Panel to Panel will now be offering the canceled MIRAGE UNIVERSE bookplate with the currently un-canceled (and let’s hope it stays that way) TMNT #1 FULL COLOR ONE-SHOT.
You can pre-order your copy here- TMNT Issue #1 Full Color One Shot with exclusive book plate
Since Mirage can’t release the Universe Book in trade form, what about seeing it in multiple issue releases? What do you guys think?

Since my minor…*ahem* indiscretion yesterday, GoGreenMachine has recieved a number of apology letters from various individuals in the community whom feel my outburst may have been directed at them. Now, let me start by saying that my statement on GGM yesterday was not directed at any one person in particular…nor even at a group of people really…more so at a consistently negative mindset exhibited by a number of people. One that I have become more and more uneasy with. Yesterdays wide assault on Peter for his actions simply brought my emotions on the topic to a head.
Having said that, I would like to share one of these letters with you:
This is not hate mail so I do hope that you read it. I have been a loyal Ninja Turtle fan since I grew up watching the 80’s TV show. When I heard the Mirage/Viacom News I am very ashamed to admit that I reacted like one of those people you mentioned in your rant. I was angry, disappointed, and felt betrayed, but after reading your rant and the post on Mr. Lairds blog, I ask for your forgiveness. I am very sorry for the way I reacted to the news, I think we (the fans) need to remember why we love TMNT. We watch, and read the Turtles, because of The Turtles! We love Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo, not the powers to be, I don’t wanna watch Peter Laird fight Foot Ninjas! I wanna watch the TMNT do it! There not dead, right? It will be different, but it will fun! Thanks for reading this, and please accept my apology, I wish you and everyone at GGM the best of luck! Cowabunga!
While I appreciate this letter from the bottom of my heart, and do believe this person is very sorry for their action, I would like to remind them, as well as the rest of you who may have fallen victim to this negative mindset…that I am not the one to whom you owe an apology.
Together, we will see this thing through.
Stephan & the Machines.
Very sad news coming from Panel to Panel.net
The MIRAGE UNIVERSE is canceled and refunds for pre-orders are being issued. And yes it is a serious bummer! Mirage has been so great to and for P2P since day one, I’m very sad for this chapter to end.
Please let us know what else you’d like to see. We need to know. It’s amazing how much turtle business we’ve done over the years, but we can’t figure what else turtle fans read. We’ll keep selling turtle books as long as we can get them.
So there you have it Turtles Fans we need to help Panel to Panel as much as we can. Email them what other books you read besides Turtles at info@paneltopanel.net.
This morning I awoke to roughly 50 emails in my inbox wondering if the book is still greenlit in light of the Viacom buyout. As you can imagine, that is our primary concern right now, and I had stayed mostly silent on the subject because I frankly didn’t know. I can tell you that I recieved this from Dan Berger this morning in regards to the fan book project:
I’m afraid I don’t know. Mirage’s stance on the project may not be the same as Nick’s, and I have no idea what they would do about it. I’m afraid the only way to find out would be to contact them – and unfortunately I don’t have any contact info for them at this time (don’t know if I ever will). I’m sorry.
GoGreenMachine is doing everything in our power to open those lines of communication, and will keep you as up to date as we possibly can.
