Hmm I wonder what story arc is one of the most important in the turtles history and spans enough issues to warrant a big trade paper back?

(Sigh) Maybe someday...

Well the Forever War got sliced up. Aside from us never getting it, it was originally planned to be 5 issues and Murph decided to only do 3. If I remember correctly it was supposed to be out at the end of the year. Let's not forget the Mirage figures. We might still be getting the turtles but the rest are canceled. Also the second wave of NECA figures got canned. Andrew pretty much nailed the rest of the stuff. Kinda sad really. The whole reason turtles is 25 gets shoved aside.

From what I understood the 3 issues are (where?) going to be double-sized so the actual story actually should be a little longer than the originally planned 5 issues, page wise.

Steve has told me that "The Forever War" is officially cancelled.

I (reluctantly) hope you have something to back that up...

I'm not on trial.

The sad thing is if Murphy was really serious about the project, it would have been completed last year like it was originally intended.

People forget this was supposed to come out in 2008.

Biggest dissapointment of the year for me comic wise is this news.
This has been a really awesome f'in' year *sarcasm*

**Jester** · 11-03-2009, 10:03 PM

Is there any other fandom that has so much promised that never materialized?

Forever War. Scrapped.
TMNT Forever. In limbo...maybe.
Vol. 4. Unfinished.
Tales. Ending Soon.
Trades. No Dice.
Source Book. Nada.
