F*ck yes. Do you really need to know anything else?

I have bought Infestion 2 #1.
Enjoyed the issue. But that's all. The Lovecraft reference is a bit simple but nice. Makes the story realistic, at least a way to connect all that stuff happening to a real cause. ( or at least to make it seem real in a fictional way )
Will be buying the second issue as well.

but then again, if there were no Turtle Infestation books, i would not be buying the main Infestation 2 book i guess.

I do not know yet if i will be buying the whole Infestation 2 series when it is collected into a trade tho. Maybe...

We should be getting a preview for the first issue pretty soon, right?

Good man! That was sooner than soon! =D

This looks so good! This may be the closest to a TMNT/Hellboy crossover we'll ever get, but I have a feeling I will be more than satisfied! I'm also excited to see the sewers explored a bit more. They are a staple in the turtles' history but aren't examined and used nearly enough.

*ToTheNines* · 03-05-2012, 08:23 PM

This looks great, can't wait to read this. Tristan's got such a great handle on all the characters, and I'm digging Mark's different designs for each of the guys.

Money's still on Mikey for being the one who gets nabbed.

So so true. That's one of my favorite things about Volume 3 #25

Spoiler:

*Donnie* · 03-05-2012, 08:55 PM

Holy crap...wow. The art and colors are fantastic, love the way Torres draws the Turtles. And Tristan...hell yeah dude. The way you write the Turtles is phenomenal. You're a true fan. Can't wait for this!

Raph won't be nabbed...and Leo's getting his in his micro and probably (due to that issue) #10. It's either Don or Mike. I have a bad feeling it'll be Mikey too, actually.

And Don's the narrator of this story... so I'm 99 percent sure it'll be Mike.

Toby Barrett · 03-05-2012, 09:02 PM

I personally think it's gonna be Donatello, the skeptic of the entire situation.

EDIT: Ah, but I didn't think about that Nines, you're probobly right about that.

*ToTheNines* · 03-05-2012, 09:08 PM

Tristan's obviously going for horror on this one, so while the guys losing Don or Leo would definitely but them in an "oh sh*t" mode, taking Mike out of the equation certainly amplifies it the most.

Losing Raph would have almost no impact on me at this point in the game though.

Most agreed. Taking Mikey out of the situation is like "what the f*ck?!"

Edit: To add, I don't think Tristan would take Donnie out - I think he has said he enjoys writing him most.

Am I the only one that noticed the mention of a character previously exclusive to Mirage?

Toby Barrett · 03-05-2012, 09:30 PM

Tristan had mentioned he was adding someone.

In the preview? I didn't notice... spill it!

Toby Barrett · 03-05-2012, 09:40 PM

The newswoman was in an issue of Tales vol. 2.

TristanHuwJones · 03-05-2012, 09:50 PM

So was the cop...

*Andrew NDB* · 03-05-2012, 10:00 PM

Cool stuff!

*CyberCubed* · 03-05-2012, 10:48 PM

Is this story reminding anyone else of the episode, "Darkness at the edge of town?"

junkboy · 03-06-2012, 04:02 AM
