A comic to go along with the show

*Allio* · 07-21-2012, 12:55 PM

So as we had with both 1987 show and the 2003 show, we had comics to go along with both...

So with the comic book style animation the nick show has, do you think it will keep the tradition and also have a TMNT comic based on it?

Yes.

And an unofficial announcement: I was able to confirm with Tom Waltz that IDW will be publishing a TMNT series to tie-in with the new Nickelodeon cartoon, although there is no projected time table for when we can expect to see that.

Awesome, great news! Hopefully this comic will last longer than the 2K3 one.

And hopefully a billion times better!

So far IDW seems to know what they're doing, so I'm optimistic.

This is awesome news. I hope it isn't just comic versions of episodes, it would be cool if it can be like the Archie series.

*Zany Orange Dude* · 07-21-2012, 06:22 PM

That's good news! I also hope it's not based directly off of episodes from the show! I'd like to see some different plots in the comic.

*CyberCubed* · 07-21-2012, 06:46 PM

I think it'll be new stories but set into continuity with the Nick show. I don't see then spawning a new universe like Archie did especially if they're using the same designs from the show.

dragonside · 07-29-2012, 03:53 PM

i'd also like to see differing storylines, and maybe a better ability to do crossovers with different universes. That'd be sick.

Really excited for this, like you all mentioned I hope it has a long life span, does its own thing but still ties into the Nick show.

Uki · 07-30-2012, 09:01 PM

Well, as long as its new/original stuff, I'll check it out!

*pannoni1* · 07-31-2012, 05:54 AM

I hope it goes the Archie route by adapting the first several episodes and then going its own path, since that in effect would form another all-new universe. But the problem is that kids nowadays don't seem to enjoy comics books like '80s and '90s kids do due to an increase in technology/alternative forms of play. I would assume though that they would need apps that can be announced during commercial breaks/bumpers since today's kids feel that reading books by paper is an artifact to them, and those who grew up in the '80s/'90s are not the target audience of this comic.

My ultimate suggestion however is work up a story line that meets the Archie Turtles at the end of issue #72 and have a storyline of a few issues that can serve as a finale to that series by finally defeating the "original" Shredder and Krang; it would sort of be the Turtles Forever of the junior comics.

I hope it's awful and short-lived so I don't have to buy two titles at once.

Kidding (sort of).

Admittedly I can see your point. I was actually happy when Dreamwave got canceled simply because I didn't want it to be a huge 7-year spanning epic like the Archie series was.

I am actually greedy like that, I'd prefer something to die if I don't want another universe being born.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 07-31-2012, 08:38 PM

man a comic tie-in!!! sweet!

I hear that. It's not even totally a money thing for me, but definitely a space concern. I already have upwards of 300 TMNT comics (Not to mention Ghostbusters, Batman and a few other things) with no end in sight for the current IDW book.

Plus they wouldn't be on the same release schedule, so that would mean even more trips to the comic shop, unless I controlled myself lol.

*CyberCubed* · 08-01-2012, 02:23 PM

Well since IDW is doing the cartoon comic, and sales start declining, obviously IDW would cancel this comic rather than their main on-going continuity.

Bobby already said the Color Classics will probably end soon due to declining sales, and not make it past #11 at best.

*Allio* · 08-01-2012, 05:33 PM

I probably won't pick it... but it's pretty cool the new show will have a comic. though feels wierd its also from IDW

Genesis · 08-01-2012, 06:01 PM

Well, they've handled 'em well so far, so why not?
