The comic ties into the GotG end credits scene.. he interacts with several superheroes in the book.

A good article about it, and it actually sounds intriguing.

I haven't read many of the series that have come out since 2012 to be honest.. I'm still reading OLD stuff, I basically use it as reading material on flgiths and bathroom breaks and while I'm waiting to do something.

I can understand that. I'm really behind on the different ones I read, but I keep getting more anyway, lol. Figure one day I'll get them all read. But with so little free time, it's hard to find time to sit down and read through too many, or very often. I end up reading different ones based on how much time I have and what I'm in the mood for, or if it's a new one I just can't wait to read. The struggle is real. :haha:

I swear I should start a general nerd-dom thread for stuff that isn't exactly comic book discussion. But anyway....

For anyone who might be a Joker fan, TeeFury has a pretty cool shirt, called "The Triple Prankster," available today.

Superheroes are awesome.

Huh, not sure why I didn't get an update. Must have missed a few posts I guess. But yeah, holy crap.

Holy cow @Just Kevin - I thought Donatello was just hurt real bad, but apparently he's legit dead (from the sounds of it anyway)

The comic series is written by Tom Waltz and TMNT co-creatorKevin Eastman, and thanks to IGN we have some details to share with you on the moments leading up to his death.

"Leonardo, Raphael, and Michelangelo were trying to stop Krang from terraforming the planet using the alien ‘Technodrome,’ leaving Donatello running command from their home base. Shredder had ordered Bebop and Rocksteady to kill Donatello if anything went wrong, and sure enough, something did. Donatello tried to fight them off, even getting some help from Metalhead (being controlled by scientist Harold Lillia), but the duo was too much. The killing blow came when Rocksteady smashed his shell with a sledgehammer."

Wow, that's crazy to think about. Of course comics are notorious for bringing characters back somehow. But to come out say he did actually die.........

@Danielson - you seen this story yet?

EDIT: Oh maybe not dead after all....page from the planned issue of TMNT for FCBD (looks like Laird will actually be somewhat close to me that day)

Spoiler

Wells Maine!
