Micro-Series #5: Splinter by Erik Burnham.

*ToTheNines* · 03-09-2012, 03:02 PM

Due out in June, art by CP Wilson III.

I'm very excited about this, Splinter rarely get solo time and Burnham is an excellent writer. If you don't believe me, just check out IDW's current Ghostbusters ongoing book.

REEEEALLY, can't wait to see Peterson's cover though.

Here's Willson III's take on the TMNT, I dig it.

I can not efffing wait for this.

*oldmanwinters* · 03-09-2012, 03:46 PM

I missed the source on this one. Was it on the IDW forums?

*ToTheNines* · 03-09-2012, 03:52 PM

Yes, sir. Bobby Curnow himself.

Spoiler:

Good stuff! Too bad he's drawing the Splinter micro, but I'm sure we'll get a turtle or two somewhere in the issue. Checked out his art and he seems very versatile, so I'm sure he'll have no trouble doing a TMNT comic. The potential of this ongoing Micro-Series is very exciting!

**** me in the ass!!!!this is one hell of interesting artwork!!!!!!!cannot wait to see and most of all read more of that take on the turtles!!!!I say GOOD that he does the splinter micro, the sensei/father figure should be a strong image for us to believe in this character...

*Eiko* · 03-09-2012, 04:11 PM

Wow awsome cant wait.

*Mayhem* · 03-09-2012, 04:17 PM

Which explains why David Petersen didn't know what the fourth one was, maybe he hadn't been told what covers to draw

*Oculus Orbus* · 03-09-2012, 04:18 PM

Nice, CP Wilson III is a great artist. I'm not so sure about his turtles, but I think he'll probably do a nice job with the book.

**Jester** · 03-09-2012, 04:26 PM

Yea! and also

, because my wallet can't repel an force of this magnitude.

*Jephael* · 03-09-2012, 06:34 PM

You know at first I didn't like the idea of IDW rehashing Eastman and Laird's old Micro Series issues, but after having read the first 3 I'm really impressed, and am glad to see they're gonna do ones for other characters, not just the Turtles.

*Powder* · 03-09-2012, 07:39 PM

They're not rehashes. Educate yourself. They have tributes and similar thematics, but they don't tell the same story whatsofriggin'ever.

I don't care for the turtle art in the OP, personally. Maybe that won't be a problem though, since the book is Splinter-centric.

Burnham's been ROCKING IDW's Ghostbusters book.

This ought to be great.

Powder, I have to admit that Raphael in that pic reminds me a lot of your drawing style. I'm not sure why, but it does.

**Venom** · 03-09-2012, 09:11 PM

I hope #8 is either Shredder or the Fugitoid. I'm ready to see the good doctor arrive on the lam!

I think rehashing is definitely the right word here. It's not the same stories, but when you release single story issues just like Eastman & Laird did, it's rehashing. But luckily it's new stories.

Hell, I thought Issue #5 was a damn Splinter Micro Series. It seemed to be all about him. Just my take on it.

I would LOVE to see a Micro Series issue on other characters, too. A Shredder issue would simply be awesome. As long as it didn't focus on his time feuding with Yoshi. I mean come on, how many times can I see Saki and Yoshi confront each other in the past? (I haven't read all the comics yet. Is Shredder even in it yet besides the flashback as Saki?)

Oh, and LOVE the Turtles drawing in the first post. Very nice.

And Venom, you say you hope number EIGHT is Shredder or Fugitoid? Does that mean #'s 6 and 7 are already taken by other characters?
