Micro-Series #8: Fugitoid. Preview/Discussion - Page 5

This was an amazing issue! I love how all the Turtle Universes are being brought together in a way that does not seem forced. The IDW Turtles just surpassed the Mirage Turtles as my favorite version!

Sorry Hob, you left it wide open for me

Seriously, I was not aware and you have a new subscriber

Shredder has a metal mask in this issue.

Bobby, Bobby, Bobby; what are we going to do with you?

*Redeemer* · 09-13-2012, 08:11 PM

Well I have to say another great issue, amazing plot twist in this issue.

Spoiler:

Good job Idw cast!!!! I can't wait to get back into the ongoing seires!!!

*Plasticplayhouse* · 09-13-2012, 08:54 PM

This was one of the best issues to date. The writing, art, and plot were all superb!

That's definitely a gaffe that could have been saved even at the coloring level, but I wouldn't cost the otherwise awesome issue any points over it.

Coming in late (my copy only arrived Wednesday), as soon as I saw the panel where Honeycutt mentioned the damaged voice box, I was like "oooooh... don't tell me that he is really..." and yeah. At that moment it twigged.

(and now, I can read back through the rest of this thread)

So I presume Honeycutt/Chet is the reason that the Foot were able to get in and out of Stockgen without much issue?

Obviously I have to give props to the guy for his assumed surname being the same as mine

So I liked this one. I really did, but this series maybe turning to Fred Wolf.

I disagree. You are simply seeing more Fred Wolf elements at work, but they were always there. The Mirage and 2003 cartoon influences haven't weakened either.

*Chris* · 09-22-2012, 03:09 PM

Really great issue.

It was great seeing the Technodrome and I can't wait to see where that plot thread goes.

Loved the revised origin for Fugitoid. It had just enough of the classic origin but so much more emotional weight (and the twist was fantastic too, congrats to anyone who actually managed to guess that!)

I love these micros, they're just adding so many great plot elements and characters to the universe. It really does feel like "Ultimate" TMNT.

Oh, and the kid in me loved seeing gold Fugitoid! Brought back memories of the original figure

junkboy · 09-22-2012, 05:12 PM

The first page REALLY made me remember the good old Tales of TMNT days.
and sigh a bit... ( for a moment i was going to put aside the comic and go to the other room to open my boxes for reading some Tales of TMNT )
But it was a nice issue.
I do not know if i am happy with "that much" old toon elements are going into the comic but i guess it was inevitable.
Still waiting for the almighty Triceratons.

My fave Micro issue following Leo's...

Just read this issue and what a great one it is, leading up to the cliffhanger at the end. We have Neutrinos that are basically distinguishable by their "cat-ears". The mention about war, terrorism, and genocide sums up the modern day Earth's problems and present a threat when the Technodrome is mentioned. Too bad Granitor is only a Seargeant in this version instead of a Lieutenant, though it's great to see his first appearance since the Arcade Game.

IDW Fugitoid reeks C-3PO more than any other, from the gold-covered body to having a more theoretical mind to of course his body being torn apart and re-assembled.

I agree with Casey's comment about how fighting evil is never easy, since you must have great courage and sacrifice to conquer it.

it was a coloring gaffe. if you look close, shredders mask and the cloth face covers of the foot are drawn identical. if it was colored the same as the cloth it would then appear to be cloth.

a small zit in what is otherwise a great issue. just pretend he put on a metal plate for that one day because he forgot to brush.

Ha, I'm still waiting to read this one. I am disappointed I couldn't land a David Peterson cover, but I guess I'll settle for the Paul McCaffrey variant. Peterson did post some of his work progress on his blog:
