Sorry DK2, but as to what Dan is talking about there, I have zero clue

Because it would actually require working.

If the comics ends then what is Mirage's source of income, just the merchandize from the cartoon?

Do all the guys like Jim Lawson, Murphy, Dan, etc. rely on the comic for income?

The comic doesn't make money; Mirage's only source of revenue has been licensing rights for a long time. It's pretty easy money.

"Hey, can we give you a bunch of money to put pictures of Ninja Turtles on pajamas?!"

"OK!"

"Can we give you a bunch of money to NOT publish books with Ninja Turtles?!"

"BRING IT ON!"

Lawson, yes. Murphy, not completely. His main job is with licensing, but the money he gets for the comic book work he does do doesn't hurt. Dan's main job is the Web site, but the extra comic book money also can't hurt.

I read this issue and thought it wasn't bad. Looking back into the Fugitiods background was neat to see. The one thing I have to say was the art style. Spazzy, squished looking, exagerated artwork is very hard to look through.
Roseangelo thats funny that you said the lost "Art of Mirage" book would require Peter Laird to work.
Thanks for the reponse Tristan.

Well, the story was good. Good fun. Never been really married to the character of Fugitoid, but I've never minded catching up with him either over the years.

Now I hate to say it but the style of art here, though, just didn't seem to mesh with the story at all and, at more times than not, made it a chore for me to get through. But I did enjoy.

I barely heard of Fugitoid 'til I picked up a bunch of Mirage about 8 years ago, and I never really got to read most of 'em more than once, but it's a neat character. The new 'toon eps fleshed him out a bit for me, I think. I dug the issue, I always like "secret origin" kinda stuff (except when April turns out to be... ehhh, what's the point anymore...), so I dug this issue.

I wanna see Fugitoid and Hank Henshaw/Cyborg Superman have a philosophical discussion about the nature of human intelligence/cyborg body existence. Written by Grant Morrison.

HA, no I don't.

Oh, jeeze. I...I think I kind of do.

It'd be cool, for sure, but there doesn't seem to be much love for GM these days...

Well,
I finally got this issue and while the art is decent in it's own way certain things bothered me or took me awhile to figure out what exactly was going on.
The biggest problem I found with the art was that the size of the Turtles heads kept changing shape.
But for me this issue wasn't about the art it was the deep story of something that never really crossed my mind before.
Making Fugitoid wonder if his mind went into the robot or if it's just a copy, and looking into himself really made this one of the best issues in a long time for me.
I'd definitely enjoy some sort of new Fugitoid mini series.

That's the same conclusion I took from the book. Very deep story that really gave the Fugitoid mythos a new twist.
