In the series, the Turtles -- and Shredder -- find themselves transported from their dimension to the DC Universe's Gotham City.

So they're going the DK3 route with a fuckton of retailer exclusive variants.
If only Tynion wasn't the writer on this I would be getting them all.
Will Nobody be in it?
We all know Bats and Leo will be silent besties.
This is so stupid and absolutely everything I've ever wanted
Really? GameStop?

....this isn't Kingdom Hearts!.....nah just kidding the character? Not likely as she's minor.

Damn good stuffbut why aren't they eating at a table?
>>77433394
As much as I love Allred's art, the Turtles are kind of a mess.
>>77433401
The Turtles' eyes are bothering me, but otherwise great
>>77433421
Not quite sure what's going on in the fight, but 9/10
>>77434087
Best of the bunch; composition, colouring, lineart... everything is 10/10
I'm curious. Will Batman fight the Shredder? Will the Turtles fight Killer Croc?
>>77433586
They couldn't use Funcoland now could they?
>>77433594
>she's minor.
>she
She?
>>77433354
I'm not sure someone pointed the homage
>>77436411
Rimshot.
>>77436432
Ever see the 2K3 show? Remember Casey's little friend Angel?
A grown up version of her is IDW's version of Nobody.
>>77436543
How old is she in IDW by the way? Around 20? Like Casey and April.
>>77436666
Lat teens, early 20s, somewhere in that range.
These retailer variants seem weird to me. Like most people don't actually live near any of them so what's the point?
>writer James Tynion IV
alas
>>77436777
Yes that's what I thought. Karai too I guess. Based little chunin.

Why there never was Daredevil crossover?
>>77436912
Ask Marvel. Anyway a crossover with Daredevil would have been nice with Mirage turtles because of their origins but with IDW turtles it's not so coherent...
>>77436912
Considering how buddy buddy IDW, Marvel, and Disney are these days, that could very well happen.
>>77436991
What? Explain please.
>>77437017
Disney owns Marvel, IDW has the rights to reprint Marvel comics (and is doing new ROM and Micronauts comics), and Disney gave IDW exclusive rights to make new Mickey, Donald, and Goofy comics.
>>77437131
So, Disney knows marvel is trash and lets IDW handle their IPs? But IDW is not that much better.
>>77437131
Ok. Good to know. I don't really see a crossover with any Marvel characters. Marvel comics now are just...I don't know...crap?
>>77437207
If they thought Marvel was trash they wouldn't have given them Star Wars. And a few comics based on, bizarrely, Disney theme park rides.
>>77433354
So...
Dick = Leo
Ralph = Jason
Donnie = Tim
Mikey = Carrie.
>>77436777
so she's NOT a minor character then
>>77436475
ohhh okay. i didn't get it at first. I was like since when does he have a rod up his ass like that.
>>77437248
Well, Disney obviously just doesn't love Star Wars as much as their own IPs. Besides, Marvel is simply a bigger name than IDW by a large margin.
>>77436202
>yfw IDW Shredder meets Ra's Al Ghul
> The Foot Clan vs. League of Assassins
> Suddenly they realize they have a lot in common and in foes.
> Team-Up between both begins
>>77437289
Mikey =Stephanie
Look deep into your heart. You know it's true.
>>77437887
NO! She was a shitty robin!
And she stole the spot of first female robin from carrie kelly!
>>77433554
I said the same when I heard about the Green Lantern Star Trek crossover. It's great that company crossovers are still an ongoing trend
>>77436475
Ohhhhh... Now I feel dumb. In my defence, I haven't read TDKR in a while.
>>77437207
It's more that Marvel don't want to publish "funny animal" comics
>>77437248
Disney IPs in comics is really weird right now; I'd have put good money on Marvel just straight up becoming another Disney publishing house, but everything's all over the place. The last time things got anywhere near this crazy was when Dark Horse were publishing Tarzan, Monsters inc and The Incredibles adaptations, Slave Labor Graphics had about a dozen Gargoyles miniseries all at once and Gemstone were almost done shitting the bed with their stupid speculation crap.

>As much as I love Allred's art, the Turtles are kind of a mess.
I was gonna post saying "this guy's art is normally boring, and that mostly sucks because it's a boring composition and the Batman is awful, but the turtles are unusually expressive for him"
Then I read your comment and laughed out loud
What exactly is it about that guy's art that people like? Is it because people see it as "old-school"? Cuz I ain't seeing it (and if so what "old-school" art does his art resemble).
>>77433354
>not daredevil
Goddamnit
>>77441368
I just love Madman, man. If anything, the Turtles are a little TOO expressive for my liking - they're verging on "spaghetti & meatballs" on that cover.
>>77441604
>too expressive
No such thing, people make the silliest faces.
Okay, I figured his 90s art would be alright. The coloring on the modern stuff just sucks the life out of em and his (intentionally, but ehhhhh) stiff posing doesn't help.
I understand why people find his 90s stuff charming even if I'm not really a fan but stuff like this I just can't see anything to like about.
>>77436404
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. By Neal fuckin' Adams.
I love it. It's great. But it's also a sure sign that I have been reading these things too damn long!
