Perfect! Good job! I love seeing these up go up again.

Though not so easy/intuitive with the covers, is it?

That was too advanced for me most days. Hence why I stuck to previews in the run-up to #50.

Oh, and you put them side by side. They look so much better that way... Clever! You're hired!

*CyberCubed* · 06-30-2021, 12:32 PM

Hob should just give up. Trying to control mutant town hasn't been going anywhere. Also judging by this it does seem mutant town will remain the focus till issue 125 at the least.

We're likely not going to return to Leatherhead/Krang, Pantheon, etc. until Tom Waltz writes the ongoing again, so outside the annual in July I imagine this stuff is off-limits.

Perhaps wisely, all things considered.

*CyberCubed* · 06-30-2021, 01:03 PM

Yeah it's obvious those are all Waltz' storylines and he obviously wants to write them himself, I just wish the wait wasn't so long. The annual in 2020 is the one that revealed that Krang/Leatherhead was a major plotline...and we're now 1 year later in 2021 and they haven't appeared since. Imagine getting a teaser with a 1 year gap and no follow up.

And this is let alone the fact that the other Utroms/Ch'rell and Triceratons on Burnow Island haven't been followed up since even before City at War, and that was even longer ago.

hypered1 · 06-30-2021, 01:13 PM

Added an extra item that I figured people would want to know about.

~~AquaParade~~ · 06-30-2021, 01:21 PM

God damn, they are milking that cow. Good for them. really. They may not even survive from what I've heard, so they've got to pull out all the stops.

I'll probably pay for that digitally, but I'm not thrilled because I'll be paying for it again with the hardcover. Whatever though, I'm down for the cause.

What do you mean, IDW as a whole?

Yeah. Sorry, I can't provide a source and I'm not 100% sure, but I thought I heard they are in dire financial times as of the last year or so.

hypered1 · 06-30-2021, 02:07 PM

These numbers all look pretty good to me: https://apnews.com/article/business-...ae3941515e3637

Good stuff. Again, I'm not an expert on this, but here is where I got the idea...not the most recent source, but:

hypered1 · 06-30-2021, 02:43 PM

I've seen that article before and at this point it's 18 months old and was only predicting this year's profits.
The article I posted is only two weeks old and shows the previous quarter's profit/loss details

Weapons@theready · 06-30-2021, 02:53 PM

Roadkill Rodneys FTW

~~AquaParade~~ · 06-30-2021, 02:54 PM

Okay, you're probably right. My b.

I think we saw them first in that Mutanimals mini way back in 2016.

*lonewarrior20* · 06-30-2021, 06:04 PM

i think hobs losing himself in a bottle and ray's pulling the strings now. i also get the funny feeling the slithery eggs are going to be hatching close to the protest.

*CyberCubed* · 06-30-2021, 06:13 PM

Hob's face on 121's cover definitely implies he's having second thoughts of what he's doing. He said the same in one of the earlier issues that mutating a whole bunch of humans didn't turn out like he hoped.

Well, one half of your prediction proved true. Now we wait to see about the other half...
