Guides to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Early Access for Pledgeonauts & Up) (Patreon)

Hello, my powerful Plegeonauts! I'm excited to exclusively share my biggest two indie guides of the month so far with you...

• Guide to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles @ Mirage Studios (launch essay)
• Guide to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles @ IDW (launch essay)

##

Together, this pair of guides covers the entirety of the two "main" universes of TMNT continuity from 1984 to the present day.

Both of them involved some all-new, all-different research for me, which included closely scouring old solicit text, letters pages, and indicia to clarify what should be included in the guide and where it has been collected

There's still a world of additional TMNT comics to cover, including their Archie Comics years, their all-ages "Adventures" comics, and various non-continuity crossovers with other characters like Flaming Carrot, Power Rangers, and Batman. However, that world is far less-collected, and in many cases it will never be collected due to rights issues.

While I do have those pages on my longer-term list to tackle, they aren't a top priority right now - unless you tell me they are!

To see new guides and guide updates announced as they happen, keep an eye on the CK homepage.

What's up next on Crushing Comics?

Before the end of this major month of new guides you can look forward to the guide of another green hero, as well as the final pair of Image flagship books, and maybe another few of anthropomorphic heroes if I can keep on top of my schedule.

Then I'll be back to focusing on quick updates to existing guides in April while we settle back to a more reasonable regular schedule of new guides.

I'll have a longer update for you with the next all-Patrons guide release! Until then, please let me know in comments or direct messages any of your thoughts, questions, or requests! I've really enjoyed hearing from folks in DM lately, so don't be shy.
