I'll spill more beans in the beginning of the new year.

I know exactly what you're talking about. Because I've had the same conversation.

Vol. 3 was cancelled unceremoniously over ten years ago and then ditched by Mirage as "non canon". Andrew's project has approval and consultation from Gary Carlson, the guy who wrote the series, as well as input from several other freelancers who worked for Mirage.

Vol. 4 has had it's latest issue released as recently as this year. And even if nothing was done for ten years, do you honestly think Laird would give his approval or input into a fan-project like this? Not a chance.

Carlson's participation gives this project a level of legitimacy. Anything done with Vol. 4 would just be fanfiction.

I don't think the two situations are comparable or, at the very least, let's give Vol. 4 ten years before we start up the "fan completion" bandwagon.

Whats more disapointing is the art for the next two issues of Vol. 4, #31 & #32 are done, yet they'll never see the time of day to be finished in the other departments to complete the comics. Peter just put everything on hiatus for now. Why can't he at least bring out these two issues? I thought #31 would've been that close to coming out when Peter earlier this year seemed in the push to get going on the title again. Then got the art for #32 to start. Is it that much to ask? He can go on his hiatus after that. Its like a comic thats half done. Two issues of Vol. 4 would fill our appetites for now.
But I don't blame him either as he wants to alienate himself from the TMNT for the time being.

*CyberCubed* · 12-23-2009, 11:05 AM

Well its Christmas time now, give Peter some chance after the New Year. Even if we get only one or two issues of Volume 4 a year, I guess its better than nothing.

Since there are also only 5 Tales issues coming out next year, this Image 2-parter will help fill some gap of no TMNT comics.

Its a shame that we're looking at a near future with no TMNT comics at all for a while.

More than that, like 8 months ago it was posted on Peter's blog was that a proof for #31 was already printed... that it's print run would be made wihin days.

My theory is that he wants to wait until he's got a bunch of them done and sitting on them, then will release them out on a regular schedule.

*Brodie* · 12-23-2009, 07:01 PM

I dont know if this is a side note, considering what the current conversation topics may be, but I wanted to say that I think this is a pretty cool idea.

You guys got some ambition to get this off the ground, I'm really excited to see what comes about.

If/when you guys get around to finishing/printing, I'd dig a copy, and I'd gladly donate to help with printing costs. If for nothing else than to have a kind of neat pice of what might be obscure TMNT history later on down the line.

Good on you.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-24-2009, 12:29 PM

Here's something someone can help on that I need and I'm not sure I'd be best qualified to do (though I can if I have to), if someone is so inclined:

LETTERERS!

Can anyone digitally letter the comics in a style reminiscent of the Image comics? I found some plugins for Photoshop that do the balloons and such but it still seems a little dodgy to me.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-25-2009, 01:13 AM

As far as donations go, I wouldn't bat any away if folks want to Paypal some to [email protected]

Current state: #24's script has gone through Ross, it's gone through Gary, and already a few pages have been drawn up by Powder. #25's script is done and is presently with Ross.

Also, I can promise there will be a couple of fun surprises in store.

Buffy · 12-25-2009, 02:32 PM

Sounds great! Can't wait for the result.

Very cool. Nice to see this project is continuing to move forward. This might be a bit early but where do you stand with the covers? I'm eager to see Fosco's work as well getting started with my own rendition.

Don't mean to be impatient but if nothing else, it shows my interest hasn't waned.

*Andrew NDB* · 12-26-2009, 01:46 AM

Here's a nice Christmas treat, for me and for you guys... a "rough pencils" look at Frank Fosco's cover for Image TMNT #24.

*Powder* · 12-26-2009, 01:49 AM

Yes tell me you ****ers dont love that

*Andrew NDB* · 12-26-2009, 01:54 AM

I must admit, I mean... I knew this was coming, but seeing this tonight I feel like a kid in the comic store 10-11 years ago.

Nitpickers will notice that Leo's stump is on the wrong hand. But it'll be fixed.

Buffy · 12-26-2009, 05:12 AM

Very cool!

Let's just say; I feel more prone to masturbate to this, than the TMNT porn-comic.

Ash · 12-26-2009, 01:20 PM

Is that brand new or something that was drawn just before cancellation? Interesting that it's drawn on Image branded paper/card.

Brand new, just drawn last night. I'm assuming he has a surplus of Image branded paper/card because... he still works for Image -- he has an Ethrian backup appearing in Savage Dragon every month.

*DrSpengler* · 12-26-2009, 06:48 PM

Alright, that's pretty kickass, right there.

I haven't read the Image issues all the way through in quite a while. I'm gonna try and go through them all and review them for my site one at a time and hopefully finish before this issue comes out.

I've already gotten the Savage Dragon crossovers out of the way, now its just pure Vol. 3 to get through...

Mindy · 12-26-2009, 07:01 PM

I love it!!

Eager to see even more.

*CyberCubed* · 12-26-2009, 08:17 PM

Ah, so Pimiko is going to be in this two-parter as well?

I wonder what happens to her at the end.

It'd be weird if she wasn't. Her closing line of dialogue in what was the final issue of Image TMNT, #23: "Tomorrow we'll show the Foot Clan what a poor decision it made today!"
