Ask a Question, Get an Answer

[ssjup81]

Hi all. I have a couple of questions. The first one is a story arc question.

In the Archie comics, there's that part of it where the Turtles, Splinter, and Ninjara go to the future to fix things there and all that, as well as saving future Leo and future Mikey. Was there ever a side story focusing on just the future Turtles, and if so, what issue or whatever would it be found it? I found out that Raphael ended up marrying Ninjara's great great grandaughter or something, so I'd like to see if I can look those up and read them since that wasn't mention in the arc that was in the TMNT Adventures comic.

The other is just a random question. In any of the comic mediums, has Donny ever been written with a romantic interest either from his side or someone having an interest in him and his just not noticing? I always wondered that, after going back to the OT series and realizing that out of the four of them, he was the only one who was never romantically linked with anyone or shown to have an interest in anyone or anyone having an interest in him (unless Irma counts for the OT series ), so I was wondering if it was the same way for the comics. I don't have all of the Archie comics or anything nor do I have all of the Mirage (I'll definitely have to search once I get back stateside) and I don't know much of anything about the Image comics.

Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm almost 100% positive he never had a love interest. I can say that for sure of the image volume. Unless there was something in tales. vol. 2 that I missed, he's been the only one without any action in both Mirage & Archie.

That totally sucks, because I'd love to see how a character like Donny's would handle a love interest.

The Dreamland storyarc from the Archie series #62 - 66 were the comic was renamed Cyber Samurai Mutant Turtles, the story focused only on the future turtles. It also had Raph in a relationship with Mezcaal a member of the same fox race as Ninjara although I don't think it was said in the story she was a direct relative of Ninjara unless it was mentioned in an editorial.

It's probably debatable but around the same time in the Terracide arc the Future version of Don seems overly concerned about and protective of Candy Fine and another issue has the present day Don staring at her from across the fire with him showing similar concern for her to his future self. Murphy liked these quasi pairings like Mike and Oyuki, I've always taken it to mean Don liked her.

Although you can see how Don handles romantic feelings in the 4kids series, he had several of them there.

As I remember Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #13 going, the Turtles meet an heiress to the throne of an entire galaxy called Jhanna and help her fend off some assassins. Donatello was the first one to see her and after the battle, Jhanna left behind a piece of her hair for Donatello to find right before she left orbit. Donatello held the hair and looked up in the sky, obviously smitten right back.

I would recommend reading that issue as well as the entire Dreamland arc. Excellent stories.

There was a thread about this, obviously Mezcaal isn't even same species as Ninjara, like Murphy answered in here: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/sho...5&postcount=23

Wow. Learned something new thanks. Although I wouldn't call it obvious, Mezcaal looked like how Ninjara was drawn hence why many fans think she's related and and fox.

I actually always wondered why Mezcaal had so different tail and no "dog-legs" if she was related to Ninjara, but I figured it was because of Mokoshans wolf-genes (the tail I mean.) Obvious after reading Murphys answer, that is.

In a weird way, she could still be descended if Ninjara had mated with someone in Mez's clan way back when and her kit went on to have pups of his/her own.

She may not be Mez's great-grandmother, but in the TMNTA universe I still wouldn't count on them not being related in some form.

I need to know this by tomorrow night, preferrably (I'll let you know why in a minute):


A different artist was originally supposed to perform at the dance club in TMNT II: Secret of the Ooze but was replaced by Vanilla Ice during later rewrites of the script.

It was a female artist, I believe.

Who was it?

[thingy]

According to this thread it was to be Ya Kid K.

Wow, I'm impressed you were able to dig that thread up in the archive! I was really stumped on this. You have impressed me with your forum archival skill!

Hi folks, I've just gotten into reading the Vol 1. Mirage comics in black and white. Of the ones I've read so far, Issues 1 to 7 are absoloutly superb! And I'd like to own these in full color.

I know that the colored ones were released as collected graphic novels, so my question is, which collected volumes do I need to look for, for #1 to #7, and also how much are they likely to cost? I don't want first editions or anything, just the cheapest option possible. I'm a total noob to tmnt comics, so I thought the quickest and easiest option was to post a question on here.

Thanks.

That is PRECISELY the thread I was looking for. I was searching the Movie forum and not the General forum, which is why I couldn't find it. Thanks, chum!

There's a streaming radio show/podcast based in Portland, Oregon called "Sequelcast" and they invited me to record an episode tonight as a guest. The episode, naturally, is a discussion on "TMNT II:Secret of the Ooze".

Since I'm a boring person, I figured I'd try and research lots of facts and trivia about "Secret of the Ooze" and have my notes on hand during the discussion to make it more interesting.

Now, I have to YouTube "Ya Kid K" to see what her music was like. Lord give me strength...

[thingy]

I knew what to look for as I'd been reading that thread only a few days ago. Podcast sounds like it could be interesting, so I'll give it a listen when it comes out.

There were 4 books from First Comics.
Book I - #1-3 + 2 shorts
Book II - #4-6
Book III - #7-9 + 1 short
Book IV - Leonardo + #10 and 11

Prices vary. A quick look at eBay shows them ranging from £12-£30.

Eh, £12-£30 is much higher than the typical American rate. I'd say going rates are anywhere between 99 cents to 15 bucks (US).
For example:
http://cgi.ebay.com/TEENAGE-MUTANT-N...item2c5b82ff31
http://cgi.ebay.com/TEENAGE-MUTANT-N...item2c5b82ffd5
Most used book stores and comic shops would probably sell them in the $10-15 range.

Getting all of them just depends on when they are being sold.

thingy: Cheers man, thanks for the links to the mirage site too! Big help!

oldmanwinters: I'd say he may have included p&p with the price? possibly... But thanks to both of your inputs, I know what to look for now, hopefully I'll find ones with international shipping.

I've asked it before, but I haven't got the clearest answer:


I know that Casey Jones in Down by North East was orginally serialized in black-and-white in Plastron Cafe, then reprinted in color and completed as a two-part mini series. Did they have to change or reformat anything like maybe the serialized version had title pages that had to changed for the color two-part version or something like that?

The first three chapters serialized in Plastron Cafe #1-3 would (according to Mirage's site's page count) would be 23 pages long, but the first color Casey Jones issue is 24 pages long. Did they add in an extra page from Plastron Cafe #4 or something? Much like Casey Jones & Raphael #1 vs. Bodycount #1, this was got me just a wee bit confused.

North by Downeast as serialized in Plastron Cafe was supposed to be 6 parts, but the title got canceled before it could be completed. All my issues are too buried to be able to answer anything about the title pages.

Yeah, I know that.

Anyway, could wilddiverse or Dr. Spengler please answer my question regarding any differences between the serialized version and 2-part miniseries version?
