This spot from Dierna..::




Everyone’s favorite anthropomorphic reptiles,
Michelangelo, Leonardo, Raphael and Donatello, return
to the funny books in Digital Webbing Presents #24.
While the Teenager Mutant Ninja Turtles are still
appearing in their own comic books from Mirage
Studios, namely TMNT and Tales of the TMNT, Kevin
Eastman and Peter Laird’s creations are making their
debut in Digital Webbing’s “Internet Collaborative”
anthology in the July issue of DWP.




“The story focuses on Raphael -- he's on his way to
deliver a mysterious package,” Ed Dukeshire, owner and
publisher of DWP explained. “Time is running out as
everyone is counting on him, but then he's ambushed
and outnumbered by Foot Soldiers.”




“Basically, I asked a buddy (Dan Berger) who worked at
Mirage Studios to hook me up. I've known Dan for close
to 10 years now. Dan used to write the syndicated TMNT
comic strip, so he's no stranger to the Turtles and
was my only choice to write this tale. He had some
ideas floating around, showed them to Peter for
approval and magic started happening. We wanted the
original Turtles and were fortunate enough that Peter
allowed it.




“My #1 choice for an artist was Andie Tong, who also
illustrated the Khenan feature in Digital Webbing
Presents #14. Andie is a huge TMNT fan and was very
excited to work on this story. I've known Andie for a
while now, and even worked with him on Masters of the
Universe. He's very professional, nails deadlines and
excellent to work with.




“Andie hooked me up with Darren Close to ink and
Jeremy Roberts to color/paint. The creative team
knocked this one out of the park -- you could tell
they were doing this for the love of the characters.”




“For me, it was a fun project that gave me a break
from my other gigs,” Tong added. “Further more, I can
now cross off another favorite 80s title on my list of
dream projects I'd like to work on. But hopefully, in
the future, I'll get an opportunity to pencil a
longer, more in depth storyline for these green
fighting machines. That would be grand."




The original black and white Eastman and Laird’s
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first debuted in 1984 and
proved successful enough to inspire a Saturday morning
cartoon in 1987, a live-action feature film and its
two sequels, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The
Secret of the Ooze and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
III: Turtles in Time, many video games and most
recently, a new animated series and the short-lived
Dreamwave comic by Peter David and LeSean Thomas in
2003.




For the record, TMNT co-creator Peter Laird even
previously lettered and edited the Gutwallow: Fury of
the Furry mini-series, also published by Digital
Webbing Press.




According to Dukeshire, the publisher is celebrating
the fifth year of publishing the anthology this year.
“DWP has been around since December 2001… time flies!”..

Digital Webbing Presents #24 should hit stands in July !!

Mikey's TMNT is a fun and crazy place ..doing our best to provide a cool and safe place for Ninja Turtle talk,fandom,artwork,multi-media, and fun from all walks o'life.
This in from the main man Mikey QM, tho' ::




"The bulk of the site is the forum database ..




The account is past due for renewal, as I don't have enough money in paypal to give my payment NOR have I been able to change my payment options from paypal to a debit card. It's a mess.




So, even though I don't want to, I'm going to start asking for donations.




If anyone is interested, you can donate to cyborgdon@aol.com .."




..in my personal experience..Mikey's TMNT has been a major source of community and friendship. Alot of the growth i've had..not just as a TMNT fan but as a person has been incredible & in some cases crucial for my survival. And on lighter notes it's just a fun alternative to sqwak,get TMNT news, and chit-chat with fellow creators,writers,artists and weirdos. A real grassroots website imperfect and goofy as it can get..we couldn't have continued without our friends.And even tOkKa here has to bite the bullet andthank you all so much..for this labour of love !!




You guy's help keep this place alive ..and i don't know how Mikey or me could have done it without your support.




Your donations help keep us goin' and are always appreciated..but we're kind of in a bind here. I know money is so crazy tight nowadays.. but even a dollar or two helps put us tword our $90 goal. We're lookin' to out pals to help us out (tOkK's gonna try to muster up some cash to 'shell' out as well).




