Tales of the TMNT #70 (Final issue) - Page 6

*ToTheNines* · 05-07-2010, 12:04 PM

Aces, can't wait to get this one now.

To correct Dan, this is the second Tales issue with a flip cover. #40 had two quite different covers.

It did? I'll have to go back and check, but I'm away from my collection at the moment. Anybody got a handy scan?

Lol I was thinking the same thing. That was a cool cover though!

A side by side comparision of a page, Lawson's pencils & Talbot's inks

Thats just wicked that they took up on the cover dressing from the RTNY book covers.

*Ninjinister* · 05-07-2010, 09:41 PM

Any idea what day it drops?

*Powder* · 05-07-2010, 10:50 PM

It's getting picked up the 17th so I assume a week from that date.

*Andrew NDB* · 05-07-2010, 11:12 PM

I want to say "I can't wait"... but then this issue's arrival portends the end of Tales of the TMNT. So I don't want to say it.

I wish they could have at least made it to 100 issues, maybe some day we can get a tmnt comic that goes that far.

As far as I'm concerned, the Mirage universe is on TMNT #205.

*CyberCubed* · 05-08-2010, 11:08 AM

Volume 2 should have never started back at #1.

Volume 2 should have continued at #63. I know they restarted because it was in full-color, but looking back that should have just continued from Volume 1's count.

Its understandable why Image and Volume 4 went back to #1, simply due to it being a new series and the gap between when the previous ones ended. And switching from Mirage to Image, back to Mirage.

I think I will come to own this issue because of that cover. The Return to NY books always stood out because of those covers. 'Book 1.5'...I love it.

*Cipher* · 05-08-2010, 06:24 PM

Surprised no one's mentioned it yet, but dig those squiggly-ass panel borders. Nice little nod to the early issues.

"Squiggly-ass"?

*CyberCubed* · 05-09-2010, 02:40 PM

I'm going to buy two of this issue. Why?

I'll place one in my "Volume 1" collection, as in next to RTNY Pt. 1 but before Pt. 2.

Meanwhile my second copy will be put with my "Tales" collection, as #70.

That way I can display both covers and put them at both parts of where they should be.

Okay, so I've been more articulate before.

Just curious, but why not just arrange your whole Mirage universe TMNT comic collection in chronological order?

Barring things like mini or backup stories in issues, of course.

That's what I do, much more convenient.

I flirted with the idea, but was afraid that my eyes may explode with the mess it would look. I like my issues in proper order.

I've known this for a while, I love Lawsons' early volume 4 stuff.

Have you seen my collection thread? I think it looks fine.
