IDW TMNT ongoing thread

Tatoruzu · 2025-02-04T20:06:00+00:00

Doesn't make sense to have a thread for every new release, so here's a thread to discuss ongoing releases for the main series as they come out. So we migh...

Tatoruzu

I guess this should've been obvious with April's use of Casey's hockey stick in issue #7.

But looks like April is going to be the "new Casey" now lol.

I think this could work out pretty well in this run... It makes sense while Casey is hospitalized. I'm sure April had some ninja training at some point in time in the past 150+ issues (I can't remember for certain).

But it makes me worried for the future of Casey's character franchise-wide. I don't want "Casey" to continue to be a girl or have Casey and April's characters merged in future iterations. But this is usually how shit like that starts — think about how much Spider-Gwen is shoved in our faces.

Tatoruzu I'm sure April had some ninja training at some point in time in the past 150+ issues (I can't remember for certain).

she was trained by casey himself very early in volume 1 in exchange for exam lessons iirc

MrSlash

Tatoruzu hopefully she won't call herself Casey Jones because that would be dumb as Casey Jones is not a mantle but a person

Gort

Tatoruzu i only collect A covers but god i love this cover. maybe because the hairline being pushed so far back reminds me of ro laren

Tatoruzu

Gort I'm sure that's not all Casey gave her :^]

Tatoruzu

MrSlash Thankfully, I don't think that will happen... this iteration

Tatoruzu

Gort I want to start buying Ferreyra covers but my comic shop ignores like half my requests anyway. It's not malicious or anything, he's just a forgetful man.

Gort

Tatoruzu its just annoying when the variant covers are better than the main cover. at the end of the day theyll all be in the hardcover but still...

like cover D for issue 7 was done by Stjepan Šejić and i really wouldve liked to have that one (i just like the way he draws women so him drawing april is cool) but its a D cover and variant covers are just a rabbit hole i refuse to fall down because it would destroy me.

goddammit look at the C cover for 8

why is this not the main cover??

SpiderBytez

Gort why does the first image lowkey look kinda ai generated 💀

Tatoruzu

Gort

SpiderBytez

Yeah, the turtles do look kinda weird in that first one, but April looks pretty good

Gort

SpiderBytez the mans whole schtick is drawing pretty men and women so you tell him to draw some ugly turtle men and he fumbled a bit im not too mad abour it tho. the background's perspective seems a bit borked too.

SpiderBytez

Tatoruzu she does. Really like the way she looks, shes so pretty. One of my favorite TMNT women (Except rise and mm, fuck them hoes)

SpiderBytez

Gort understandable, lmao. The turtles remind me of the Michael bay films turtles, without the tattoos. It's like the 2d version of them.

MrSlash

dose anyone find it odd that pigeon Pete is so far the only TMNT 2012 character that appeared in the main IDW TMNT comics

Tatoruzu

MrSlash Is there a list out there of all the characters introduced in 2012? Would be interesting to see

SpiderBytez

Tatoruzu I was about to say "Irma!" with such confidence but she was in 1987

SpiderBytez

Tatoruzu there is Timothy though, the dude that wanted Donnie to mutate him? God I hated him so much. IDK if he was in any other iterations though.

MrSlash

Tatoruzu the other ones besides Pete that were created for the 2012 series were

Tiger claw, Fishface, snakeweed, dream beavers, sal commander, kraang prime, kraang sub prime, monkey brains, sir Malachi, chompy, jack kurtzman, ice cream kitty, Dr Cluckingsworth, Justin, Shinigami, Mira, Squirrelanoids, Ho Chan, Fungus Humungous, Spyroach, the creep, speed demon, chimera, Don Vizioso, Kavaxas and Verminator Rex.

i don't think Spider Bytez and Newtralizer count since there was a mutant spider monster with the same name from the 2003 series and newtralizer was based on a scrapped character from the original TMNT toy-line

SpiderBytez

MrSlash I read 'spider bytez' and I thought you were talking about me even though my dumbass based my user off the spider in 2012 💀

MrSlash

SpiderBytez 🤣🤣
