ANOTHER new TMNT B/W series? from MIRAGE?

LeSean · 08-31-2003, 11:46 AM

Hey guys, not sure if anyone caught this or if its already been posted..and if it has, just lock this topic, but theres a NEW TMNT kid on the block, and its from MIRAGE!!!

THE SLUSH FACTORY.COM has just announced the following:

"Artist Rick Remender has told Slushfactory.com that he's been tapped to work on a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles book from Mirage Entertainment.

"I can’t talk about what the book is, or what it’s about," says Remender," but it’s a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic penciled by me, Rick Remender (Black Heart Billy, The Avengers, Doll and Creature), and inked by one of the unquestionably best inkers alive, John Beatty (the original Punisher mini, Batman, GI Joe).

Continuing, he says, "I can’t say anything else about the nature of the book, other than it deals with the original TMNT and takes place in the eighties (where I’m stuck forever anyway). Peter Laird and TMNT scribe Stephen Murphy have been blown away by the art so far. John and I know everyone else will feel the same."

this looks pretty damned cool! looks like this year is indeed the year of the shell!!!!

looks like Turtle fans wallets will be shrinking yet, again!lol!!!

We knew there will be a new Tales of TMNT book, I don't know if this is related to that or something new, but it looks VERY good. Thanks for the heads up LeSean!

LeSean · 08-31-2003, 11:54 AM

sure man, i'm a fan too ya know!!!lol

and always surfin' for new TMNT stuff online.. apparently tho, this is entirely new, seperate from the new Tales series.. the news was announced this past weds...and judging from the preview art on the Blast from the Past info thats posted, the art is COMPLETELY different. this is evident because the artist is VERY hush hush about it, and cant reveal anything, even the title name...news indeed

it looks hella cool, too!

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 11:56 AM

True that... Hopefully some new info will be revealed sometime soon.

The Master · 08-31-2003, 12:00 PM

Looks pretty sweet...

But I'm wondering why another new TMNT series from Mirage. I mean, is the market even big enough for four series at once?

I don't understand.

But still looks pretty good.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 12:02 PM

Im sure it is, TMNT comics are selling very good.

Splinter · 08-31-2003, 12:45 PM

Oh, for the love of god. While the turtles look okay, Splinter looks absolutley terrible. I can't even put into words how terrible he looks. He doesn't even look like a rodent anymore. I hate how he was drawn in the current Mirage Series. But I never thought I'd see a version that looks worse then it. Amazingly I have, and now my eyes have imploded in protest.

The Master · 08-31-2003, 01:22 PM

I will agree Splinter is quite bad in the new series. His face many times just looks like a mush. Bleh.

This new splinter here is okay. I do think he looks a little...ferocious.

But the Turtles certainly look cool.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 01:30 PM

Yeah Splinter seems pretty weird, but I could live with that. And thos are just concept art I think.

Sparvid · 08-31-2003, 01:47 PM

Those pencils are sweet!
Wonder what the story will be...

Psycrow · 08-31-2003, 01:53 PM

Nice find LeSean!

Gotta love that irony as well.

*cqb101* · 08-31-2003, 02:11 PM

*&%#$@($&%@&@&!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!! I can'y ****ign wait! That's amazing! LeSean, you shouldn't have posted that. I'm starting to like that art more than yours.

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 02:19 PM

Yeah, I to wonder what the story will be... The article says that it deals with original TMNT and happen's in the 80's... Is it original Mirage stories with new art or what? So next year there might be 4 ongoing TMNT books... I don't think that has happened ever before.

*cqb101* · 08-31-2003, 02:24 PM

4 books?! Man, I need to get a job......

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 02:27 PM

Yep, and it seems 3 published by Mirage... TMNT is back in full force.

*Dane E5R* · 08-31-2003, 03:19 PM

Don't worry LeSean, I still like your art more.

But this is really f*ckin' awesome. You think you could ask Peter Laird himself?

**Karpo_007** · 08-31-2003, 03:23 PM

It seems to me they don't wan't to give out much details yet... I think we should just wait

**Nturtle** · 08-31-2003, 04:54 PM

Damn, you beat me to it Lesean!! Aw well,

I think it looks preety cool, I've got to voice my distaste for those bandanas that cover their whole heads

But what in high holy hell is wrong with Splinter?? namely his teeth!! They look alligatorish!!

Still very cool...

*Cascadia* · 08-31-2003, 05:36 PM

the art in my opinion is ok.....but maybe it will improve.
