It was written as a canon continuation of Volume 2. Nothing that happens in Volume 4 contradicts it either.

Also Peter Laird has no say on the franchise anymore, so what he thinks is canon or isn't doesn't matter.

Doesn't mean much when the people with the final word don't care.

Doesn't mean much when the fans don't care who has the final word.

If you go by Pete's personal feelings, half the books we've ever gotten don't count. Where's the fun in that?

it’s unfortunate when creators sometimes to try to revise something created years ago when they were in a completely different place mentally.

some of these ‘years later’ revisions to me just seem like unnecessary after-thoughts.

he probably shouldn’t have continued the original continuity? would have made it a lot easier on himself and fans as well had he just re-booted the series.

wether it's canon or not? i still love and enjoy TMNT vol.3.

Since the final two image issues were put in, any plans to include “Odyssey” on the timeline? I don’t really think Vol 1 issue 18 would do any harm if added into the timeline. Would place it sometime between the Utrom arrival and Splinter’s passing.

EDIT: When "Origin" is finished, maybe it and the backup story included could be added in?

Man it's sad that Peter laird lost interest in finishing volume 4 leaving it on permanent hiatus.

I agree
want more closure in the story here

Well, we have a big anniversary coming up in may this year.
And when these happened Pete always had something for us.
I still hope he will have a new issue, TPB collections or something else special for us.
Would be awesome.

To tell us that it would be the end of Mirage TMNT for good. I mean he said he had the right to make 18 issues after he sold the franchise and he only made four issues since only 14 issues and it would be the last time we ever see the mirage tmnt. After that I think Peter Laird would retire alongside Mirage comics for good.

Mirage can publish 18 books per year.

We already have 4 books and only 14 issues left at this point.

But it's been so long since and Peter laird hadn't wrote mirage in while since 2014. Peter had the option to make a couple more mirage issues but we haven't seen them since.

Sharman · 04-29-2019, 03:47 PM

One can only hope that PL resumes interest at some point to continue the Mirage story.

I'd like to think Peter will do it soon for Vol. 4's conclusion. But who knows? It doesn't look like it. I mean has anyone gone to the Mirage website? As of the end of May, Dan Berger says Peter won't sign stuff anymore from their store purchases. He's hardly ever at the studio these days. I mean that just seems harsh to hear. Yet the only person that has said anything about Vol. 4 is Jim Lawson. He's mentioned that occasionally whenever he's with Peter, he always gets asked if he'll still draw Vol. 4 whenever/if Peter gets on it again. Jim always says yes, he'll do it. But thats really up to Peter. I don't want to sound morbid but what if anything ever happens to either of them? Then we'll never have an ending. Its just like when Peter mentioned he didn't travel much with his wife because of his thing about airplanes. He said that to the Mirage guys and they said to him your thinking makes no sense. What if something happened to your wife on the plane? Your saying its OK she goes on a plane but you don't go with her? I think that kinda tells what Peter meant about needing to patch up his relationship with his wife with the Turtles consuming his life for a time in their lives which it sounds like it had. He said things were better for them not being busy with Turtles anymore. Which is good for them and totally understandable. But will Vol. 4 ever have its conclusion?

Probably maybe but it would be the conclusion of the mirage continuity for good and since we got the conclusion of the image run now maybe we can get the finale of the Archie comic series next

I hope eventually IDW gives us nice hardcover collections of the whole mirage universe TMNT ( I hope they fellow the timeline here and get all the stories including the obscure ones).

I also hope it’s in black and white and magazine size ( though I think IDW don’t usually like black and white comics )

Toxin45 · 05-13-2020, 08:43 AM

I wonder how with the world in crisis cuz of the covid-19 virus incidents would mirage be disbanded?
