Naturally, the day I decide to skip out on going to WonderCon is the day of a big announcement. :p Just a short while ago, comic book publisher IDW announced at WonderCon that they have secured the comic book publishing rights for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.From the press release:
IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will kick off with an ongoing series this summer, featuring new and exciting storylines that also maintain the “turtle power” core beloved by millions of fans. In addition to the all-new series, TMNT fans will also be treated to newly remastered collections of classic Turtles comics, beginning with the original 1980s series that started this worldwide phenomenon.
An article on ComicBookResources.com also states:
The new series will not continue the "Tales of TMNT" series Mirage published, Dunbier said, but will be based on the original comics. "We'll be doing all new stuff. But we'll also be doing collections of the old material. We'll be doing a beautiful hardcover collection of the first 11 issues, one giant hardcover volume, over 400 pages of material."
I'll give IDW a visit tomorrow at WonderCon and see if I can dig up anything more.
Well, that settles it. Time to put a portfolio together.

Nice work. Thanks for sharing that. One of my biggest questions since Nick took ownership...now answered. Sweet!
ReplyDeleteNice to see they'll be releasing the old source material too. Looks like Nick is heading in the right direction. I was a bit afraid when that DVD Turtles Forever was released.
