Ninja Turtles Adventures #62: Meet the Future-Turtles
Since a bunch of people were confused by my last post (not surprising, as it was the tail-end of a 5-part story), lbd_nytetrayn suggested I post some scans from Part 1 to sort of belatedly introduce people to the Turtles 100 years in the future. (Well, 85 years now...it was originally published in '94.)

Donatello is now a billionaire thanks to his inventions. His time-slip generator tends to create problems, though, as befits a time-travel device. During the first story arc with the Future-Turtles, it was stolen by the shark mutant Armaggon. Don's still trying to fix it.

Leonardo runs a dojo, and he and his students patrol the city, doing the hero thing.

(By the way. Girl on the left in the last panel? April's great-granddaughter.)

Raph and his wife Mezcaal run a bar. I find this awesome.

And, since lbd_nytetrayn also requested a decent shot of the Turtles in their Cyber Samurai armor, here's one from issue 63, Part 2 of the same arc:

Any more questions about what the heck this arc is about, please refer to the archives on the offical site: http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/archie.htm

	All I can think of is that I hope the Samurai Pizza Cats sued their asses for copyright infringement. :p (Reply to this) (Thread)

	They'll have to get in line behind Yoraiden Samurai Trooper/Ronin Warriors, and depending on whether the armour transform or not, Saint Seiya. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	But . . . But the Samurai Pizza Cats have more fur than any turtle ever had . . . Plus, they're both stronger than old cheese and stronger than dirt! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Indeed, and if you step on their tails, someone's gonna get hurt. :) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The Turtles are a hundred years old? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Not the regular ones, but these Future!Turtles are. Regular turtles can reach those ages after all. (Probably not the sewer dwelling kind they mutated from, but lets not fret about the details to much.) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I imagine it's possible the mutagen didn't hurt matters any... Bigger, stronger, smarter, longer-living... Speaking as a rat owner, I can say it's a miracle Splinter lived as long as he did. --LBD "Nytetrayn" (Reply to this) (Parent)

Any specific requests? You can peruse the link I provided to see if anything catches your eye. (I don't have issues 43 or 70-72, though.)

Some more Archie Turtles links:

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/miniseries.htm (I have 5 of the 6 April O'Neil issues, all of "Donatello and Leatherhead", and the first two Merdude issues.)

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/specials.htm (I have #1, #4-6, #8-10, and "TMNT Meet the Conservation Corps", which would make Captain Planet roll his eyes.)

http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/mutanimals.htm (I got the whole dang run.)

	I'd love to see some of the issue/s where the Mutanimals first meet Slash. Sadly, finding a good regular comic shop was hard at the time. The last issue of MM would be nice, too. I wound up picking up around where the badly drawn back-up minis took place with the Future Turtles in the main book, about one or two parts in. --LBD "Nytetrayn" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	The last Mutanimals issue is the one where they met Slash, so that's two turtles with one mutagen canister. ;) The flashback in Part 1 of the Future Shark Trilogy is also a go. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Oh, btw-- I bet questions are going to come sooner or later about Raph's eye. The backstory behind the Future Turtles' first visit might be a good one to post. --LBD "Nytetrayn" (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Raph looks like a Gundam, Leo's got a sharky thing going on... Don and Mikey are just ugly... (Reply to this)

	Ahhhhh. Too awesome. Mikey draws. Raph is married. I really, really wanna own this stuff. Anything you post'd be most welcome! Thanks! (Reply to this)

	By the way. Girl on the left in the last panel? April's great-granddaughter So who did April marry? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	stretchdude 2009-03-25 04:18 pm UTC (link)
	They never officially hook up during the series, but April's love interest in the Archie comics is fireman Chu Hsi, who in his first appearance gains the ability to transform into the giant Warrior Dragon. (Reply to this) (Parent)
