TMNT Comics by Titan UK #4

TristanHuwJones · 07-31-2007, 11:54 AM

Alright, a heads up for you UK Turtle fans -- I'm told that the new issue of Titan's Turtle comics/mag should be hitting the stands this week. If anyone sees it, be sure to pick it up! I have a story in there about Mikey getting himself into some trouble with Jammerheads phantom technology.

Peace!

Plus the Mikey movie prequel I wrote kicks off, in color!

We are lucky in the UK

My comic man will put it aside for me - I'll go see him and hand over the £s.

jerome · 07-31-2007, 03:25 PM

Is the demand for this really greater in the UK than it would be here in the states?

How come it seems we get shafted here in the states? No cool dvds. none of these comics...what gives?

*Spitfire* · 07-31-2007, 03:27 PM

The UK didn't get over half the episodes on DVD, I'd say they got shafted.

Spawn Guy · 07-31-2007, 04:52 PM

I think it's more the UK's own comic tradition. There's stuff made for Spider-Man that isn't just taken from the american issues, although we do that. Usually it's for a younger audience, but they can be fun. The Transformers just got a new one from the same company. I'm not sure it's demand so much as it is commercial representation and inevitability.

And yeah, know how else you'd make money Peter? If you could convert all those pounds that are worth more than dollars into your bank account by actually giving us more than the bare bones season one you've handed us.

*Spitfire* · 07-31-2007, 06:53 PM

So these comics don't come out till August then right? If that's the case I'll just hawk Ebay for them.

junkboy · 08-01-2007, 03:36 AM

Are there any ways to get those issues while living out of UK?

*discordiatookie* · 08-01-2007, 10:42 AM

Got mine in the post today!!! y'see, I subscribed to it, meaning I get it at least a week earlier than the shops!

Aint read it yet though, but it looks cool, the Mikey prequel art looks a helluva lot better in colour!! 'Fraid to say though, the got it credited as being written by Steve Murphy and art by fernando Pinto, instead of Jake Black and Mr Exes!!! D'oh!!! There's a cool feature about the movie coming to DVD, with a few 'Did you know?'s.. "Did you know, you can spot the surname of the director, Kevin Munroe, spelled out in Japanese Hiragana on a shop in the first Nightwatcher scene?" And so on...

Oh, you get a free rocket launcher too!!!!!!

YES! We don't even have the OT dvds here. My region 1 dvd collection is now almost the same size as my region 2, and it's all the OT and 2k3 season 2+ turtles stuff that we are deprived of.

Spawn Guy · 08-01-2007, 03:04 PM

I remember when I had a region free DVD player. Good times.

yeah i'd say they got shafted as well. I was mainly refering to the australian release of season 5 on dvd and the cool tin box cover for the TMNT movie dvd and the fact that the UK gets this new comic. It just seems like this stuff would sell better and make more money if it were available to us here in the states as well...just a thought though.

The Tribunal DVD is a joke it's missing an episode, the tin for the movie is cool but honestly going through the hassle of region free player for one DVD isn't worth it. Plus it's not in upconvert so it'll look like **** on my TV.

TristanHuwJones · 08-02-2007, 03:43 AM

Our Aussie dvd set of season 4 has the Ninja Tribunal ep.
Picked it up the second that bugger hit - kept my U.S. copy for the extras!
You gotta remember too, ultimately it comes down to whoever holds the license for the DVD releases/mag releases, etc.

Peace!

I was surprised - my region free dvd player cost £17 (about $32) - I ordered it from amazon and it arrived on my door step the next day. I had more hassle trying to get chocolate out of the wrapper than getting a region free dvd player. ......

hmmmmmmmmmm........chocolate............... gotta go!

And yet there are children starving in Africa. For shame Jenna.

Chocolate always wins out in the end.
