IDW's Secret History of The Foot Clan - Page 2

*Slade* · 07-13-2012, 10:37 PM

I'm loving this IDW stuff. Keep it comming. Can't wait!

Lucs · 07-13-2012, 11:59 PM

The mini sounds very intriguing. Would love to see where Shredder is coming from and if they talk about why he's still around. Seemed like Splinter was surprised he was even able still be alive.

*CyberCubed* · 07-14-2012, 12:17 AM

Hm, just realized this is probably going to be all ancient Japan stuff with Saki and Yoshi again...for the third time. Should be cool.

They're getting a lot of mileage out of that backstory though.

That article is riddled with errors (I'm not an assistant editor!!). The correct name of the mini-series is "Secret History of the Foot Clan." Art and story by Mateus Santolouco, with Erik Burnham co-scripting. We'll have covers by Rafael Grampa and CP Wilson.

Though subject to change, all signs point to a 4 issue mini starting in December. I'll try and post our first art for it at the IDW forum next week!

Bobby Curnow · 07-14-2012, 08:55 AM

We're shooting for December, though that's not completely locked in stone. Should know for sure soon.

No Laird involvement. We're happy to be getting Ultimate annotations from him.

Simply awesome.

Totally agreed. Erik has Splinter down-pat, his Micro was by far my favorite take on the character. He even beat out Mirage's Splinter, in my mind. That may be a drastic statement given it was only one issue, but IDW's Splinter as a whole has been far more attractive as a character to me than Mirage's was. Not to say that I didn't enjoy Mirage Splinter, I did. But I feel like IDW has given him fresh life that Mirage...well, literally...killed off.

Bobby, you're getting annotations from Peter Laird concerning the Ultimate? AWESOME!

I love the intercutting between past and present, ESPECIALLY when the backstory takes place in feudal Japan! Shredder is going to get some well-deserved back story which has sadly, after 25 years, remain sorely unexplored. I'm somehow more psyched for this than an Eastman drawn turtles issue! IDW has accomplished quite the feat with that one!

If it helps, remember that this is going to be touch upon Shredder's survival up to the present, so it won't ALL take place in old timey Japan. You're also gonna get to see Saki's embarrassing mutton chops from the 70's! I too would be pretty grumpy if I had a dark past like that haunting me...

Very well said. I am psyched for this too. And I agree... this series is slow without the micros and minis. This series... althout only a year in... seems to be getting really fleshed out with all these mini issues. It's impressive and im loving this series so far.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-15-2012, 09:33 PM

The idea that this is four issues is great. I can't wait. Giving us something that really sets up the Foot and Shredder is going to be great. I mean this will hopefully let us know what the Foot has been up to all these years.

*Raph* · 07-16-2012, 07:33 AM

Yeah IDW is really giving us great stuff! I'm loving it!

Erik Burnham · 07-18-2012, 10:34 PM

Glad to hear excitement, everyone!

Mateus' story is awesome. I'm happy to be able to be a part of it!

*Zulithe* · 07-18-2012, 10:38 PM

Finally, the untold story of The Foot

Thanks for engaging with us, Erik. I'm really looking forward to the book. IDW is doing a really good job with TMNT.

Yes indeed! Can't wait

Awesome news. Lots of great stuff coming for the rest of the year.
So stoked!

LeoNerdo · 07-19-2012, 11:02 AM

This was a really great surprise to me. I cannot wait to read this series!

Toby Barrett · 08-13-2012, 06:33 AM

Hopefully, this will be printed in a trade paperback as well, though that's pretty likely anyway. I've found it more enjoyable to read, and much more cost effective to just wait for the tpb to be printed, and read the story as a whole.

I would be surprised if it was not released as a trade. It is a 4 issue mini series, the same length as all their TMNT trades.

Your clue was the four-issue length. So far on IDW's series, I've just been collecting the trades, so I expect them to release it in that format.

Heather Breckel · 08-14-2012, 01:11 PM

Really looking forward to this one, I love Santolouco's work. For those of you that don't watch him on DA, he did a model sheet of the turtles and April today
