Good morning friends!

I know a number of you are concerned about the Forever War releases in light of the recent "Doom and Gloom" atmosphere surrounding the 25th anniversary. Well fear not! I got your back!

I had the opportunity this morning to breifly speak with Steve Murphy about The Forever War releases. And the response was simple, yet encouraging:

The Forever War is still on track. The first issue is scheduled for release September 2009. 5 monthly issues in all.

So there you go my little Archie friends! Hope this brings a little sunshine to your stormy turtle world.

I never read Archie, and even I'm excited as hell about this.

**Machias Banshee** · 10-17-2008, 02:59 PM

Wonderful news!!

It's been what, ten years since the last issue? I was in MIDDLE school when I read that sneak peek on the last page. I'm so looking forward to seeing this...

Buffy · 10-17-2008, 03:57 PM

I'm so thrilled about these upcoming issues. I grew up with the Archie comics so these new releases mean a lot to me.

*Raph's Girl* · 10-17-2008, 04:05 PM

September?! But...but...I thought it would be out in May?! *twitches*

And Machias: It's currently been 13 years not 10.... 14 years come 09. The last issue of TMNT Adventures was in 1995.

*CyberCubed* · 10-17-2008, 04:31 PM

God, that's almost a full year from now. I thought it would be soon.

But given we've already waited like 10 years for this story, I guess another won't hurt.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-17-2008, 04:48 PM

Will the new stories be set right after. If, I hope they will describe 1995 as it was and not as today. Like we're going to see the World Trade Center and modern Internet being int it's childhood. I hate misstakes like watching a cowboy/western film, set in the 19th century, and suddenly an aeroplane is seen in the skies.

*Roseangelo* · 10-17-2008, 07:04 PM

Yup, this alone is what next year is all about for me.

*Eiko* · 10-17-2008, 11:17 PM

Yes finally been looking forward to this for how long has it been now 12 years i can,t wait.

I feel the exact same way.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-18-2008, 06:36 AM

I hope it will be a succcess and be followed by new stories.

*Rooish* · 10-23-2008, 12:22 PM

I never got around to reading Archie, but it seems very gritty and cool. I like the idea of the future Turtles. But I'm wondering--could someone briefly describe why Future Don and Raph seem to be so much more in the series than Leo or Mike? Like ... do Future Leo and Mike have a role?

Yes, to a degree. Future Leo and Future Mike appeared in 2 storylines (Future Shark Trilogy, and Cyber Samurai). While Future Don and Future Raph were the ones to do the time-travelling.

Frankly not a huge fan of Archie either.
But really looking forward to that.

Aw, too bad. Archie's TMNT Comic has some great stuff.

Did you read a lot of Archie stuff back in the 1990's? Archie rocked.

junkboy · 10-23-2008, 06:03 PM

I just read a few of the Archie universe titles. So in fact i have the plan of getting some back issues when i finish buying the back issues of some Mirage TMNT and some other stuff.

Also, future Raphael's lost one of his eyes during a fight. I think you shall read Archie, since the comics rocked.

*odupianist* · 10-24-2008, 08:17 AM

Future Leo and Future Mike were in the Future Shark Trilogy. Future Raph even mentions how he loses an eye, but it doesn't go into much detail.
