I have GOT to get this issue!!!

twopinacoladas · 01-26-2004, 12:51 AM

I believe you guys have it, no need to quote the book, any who it should be out here soon hopefully I can get it tomorrow.
I just started reading TMNT comics more a couple of months ago, I wasn't sure where to get them I only knew of one comic shop in town and they dont cary much. Although I looked in the phone book I found a couple shops. (why I did'nt earlier is beyond me) but I ordered Vol 4 1-12 and the official movie parody of TMNT "Green Grey Spounge Suit Sushi Turtles" which I already had but in poor condition. I got them in last Thursday so I have been able to read through them all weekend and enjoyed them a lot. (BTW I ordered them with the fourm on the official site) They sent me #13 and the Toys R Us comic thing free which I thought was really cool of them. I am almost on TMNT overload right now I guess. Its gonna be a shock to my system when I have to wait a month for the next issue of each comic lol, but its great timing 1 comic from Mirage per month with Tales of TMNT and Vol 4 to bad the Dream Wave comic was canned but it should be back eventually.

Yeah, the folks at Mirage are really nice people. I've ordered quite a bit from them. They always shipped it really quick too.

My comic shop didn't have this last week either. When I mentioned that some already have the comic, he said that some shops and indepedent buyers who order the comics from the internet, get them earlier. Then those going by regular shipments (which he goes by) get the issues later. Hopefully this should clear up more of the fuzz.

And.. even though I haven't got the comic yet... my guess at why the TMNT have the classic headgear and weapons, is that Splinter intiated them to that level before senting them out on their own. Just so they are properly prepared n all.

Demonfox38 · 01-26-2004, 01:16 PM

Man, at least you guys have intellegent comic store employees. I was talking to one at our store, and he had no idea that Tales was even coming out! D'OH!

Here's hoping the owner ordered it.

twopinacoladas · 01-26-2004, 01:52 PM

The guy at my store said Thursday

so dont have to wait to long.

On a side note in November I stood in line for Nickelback tickets for like 6 hours and was told they were sold out just when I got to the front door... Any they just said today that they are coming back in March and tickets go on sale this Saturday so I have to cancel my plans of going to a Minnesota and seeing a Montreal Canadiens, game against the Minnesota wild. Montreal is one of my fav hockey teams btw. Nickelback over a NHL hockey game... I think its worth it I had better get tickets this time, it will be an all nighter in line...

I went to a different comic shop yesterday, and they didn't have it either. I did pick up the incentive cover to DW #1 for 5 bucks tho.

That is true, but my comic shop gets these the normal way(in the weekly shipments from Diamond on wednesdays). Whatever the problem with distribution is, I'm almost certain it'll be everywhere by the end of this week.

Hopefully it will be, because I don't feel like ordering from the internet or resorting to ebay, and I gotta have this comic!

EZweasel · 01-26-2004, 03:48 PM

our comic shop still sais the mirage volume for isnt out . they said "if it was out we would have it"they think dream wave is the only thing out right now.

*VaughnMichael* · 01-26-2004, 08:52 PM

made a few calls this weekend to local comic shops here in texas and it comes out this wednessday with the rest of the other new comics.....
so I'll see what happens then.
-Vaughn Michael

EDIT:
Finally it came out today it was amazing! I think its better then volume 4!
Tales no. 1 is a must have for any turtle fan the art work is beautiful even if its lacking any shading or gray tones...the art is just great and the story beyond great! I must say i am sad to see that Jim Lawson will be drawing issue 2 ...wish Eric Talbot was drawing it alone his art is very nice but i guess it's all good because they will keep having different artists all the time....I give tales of TMNT v. 2 No. 1 an A+
Thought you all would enjoy to know issue #14 looks really good of volume 4 though can't wait to see how there gonna pull this mutated vampire raph thing off...and saw a preview for issue #15 tonight alsoit has don and the utroms fighting those dinos on the cover.
-Vaughn Michael

**HorseTechie** · 01-29-2004, 10:44 AM

Weee.. yes, it is out! I couldn't wait to get it either.

Very cool read it was... I seem to like anything that deals with young TMNT too. And even more so, this comic was narrated by Don. The way he went into detail about stuff was just how I imagined him, and then they way Mike and Raph would tease him for being too "geek" at times was funny. Heck, the overall way in that they interacted was "cute". I could relate though, cause I was really into History, Sicence, and Nature shows on PBS when I was that age.

Also liked the discovery of the "secret civilation" Reminded me of the FoxBox cartoon, Notes from the Underground.

The art is great too, of course. The artist and story writer are names I don't recognize though. Makes me wonder if they are hosting guest artists on this series too.

My only gripe... where did Don come up with 10-15 water filter things to give to the worm people? Seems odd they would be packing that many with them in all.

twopinacoladas · 01-29-2004, 01:23 PM

I couldnt get my copy, the comic book guy said the truck broke down in nipigon, (small town in Ontario Canada) I think he said it will be in tomorrow...

that was my and my boy friend only gripe also...
I still wish this was in color I think it would have looked so much better this is really reminding me of the archie series which I liked allot!
one thing also those fish face people....I wonder if they are the same ones from Volume 1 issue #28

& volume 2 issue #5

I know they had legs and all in these future issues but perhaps they evolved or whatnot...
-Vaughn Michael

Aztec General · 01-29-2004, 04:18 PM

I finally got it today. It was pretty good. Although I must say that their views on evolution are quite screwy. This issue was kind of a cross between "Notes from the Underground" and the fish men from "Sons of the Silent Age" and Volume 2.

Well, I think Tales. #2 & 3 look to be the best.

impetus · 01-29-2004, 04:24 PM

I think 1:28 and 2:5 have totally unrelated "fish people" who happen to look alike. Since 1:28 ended with a sort of truce. I may be wrong....

*cqb101* · 01-29-2004, 05:49 PM

I finally got this issue today, and it was well worth the wait. It was a damn good start to this series. I really liked the art and thought it was much better than the art in vol.4(people actually looked like people and not deformed monkeys)

lhb412 · 01-29-2004, 08:48 PM

Man, that was awesome. A great start to the new series, and notice the intro thingy at the front by Jim Lawson; doesn't his art look so much more sharp and cool when he inks it himself? The entire issue was just classic, and a nice, weird art style.

*raphael_is_cool* · 01-30-2004, 03:54 AM

I managed to get it over here in England, it was pretty good

Artwork was really good, although I have to admit that Jim Lawson's intro page looks rubbish compared to some of his better work in Vol 4

Did anyone wonder (or any one know..) why Raph picked up the arrowhead and if it has significance or not? Although Don has said that Raph hasn't said anything to this day..wonder if it would pop up again for some reason or another

*JameO* · 01-30-2004, 11:29 AM

Great story I do have to say. I love the drawings of the turtles bodies and everything else. But I think the heads need to be fixed badly. It just sucks. They look like some sort of ghosts. I think the cover artist drawings are awesome and should be used or just get the penciler to make the faces better.
