It’s all about execution, but the premise of the lost years doesn’t excite me right off the bat. I’m more interested in the future timeline at this point.

But who knows, if the storytelling is strong, I’ll dig it.

Seems a bit of an add-on to the last one to ride on its sales. Not really sure if this is needed but it'll probably be good.

But yeah, see you guys in 2 years.

I feel like this would work best as a one shot story instead of a min-series.

I'm surprised they wouldn't launch an ongoing. The sales for Last Ronin more than justified it.

Kind of makes sense to me for a few reasons:

1. It’s never on time, why even try.

2. Keep it’s prestige format. Larger size, bigger page count to allow for Kevin to do his long fight scenes, expensive artists, etc

3. Follow same pattern that made first book a success - mini series, followed by “evergreen” hardcover collection.

Why? So that it would eventually get bitten by the woke bug? Or become even lamer as the years go by? I say leave the story at issue #5.

I'd like ongoing, but they won't allow it, as it will demonstrated Cambell's inadequacy as a writer, more than it is now.

I think it’s because of how vague it is. Instead of showing us… SOMETHING, they just use vague description.

Between Last Ronin and Armageddon Game, it feels like an exciting time to be into TMNT comics.

The cover art revealed is bloody gorgeous. Let's hope the interior content matches.

Yep, never judge a book by its cover.

Well, actually, the cover for “I’m Not Starfire” pretty much gave away the crappy content inside.
