    The May spreadsheet is up, and my order is very tentative:

    Gotham Central, volume two

    Noir, volume one

    Previews

    Unknown Soldier: Haunted House (It's $5.00, so I can't pass it up.)

    not getting the TMNT collected book? i'm very dissapointed.

    Is DCBS going to bill me or are they just going to charge my card? My order is still unpaid, I'm just curious.

    you can e-mail or call them and they can charge your card immediatley otherwise it will probably get charged in the middle of the month.

    Unlike the Superman franchise, I'm fine to have producers pretend there's only one Turtles villain.

    What about Krang? Rocksteady? Bebop? I'll be very annoyed if the next TMNT film doesn't feature the Technodrome.

    none of these are actual Turtle villians, all of these characters along with the Technodrome are all creations from the 80's cartoon not the actual comics. The real Turtles villians are Baxter Stockman (sociopathic black dude who created the Mousers not white dude who turns into a fly), Shredder and the Foot Clan, Complete Carnage, The Rat King, Karai, The Purple Dragons, and many more.

    With Peter Laird apart of it and Mirage you know it will be.

    I wouldn't be so sure of that. Peter Laird seems to be content with the PG rated sanitized version of the turtles, and as long as Gary Richardson is still involved with Mirage the focus will always be on licensing products in the cheapest way possible (the fact that 4Kids is already being named as licensor is troubling). I still hold out some hope that they are going a different path this time but i'll have to wait and see.

    "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™ Come Alive

    In Major Motion Picture for 2011

    New Theatrical Film to tell Origin Story of the Legendary Characters

    Los Angeles, April 23, 2009— The Mirage Group has given the green light for development of a live-action major motion picture focusing on the origins of the iconic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, targeted for release in 2011.

    Announcement of the latest (fifth) big screen version of the crime-fighting “heroes in a half-shell” comes on the day the Turtles kick off their 25th anniversary national “Shell-ebration” in New York City with multiple events that include the honor of lighting the Empire State Building in ‘turtle green’ and a unique outdoor presentation of their beloved first “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” film at the Tribeca Film Festival “Drive-In”.

    Mirage is partnering with producers Scott Mednick (“300”, “Superman Returns”, “10,000 BC”, and the upcoming “Where the Wild Things Are”) and Galen Walker (who produced the most recent computer-animated “TMNT” theatrical release) to create this live action film. Peter Laird, Gary Richardson, Frederick Fierst, Eric Crown and Napoleon Smith III will serve as executive producers of the film, which is based on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters created by Laird and Kevin Eastman. Mednick and Walker will serve as producers. The project is being funded through Lightbox Productions, LLC.

    “It was critical to us to find people who both understood the Turtles franchise and were accomplished film makers who appreciated both the action and humor components of the Turtles’ identity ,” said Gary Richardson CEO, The Mirage Group. “With Galen and Scott we know we’ve found great talent with those essential attributes.”

    “The original dozen comics created by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman are some of the best source material one could hope for,” said Mednick. “We’re excited to bring this story to a whole new generation of moviegoers as well as the legions of fans that have made the Turtles - Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael as well as Splinter, April O’Neil, Casey Jones and, of course, the great villain Shredder - a part of their world for 25 years.”

    Mednick has begun reaching out to writers and directors and is already in discussion with several high-profile actors interested in portraying Turtles characters they loved as kids.

    4Kids Entertainment, master licensing agency for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles property, will be handling all of the movie merchandise licensing.

    The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles made their public premiere in May 1984 in a comic book published and distributed by Mirage Studios. A hugely successful TV series quickly followed, along with a record-setting licensing program and three successful live-action theatrical films. In 2003, the Turtles were re-introduced to a new generation through a fresh TV series, a computer- animated theatrical movie and new merchandising program. The 25th year of TMNT will provide fans of all ages with the opportunity to experience this evergreen property in a ten-city mobile tour highlighted by the TMNT Party Bus, a rolling museum of TMNT memorabilia

    I am both excited and skeptical on this one. I have always been pretty happy with the first live-action TMNT movie from 1990 which i felt was a fine adaptation of the first batch of Eastman & Laird issues and probably the best balance between the darkness and the humor that the franchise has always been known for. The fact that this new movie is basically going to be a reboot means that it's going to have to retread over the same ground again. On the plus side if we get to see Baxter Stockman, the Mousers, and everyone rockin the red bandanas it could all be worth it lol. Also it's been almost 20 years since the first movie, so i guess there is enough distance to retell the origin again onscreen, and expose it to a new generation. Hopefully it will also atleast be PG-13.

    Norma Jean - Robots 3 Humans 0

    I saw them in concert a few months ago. They were so loud and incoherent, I couldn't understand a word of any of their songs.

    i am seeing them live next week. hopefully i will have a better experience

    np: Team Sleep - Our Ride To The Rectory

    I read the first issue the other day, and liked it. It certainly wasn't up to the standards of what Morrison has been doing with Batman but i don't think it's deserving of all the hate it has been getting either. There were a few cool moments all in all and i will probably go pick up issue #2 and #3 when i get a chance.

    WHTTCC part one was a farce if anything and had zero storytelling from an artist who is better than what was put in there. The best part about that story was the kid watching the cars. Even that got old. I loathed that issue.

    kinda suprised by that reaction. i thought it was the perfect companion piece to what Morrison has been doing with Batman the last few years, and was the best work i have ever seen from Kubert.

    Haven't read BFTC yet, but i am sure it will be "meh" at best.