Please consider donating ..and thanks from the bottom of our hearts !!

Hey
Everyone,

It's
been too long since I posted anything up here at Mikey's, and yet it seems I've not been working on any comics, BUT... I have been keeping up and staying on track. It's just I keep forgetting to mention it on here, as Dribble For Kids has moved onto Issue 5, which is the Season Finale to Season 2. Oooo the drama of it all! 

 

When
Last we left on Page 19 of Issue 4: Fellowship of the Sweater, The Masked 1 has attacked the D4K gang and is tearing the bar in the mall up, looking for them, but more importantly, looking for the sweater!! Find out what happens at the end of Issue 4's... "shocking" conclusion, as it heads to the Season Finale of Season 2, which is Lord of the Sweaters Chapter 3: Betrayal of the Sweater, which is already on Page 5.

In Chapter
3 of Lord of the Sweaters, Charlie, Jimmy and a slowly mentally
unstable Penny must fend off the Masked 1 and his new co-hort Denny!  It
seems SAPS Incorporated is gaining the upperhand... if only Nick and Nate were
still alive to rescue them!  Ah, but there is something else, no-- SOMEONE
else at work here, which will throw the odds back in our heroes' favor... or it
will be the ruin of them....

 

Without
further Adieu'.....

Here's
Issue 4:

-->>Special thanx to our forum's 'Vember'& Bry Kotyk for this cool tip ::




"..full props go to a "Bry Kotyk (goldeneyed)" of Livejournal for posting in the TMNT community there.









I really liked the original comments, so:
Bry Kotyk (goldeneyed) wrote:
Considering the way the franchise has been handled recently, I guess it's safe to assume the new movie will be based far more strongly on the original comic books than previous efforts. Based on what little can be seen of Leonardo himself, the Turtles seem based visually on their initial appearances - small bodies, big hands/forearms, "sharper" facial features... The focus on that sharp, shining blade doesn't exactly make me foresee the guys playing football with cans of ooze or fighting off ninjas with a set of cymbals, either. I was sort of hoping they'd go all out and put all four Turtles in the red headbands, but I wasn't really expecting it. Looks good, though. Very good.
Here's a link to the discussions there. "

TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES VOLUME ONE: ATTACK OF THE MOUSERS
24th June 2005 • £7.99 • 1-84576-092-1

The world famous Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are back, once more bringing their brand of mutated mayhem to aspiring young ninjas across the land! This collection of brand new material brings the Turtles bang up to date with a darker twist and jaw-dropping, all-action storytelling!
They hail from the New York City sewers, mutated from unwanted pets into wise-cracking Ninja masters by a mysterious ooze…



Taught Knowledge and Ninjitsu by the wise Master Splinter, it’s time for the world to get re-acquainted with the shellsome foursome: Leonardo, Raphael, Michaelangelo and Donatello — the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! Emerging from the sewers, the Turtles hit the city streets just as the evil Dr Baxter Stockman prepares to unleash an army of robotic ‘mousers’ – steel mouths on legs ready to devastate everything in their path!



But who is the mysterious villain behind Stockman’s plans - and the leader of the vicious Purple Dragons street gang? Could it be… the Shredder? An all-new series by fan-favourite writer Peter David (Supergirl, The Incredible Hulk, Star Trek), dynamically illustrated by talented newcomer LeSean Thomas!

• Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were the major breakout comics success of the 1990s, spawning the longest-running cartoon series of the time, three movies, two chart-topping songs, and hundreds of arcade and home computer games, toys and merchandising items.
  
• A new Ninja Turtles cartoon is currently showing on GMTV and Jetix!
  
• A new CGI movie directed by Kevin Munroe is currently in development, to debut in 2007!
  
• As well as writing Supergirl and the longest consecutive run of issues on The Incredible Hulk, Peter David has scripted episodes and tie-in novels for the Star Trek franchise.
  
• Newcomer LeSean Thomas first brought his energetic, manga-influenced style to the independent fantasy comic Arkanium, before hitting the big time with TMNT.
