The End

This here's a preview for Tales of the TMNT #64. My last story with Mirage. It's amazing to look at, but there's a touch of sadness in reading it knowing it's the last. It's in stores VERY soon!

Back in the Saddle

Okay, so...

It's been a while since I last posted here. Sorry! Twitter makes things easy and I can do it by phone!

Anyway, what's been happening?

I've moved into a new place with a couple of the coolest dudes you could want to meet.

My parents officially separated.

My final TMNT comic (for the time being at least) is currently in the capable hands of my good friend Steve Lavigne.

I'm knee deep in research for Tyrant Earth, which has been a heap of fun and is finally looking like it should.

I'm hoping I've got the girl I was after to sit as reference for a character in my script+art OGN project (meeting with her next week to discuss -- book still a ways off though).

I'm working on a Zuda project with one of the coolest artists I've met (keep an eye out -- "Six to the Head" -- ghost story set in the Old West), and the same artist will be working on "Skinwalkers" after.

Bought TMNT - Smash Up! and was pretty disappointed. The Jim Lawson/Eric Talbot cutscenes were amazing, but the game itself was just really disappointing.

Currently re-editing a promo real for a male strip-show. Was told it was "too porno". Go figure!

I've landed a "job" reviewing Wiiware games for www.vooks.net. I say "job" because I get paid in games :)

Also back reviewing games and comics with a mate at www.digital-retribution.com. By buddy wrote the first one -- Dead Space: Extraction. I'm doing the game review, which should be up soonish.

Need a new job.

Need more comic work.

Also, be sure to pick up Ghostbusters: Displaced Aggression, by IDW. It's a great book and the better these books sell, the more chance you have at seeing me write a mini-series. Two words: Stay Puft. You should be checking this book out anyways, TMNT artist Diego Jourdan is illustrating the X-Mas oneshot, and it looks great!

More to come!

Peace!

Exposition on "Exposé"


Looks like #59 went up on the official Ninja Turtles website this morning vilsht I vaz shleppingk!

Tales of the TMNT #59

Ship Date: June, 2009

Format: 32 B&W pages, full color cover, standard size comic

Retail Price: $3.25

Cover art by Paul Harmon and Steve Lavigne; script by Tristan Jones, art by Paul Harmon

"Exposé" - Journalist Lauren Stanton investigates the suspicious circumstances surrounding the early release of notorious criminal Hunter (Hun) Mason from prison and its connection to the mysterious Foot Clan. As Stanton delves deeper into New York City's underworld, she'll discover unfathomable evil lurking in the darkness and her only hope to escape might not be entirely human...

Critically acclaimed creators Tristan Jones and Paul Harmon return to further explore the seedier side of the Mirage Universe, introducing an insidious new villain and giving readers a fresh look at the TMNT themselves. A perfect jumping on point for new readers!

...

Can't wait, I'm really excited about this one! Hun comes back, Lin comes back (google Tales of the TMNT #36 for more info), and a brand new villain makes his debut! Nasty bastard too... Oh, and there are explosions and lots of big fights involving heaps of people. There's no real need to know anything outside of who the Turtles are if you're new to the whole thing, but if you want to get the full THX style experience of this one and really milk it (like the cameos and whatnot), you might want to see if you can dig up Tales #36 & #50, and maybe pick up Tales #56 when it hits next month (nudge-nudge, wink-wink)!

True Colours

The final colour (color) cover for #50! Steve did a fantastic job - looks wicked! I really love the colour choices for the Mothman and the Bunyip! Gotta love all the reds, yellows and browns too -- very Aussie!

One last monsterism in honour of this moment:


Movie: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: The Secret of the Ooze
Subject: The Super Shredder

I don't think anyone saw this coming and I think every kid that saw this reacted with the same half constipated, half stupefied, back straight, eyes-in-the-spotlight look of total amazement and shock that equated to the simple "Holy Shit!" response in adults. The technical aspects of Shredder's super transformation are as flimsy as those old 5.25 inch computer disks, and the fact that he gets completely owned in a matter of screen-seconds doesn't really hamper the fact that he looks cool in the shot above. Looking back, you can imagine him being 200 feet tall and fighting the Power Rangers... man the 90's were terrible!
