Newsarama Preview and interview for the upcoming Leonardo Micro series

Categories:

Next month will see the release of the 4th Ninja Turtles Micro series issue, this time focusing on Leonardo. The story will mark the first time the turtles will come face to face with the foot Clan.

Newsrama interviewed the micro series writer Brian Lynch and the talented artist Ross Campbel about this upcoming issue.

From the interview: ”

Nrama: In the solicits it says this issue will show the first-ever battle between the Turtles and the Foot Clan. What’s it like to plan out such a pivotal moment in the mythos?

Lynch: I couldn’t believe my luck. When we discussed the events, I kept waiting for my editors Bobby Curnow or Tom Waltz, or Nickelodeon to say “wait, maybe we should save this for the regular series.” It’s the moment when Luke Skywalker meets his first Storm Trooper. Except Leo’s cooler than Luke Skywalker. The whole issue has a weight to it that the others don’t, it’s an epic story.”

Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8

Categories:

Hitting store shelves today, the 8th issue of the ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles continues the 2nd arc of this awesome reboot. So how is this issue compared to the last ones? Keep reading to find out.

ps: Beware, the following review contain some spoilers!

Story:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 picks up right where the last issue ended. With the Turtles home being attacked by the infamous mousers robots whom are controlled by the sneaky mutant cat Old hob. The fight rages on, as the turtles are outnumbured by the wall munching robots. Hob’s intentions are clear, as Baxter stockman explained to an impatient general krang: Retrieving splinter to their labs in order to extract the mutagen, in its pure form, from his body. Baxter also explained the reason why he didn’t just extract the mutagen from Old Hob. The mutagen in his blood has been tainted by being exposed to the ground in the alley where the old cat first came in contact with the ooze.

Unhappy with Stockman’s slow progress, General Krang (who seems to be losing a battle with what appears to be a more serious and adult version of the neutrinos from the 4th episode of the original ninja turtles cartoon series) made it clear that failure will mean death for Baxter.  Read more...

Comicbookmovie.com interviews Peter Laird about all things Ninja Turtles

Categories:

Comicbookmovie.com posted a nice interview with TMNT co-creator Peter Laird, where all kinds of Ninja Turtles topics are discussed: From the original cartoon series to Michael Bay’s controversial comment. And if you know Peter, you know what kind of answers to expect: Honest, right to the point, and sometimes even brutal.

Below are couple snippets from the interview courtesy of comicbookmovie.com:

 

Peter, you weren’t a huge fan of the 80’s animated series, but if you had to take a few elements from that show and apply it to a new live-action film, which would they be?” 

If you are talking about elements of that show AS THEY WERE USED IN THE SHOW, I would say “nothing.”

 

Knowing that Kevin Eastman is working with Michael Bay and Jonathan Liebesman on the live-action film, does that make you more comfortable? 

Not really. Given that one of the last things Kevin did when we were still partners was to push hard for the inclusion of “Venus de Milo”, the wretched “girl Turtle” in the live-action TV series “TMNT: The Next Mutation.” It’s safe to say that he and I have different views on what should and shouldn’t be done with the Turtles. That being said, his point of view on these things may have changed in the last twelve years. I don’t really know. I guess you could say it doesn’t make me more OR less comfortable.  Read more...

Jim Lawson, the main artist of the 4th Volume of the Mirage TMNT comics posted the below picture on his facebook page with the following message: “Hey Michael Bay!”

 

What do you guys think?

 

source: Jim Lawson’s facebook page

 

UPDATE:

Jim Lawson added 2 more images and more text proving that he is making fun of Bay’s TMNT alien vision:

“After a generations old war between their species draws to a close, the Shredulonians and the Turtles bring their latest battle to Earth…”

“Earth has got the hottest chicks.”

“Just give me a walk-on role as an innocent bystander that the building falls on in the climatic final battle scene (with explosions)!”
