Writer of Fugitoid talks! - Page 2

PaulAllor · 08-31-2012, 02:06 PM

Jeez, does this guy ever shut up?

PaulAllor · 08-31-2012, 02:09 PM

And thanks, FoxZerro! I appreciate it. I actually have a few more interviews that should be up in the next few days, including one which will have some preview pages.

I'm about to leave town and be off the Internet until tomorrow afternoon, but I'm looking forward to speaking with people about this issue after it comes out. This has been an awesome opportunity.

(oh, and -- hi, my name's Paul, and I wrote the Fugitoid issue. Just in cast people are wondering what I'm rambling about).

TomWaltz · 08-31-2012, 02:12 PM

Fantastic interview! Great questions and entertaining answers!

Thanks for sharing, Andrew.

Hi Paul welcome to the 'Drome. Can't wait to read your issue and then address every little problem I had with it to you directly now that you've made your presence known.

Enjoy your internetless weekend

*Powder* · 08-31-2012, 03:11 PM

Now that's an interview! Good stuff. & Welcome aboard, Paul!

strugler · 08-31-2012, 09:22 PM

As someone who already read the Fugitoid microseries (But for obvious reasons, will not talk about it) I can tell you that it IS FANTASTIC and easily the best micro series to date.

I can guarantee that this issue will be the subject of many forum threads after its release!

Talk to you all on Wednesday, as i will NOT post a review until the issue comes out, since i do not want to spoil anything and reduce the enjoyment of reading such a great comic.

Ok, IDW. Hi, Kevin "Jester" McGill here. I write for the www.GoGreenMachine.org blog run by TMNT uber-fan Stephan "Archon Turtle" Reese (no relation to Kyle.) Is there anyway I could get in on this early review stuff? You've seen that I have a relatively good grasp of grammar and syntax, and I'd do you guys justice if you let me preview and review your fine work.

Just saying....

*Powder* · 09-01-2012, 01:31 AM

^ He's more fit than a lot of the others who get these pre-release books, & that's not bias speaking. Give the guy a shot.

I'm not sure if you've ever reviewed comics, but they send you a pdf of the book a week before release. Actually, I'm surprised GGM doesn't get one to review each month!

Lampy · 09-01-2012, 02:15 AM

i just noticed that there's a lot of Pauls working on this issue. cool!

I have for GGM. I've reviewed a couple of the Turtle Soup anthologies and a Mirage issue that was previewed for us.

But.....what about that Fugitoid? I can't wait to see how IDW re-imagines this classic character. I also wonder how Peter will like it, considering he sees the 'Toid as his baby, and rightfully so.

yea... i'm looking forward to this fugitoid issue too and how peter will feel about it. i'm sure he'll have more than a few words to say about this. i can't wait for this book though... especially since it has krang in it.

Your name would be Kevin...

Seriously though you do have some great insight and it would be nice if you could be included in the pre-release goodness. Especially since you write for GGM.

BentonGrey · 09-01-2012, 10:54 PM

Awesome! Thanks for the interview, it was definitely an interesting read. I'm looking forward to seeing the IDW version of the Fugitoid...I wonder if I can talk one of my artists into creating the Fugitoid for my Turtles mod....hmm...

Anyway, it definitely seems like the IDW guys have put together a good team to be working on these books. Having a passion for these characters and settings is important. Also, I really appreciate how the IDW folks stop by here to talk with the fans. That's great guys, thanks.

So, has there been any word on what awaits after #8?

*Andrew NDB* · 09-02-2012, 01:05 AM

Oh man, you guys are in for a hell of a story with Fugitoid. It may actually be the very best IDW micro-series ever, and I daresay it trumps the original Fugitoid comic!

Wait....Andrew prefers this to a MIRAGE book? It has to be good.

You know I love you Andrew. You only roast the ones you love.

*Andrew NDB* · 09-02-2012, 02:08 AM

I'm not kidding, this one actually had me riveted. Credit where it's due.

*Powder* · 09-02-2012, 05:24 AM

That's extremely exciting to hear. Fugitoid is a favorite of mine, so I've been a been cautious... Especially considering I really don't like his new design.

Someone must have gotten killed/maimed!

Just kidding! But now I'm even more fired up! Fugitoid has always been one of my favorite TMNT/Mirage characters.
