Almost picked this up yesterday! So, it's good? Is it original comics continuity?
The original TMNT stuff is really, really special. Those were some brilliant, gutsy comics. It's so funny how they started off as a Daredevil/X-Men parody, but really turned into a great book on its own.

Are Eastman and Laird still a team? Did they do the IDW issue?
I'm lucky enough to have a 1st printing of the original #1 Also have the rarer #3. I got them way back when because I thought they were cool, never thought they would be such a collectible.

I don't know what the heck happened to it, but I owned the fourth TPB of the Turtles, which the first movie took a good amount from. I remember it being fantastic.

It is so freaking good. Just wait until you get to issue #5. That issue will knock your socks off.

I haven't checked out the Turtles, but I'm catching up on the ongoing Ghostbusters IDW is putting out. The overly cartoonish style throws me off, but it's good otherwise. Mixes elements of both movies, both cartoon serirs and the video game. I just wish we could get a solid story that doesn't always go back to Gozer. It's like using Zod over and over.

Yeah, I I am reading that too. It's quite fun. And the cartoon style has grown on me.

Yeah, this is fantastic. I'm hooked. It makes me feel like a kid again, to be honest. Maybe more so than anything else I read. It's great.

Kev,
You reading the Micro-Series issues that are coming out too? The Raphael one was excellent. The other two (Leonardo hasn't come out yet)...Meh. Though the Donatello one was better than Michelangelo

Ohhh, so those are completely different books? I thought they were just different covers. No. I won't bother. I'm keeping my comics simple. I overdid it for a while, now I'm limiting myself to seven a month, if that. Them shits is pricey.

Yeah, they are completely separate. Though I think there are only going to be 4 issues total. So far 3 have come out. You might want to read the Raphael one, it ties into the main series pretty well. However, the other two you can just skip, one and Done.

I keep meaning to check these out. I've been in a pretty...ummmm...Ninja-y mood lately. Had a real urge to watch the first movie and the recent CGI flick, too!

For those of you that have read it, what did you think of the changes and mythology introduced in issue 5?
Personally, I think it's genius. It's very different, and I am really looking forward to seeing what they do with it.

I read the Turtles Infestation tie in last night. I initially stayed away since I didn't want to read IDW's infestation event. But, when I read that each little mini series is completely stand alone I decided to give it a try. It was pretty good. I recommend it.  |

Issue #8 hit it out of the park again. Duncan's artwork is fucking gorgeous in that gritty sort of way. And I don't normally take note of the colorist, but Rhonda Pattison is hitting it out of the park on complimenting Duncan's style.

My shop was out of it. Dammit!
I love everything that's happened so far. Really. It's the most fun comic that I'm reading, by FAR.

I haven't checked it out yet, but I'm not sure I would want this in color. There is just something cool about the original B&W.

I totally agree with you, but I really like the way they handled the colors in this. It doesn't lose any of that cool "screen" effect from the originals. I'm a huge fan of the old b&w stuff, and I mostly just picked this up out of curiosity, and it really knocked me out!

Do you know if it's Rhonda Pattison who did the coloring? She is doing the color for the main series and is knocking it out of the park. It's sort of water color and looks really good.

I didn't check. I'll look when I get home! I shouldn't even be talking to you right now! I'm in the basement of the NYU library trying to bang out a paper that's due tomorrow.

I checked out the Color Classics #1 last week. It is gorgeous, I had to pick it up. The coloring is phenomenal. I added the color classics to my pull list. The shop says they have solicited up to issue 3 so far. I wonder how far they are going to go with these.
