TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES - Serio Comics 12
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES written and drawn and originally self-published by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, from The Ultimate Collection Vol. 1 published by IDW and Nickelodeon
Comic Con was great
Suffice to say, for now, I learned a lot about the comics and graphic novel publishing business from my host ;)
And can’t wait to employ that knowledge in my SHOULD WE BUY A GUN? endeavor
This past weekend I had the very fun and honestly enlightening experience of watching with a dad friend and their child in the theater the most recent cinematic contribution to the TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES franchise:
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES: Mutant Mayhem
So I also decided to go back and read the original comic book that it’s based off of
Not only because Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird successfully self-published the comic and turned it into films (and TV shows and much more)
But because I really admired some of the depictions of masculinity in the 2023 adaptation by Seth Rogen and the rest of his producing/writing/directing team
I and my illustrator for SHOULD WE BUY A GUN? are nearing the 3/4th mark of completion of our book

So the project truly feels completable finally
