Free Comic Book Day – The People, the comics…. the hail?!

It has been a wild couple of weeks…

Free Comic Book Day not only was the annual comic giveaway across the country, but it was also the 30th anniversary for the teenage mutant ninja turtles. I was fortunate to be around for the special Eastman & Laird reunion and signing events for both Jetpack Comics in Rochester, NH and Shellback Artworks in Wells, ME.

Book Review: Raise Some Shell, by Richard Rosenbaum

Hello Turtle Fans!

With all of the upcoming new TMNT movie chatter, and the popularity of the current Nickelodeon show and the comics, there is a renewed interest in learning more about the franchise and it’s history. There seems to be a number of mini-books popping up ‘analyzing’ tmnt and it’s history. Don’t fill your kindle just yet, though… Continue reading “Book Review: Raise Some Shell, by Richard Rosenbaum”

Finally Releases of the Platinum Dunes Turtles.

The internet is a buzz about images of the mock-ups of the 2014 Jonathan Liebsman directed Turtles FINALLY being released. They are on several fan sites already, so why not here as well. Thanks to members of the Technodrome forums Donnie and RaphTMNT for the heads up.

Update: Season Two Premieres Oct. 12th @ 11am

Hello, fellow Machines!

We finally have the first two episodes for the new season! TVGuide has provided our first sneak peek clip, as well as other insight on upcoming characters:

Gotta catch em all! You can really see how much the animation's improved this coming season

The premiere appears to be an hour long special called “The Mutation Situation”. Looks like it’s going to be raining ooze canisters all over New York, which is the start of a FLOOD of new mutant critters gallumping through the Big Apple… some familiar names and some new faces!

“Joining the cast this season is Josh Peck (Drake & Josh), who voices teenage hockey player Casey Jones, a rebel who enjoys taking on the bad guys. TMNT also stars Sean Astin (as Raphael), Rob Paulsen (Donatello), Greg Cipes (Michelangelo), Jason Biggs (Leonardo), Mae Whitman (April O’Neil), Hoon Lee (Master Splinter) and Kevin Michael Richardson (Shredder). Corey Feldman recurs as Slash.”

The second episode is going to be what seems to be a bit of an Alien homage called, “Invasion of the Squirrelanoids”.The mutagen madness makes it way into the sewers, and creates some hellishly scary lil woodland creatures. Or maybe this is just what Splinter looks like getting up on the wrong side of the bed…

 

We’re gonna have a great opening to the new season, so gather your friends, kids, parents, fellow turtle fans, plant your butt cannons on the couch and start the countdown!


(I have no idea if this clip is actually part of this episode, but I couldn’t resist…)
