Most excited for the SMA Halloween Special in this batch! Hopefully we can get a Christmas Special as well and cover ALL the seasonal bases that the old show never touched!

*lonewarrior20* · 07-21-2023, 06:23 PM

think creepy eddy's going to guest star?

*MikeandRaph87* · 07-21-2023, 06:25 PM

Chrome Dome running for political office? Look, Penguin running for office is stupid fun, but Chrome Dome? I don't think it fits into the tone of TMNT (1987). Sure, it had cheesy moments, but a robot politician? There has to be more this.

Heck yeah for the Halloween special and bring on a Cowabunga Christmas!

TheLabRat · 07-21-2023, 06:37 PM

So the Turtles never really grow up. They've repeated their father's lesson and importance of family bonds many times. But in the end, they quarreled and separated again because of the plot.

*CyberCubed* · 07-21-2023, 06:38 PM

I hope Dr. Barlow dies in #144, Leatherhead should eat him. #145 to #150 should be some Armaggon stuff, I wonder how long that arc will go on for though. 5 issues is too little given how slow the pacing in IDW usually is, hopefully 10-15 issues.

*TigerClaw* · 07-21-2023, 06:57 PM

We are finally getting an IDW version of Armaggon, And looks like they might be keeping his origin of being from the future.

Hahahaha, they really did just spell it "Beebop," like I've always done sarcastically over the years.

IDW doesn’t have great success with their “Best of…” cover solicitations. Did they eventually fix “ARPIL” before it went to print?

~~ChosenOne~~ · 07-21-2023, 11:23 PM

Campbell's definitive tale as in last of her run, or last, period? Don't know if I like that projected final issue of the arc coinciding with #150, it's a perfect round number for a send-off... Seriously hope my gut feeling is wrong for once.

Throw in the fact that todays IDW TMNT panel at SDCC is being advertised as the “next evolution of Turtlemania” changes may be coming

*CyberCubed* · 07-22-2023, 09:54 AM

It's funny that Chrome Dome is in the original cartoon comic, he's one of the few characters IDW never used in their run from that era. Do you guys think Chrome Dome could fit into the IDWverse? I'm not sure who would build or create him, he's basically a robot Shredder.

Any word from IDW at SDCC about the comic's future?

*CyberCubed* · 07-23-2023, 10:03 AM

Besides some of the new mini's announced (Last Ronin sequel and another Karai/Foot Clan mini-series), nothing else. I guess they're continuing as usual bar any future financial problems.

*sdp* · 07-23-2023, 09:44 PM

wait are they actually drawing the 1987 turtles like what they're supposed to look like?
The stories still seem too silly to be set in the tmnt continuity, are the actual stories silly or are they any better than the cover art/synopsis lead on?

I hate that they're bringing creepy eddy before they bring back some loved mutants. Hell it'd be nice to see wyrm, his only appearance was in a commercial.
