There is the link to the story and it looks like we will at least be getting two issues of the new TMNT from Tristian! Should be fun, I enjoyed their last cross over so hope this one is as much fun.

I was hoping Tristan to write in a mini series of his own if not for the main series, not for an event related title. I am not a big fan of events.
Still will be getting Infestation main issues and TMNT related issues ofc.

TristanHuwJones · 10-12-2011, 03:25 PM

Just so you know, I started writing this before I knew what the core event was. You won't HAVE to read the Infestation books if you only want the Turtles one, but there are some amazing writers attached there, so they could be great!

junkboy · 10-12-2011, 03:41 PM

Well at least the main topic of Infestation 2 is something i would like.
All those Lovecraftian stuff.
As i said i will be buying the main Infestation books and I guess i will be buying Ghostbusters-related books too.

It will be great to read your work again Tristan, btw.

*Powder* · 10-12-2011, 05:32 PM

Not huge on the idea of the story, but Tristan's great so I'm sure that will make up for anything I'm not hip to.

TristanHuwJones · 10-12-2011, 06:03 PM

I'm trying to channel as much Hellboy and BPRD as possible with a twist of Alien. What I've written is pretty standalone, but the people who've stuck with me will see some things here and there that others won't

LeoNerdo · 10-12-2011, 06:23 PM

Sounds kinda cool. I ignored the first infestation cause I had kinda stopped reading IDW books when I got bored w/ Transformers. But I may check out some of the other stuff now that TMNT & Ghostbusters have me hooked.

*Andrew NDB* · 10-12-2011, 07:13 PM

Will pick it up, of course. Any teasers you can give us, Tristan?

TristanHuwJones · 10-12-2011, 07:21 PM

As the script stands right now, the known character I have written the least of in the past makes an appearance, as does a new version of someone I created.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 10-12-2011, 07:22 PM

I enjoyed the first Infestation series. I ended up picking up all those books, so I'll be getting this series too. I'm just really excited that we will be having Tristan back on Turtles.

*ToTheNines* · 10-12-2011, 08:13 PM

I saw this on facebook and flipped. So glad to have you back on board, man. How's this artist you're working with?

"Written the least of" means you at least wrote them in a small role correct? Cause there's a lot of known characters you never got your hands on.

I'll guess... Stockman's robot body

Razorback?

Kinda hope this doesn't affect the main TMNT story...

I know it seems odd now since we're still in the middle of the first arc, but give it some time and I'm sure the new IDW universe will be ready for all this interdimensional whackiness.

TristanHuwJones · 10-12-2011, 09:36 PM

It'll actually stand on its own pretty well I think. Tom and Bobby are two of the best dudes anyone could ask to work with and for and have shared a little bit of what is coming up with me, and it's safe to say that this story is going to be something more along the lines of a two part "Tales of the TMNT" story. It fits in, just not quite where it's scheduled to come out, so people who haven't read the ongoing so far can certainly read this without feeling lost. I've also been given a pretty tremendous amount of freedom in terms of creativity, but Bobby's been great at keeping me in check when things go a little wonky.
Mark is an amazingly nice dude, too, and his samples for this story are nothing short of incredible. If you dig Hellboy, you're going to like this.

ToTheNines: This character was involved in a dialogue. And their appearance in this story is about as big as it was in that one, but it's a very different moral standing for them.

HAHA! Not quite...

Although technically, yellow is involved in the character's make-over...

duhril · 10-12-2011, 10:23 PM

Absolutely stoked to see Tristan back on the title! Hopefully this will lead to more stories. Found some art on Mark Torres" Deviant Art page. Me likey!!!

TristanHuwJones · 10-12-2011, 10:24 PM

You beat me to 'em!

*Slap-Happy* · 10-12-2011, 10:39 PM

Infestation was zombies. Is this supposed to be... Cthulhu?

Also, very excited to see you back on a TMNT book Tristan!

EDIT: Alright, so it is Cthullu type stuff. And I'm already feeling the Hellboy vibes from that first peice of art by Torres. Raph is specifically Mignola-esque.

Wow, that fella sure has been making his rounds across the industry of late! Even Darkwing Duck went up against "Duckthulhu" within the past year!
