Since I'm getting into the new comics, I think that's what I'm going to do now.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-07-2012, 08:43 PM

Picking mine up tomorrow. So excited for this one. Tristian is one of my favorite writers. Can't wait to see what he does with the IDW TMNT.

According to http://www.newenglandcomics.com/cgi-...n=1&1=20120307 it looks like my state, which is Massachusetts won't be getting it this week or next week.

My town doesn't have a comic shop but it has a Hastings I couldn't find the issue so I have to wait a little while till they get more copies

I got it in Colorado.

*DonatelloFan* · 03-07-2012, 09:58 PM

I never thought to look at Hastings. I'll check that out tomorrow. Otherwise I'm going to reluctantly purchase it off of eBay.

I think other Hastings sell comics too. And ebays always my second option if I cant find it at Hastings.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-07-2012, 10:10 PM

I'll check my shop tomorrow when I'm there and see if he has any extra. I'd be willing to help people out if he does.

Here's my review of Infestation 2: TMNT #1

Really liked it. Jones definitely researched his Lovecraft before writing this.

Wait you're in Virginia though, right?

IGN (headquartered in San Francisco) didn't have any IDW reviews for this week.

This Diamond stuff is screwy...

*Samhain* · 03-08-2012, 06:07 AM

I'll be picking this up next week for sure. Besides Tmnt, horror is my main thing. Hence my username.

*Ninjinister* · 03-08-2012, 12:49 PM

Trist', you have been able to balance the fine line between writing a Lovecraftian tale with tons of reference, without being overly heavy-handed about it. That is very tough to attain and you deserve all the kudos possible.

Just read it. It reminded me Notes from Underground from 4kids cartoon. Also it is the first time in the IDW series tha the story was not complete in one issue. At the end it says to be continued so it will continue at next issue. In this issue the turtles explore some abandoned tunells in the sewers and the fight some big ugly monsters! Just like what happend in Notes from Underground.

The origin took several issues to complete... And I am pretty sure #7 left us with a cliff hanger...

Hmm, you raise an interesting question Vaughn; the Transformers issues take place in the Hearts of Steel universe, which is an alternate timeline where the bots woke up during the Industrial Revolution.

We very well could be holding in our hands the very first "Mirage" story published by IDW.

Toby Barrett · 03-08-2012, 06:11 PM

I guess if Old Hob is a character in Mirage, sure.

*Oculus Orbus* · 03-08-2012, 07:51 PM

Weird as it sounds, I got it (all three covers) in London today. I took for granted that international distribution was also gonna be delayed, but apparently it hasn't.

MattLawrence · 03-08-2012, 07:53 PM

got it here in North Carolina, i really enjoyed it !
