

I own all 72 issues as well but if they would be put in TPB's I would buy them all in a heartbeat. Gimme gimme gimme!

*odupianist* · 06-13-2008, 07:51 AM

I own all of them as well. Even though it's only 72 issues, there were a lot of good stories in those 72 issues that really made it a phenominal series.

Indeed, amount of issues definitely doesn't matter.

*Raph's Girl* · 06-13-2008, 10:56 AM

I have all the TMNTA books too and I'd totally buy them in B&W. Im a TMNTA fan thru and thru and to have varients is ok in my book. Im totally gonna buy Forever War. I've seen how it would look like in B&W as one of the Mirage Mini stories is a B&W TMNTA story that involves Cuddly! It actually looks pretty good IMO.

This is probably the reason why I won't buy this. I have been rereading a lot of my old Archie books lately too, and man, those speaches annoy the heck outta me.

It's not that I'm particularly anti-environmentalism either, but I just don't care for anything where someone else's ideas get crammed down my throat. There are just too many times where the story is totally broken by some out of place little factiod/propaganda about how we need to save the rainforests or something.

Yeah it's not like part of the midwest is really under water at the moment or anything.

Yeah. It's also not like this the type of flood that has never occured at any other point in history. I'm not trying to start any debate about environmentalism or anything. I'm just saying that I didn't like how the old Archie comics artificially added this theme to almost every single comic.

I also hate it when other people's ideas are crammed down my throat, but I honestly don't feel that way when I read the Archie books. They really aren't preachy. It's presented more like, "Here's what IS happening in the rain forests, take this information and do with it what you will."

The Turtles traveled around the world and as they did so they learned about the challenges being faced in those places, and so the reader learned the same. I know it worked wonders on me as a kid, giving me a certain level of global awareness that I wouldn't have otherwise had at that age.

Me too! Ah what a good comic.
