TMNT Prequel Comics and Adaption on the way…

Thursday, Mar. 1 2007 | Author: Michael

Newsarama has a brief interview with Steve Murphy about the upcoming TMNT prequel comics as well as the official movie adaption coming later this month.

The Prequel comics will be:

1 – Raphael (by Steve Murphy and Fernando Pinto)
2 – Michelangelo (by Jake Black and Mr Exes)
3 – Donatello (by Steve Murphy and Jim Lawson)
4 – April (by Jake Black and Andres Ponce)
5 – Leonardo (by Steve Murphy and Dario Brizuela)

Each prequel will provide a back story for the character it focuses on, letting us know where they have been and what they have been doing prior to the opening of the film.

The prequels will be hitting comic shops on March 7th (Raphael and Michelangelo), March 14th (Donatello and April), and March 21st (Leonardo). The official movie adaption will be hitting shelves March 28th, the week after the films release. The adaption might be worth picking up just because it is based on the final shooting draft of the script. As a result, there are a few scenes in the comic that won’t be making it into the final cut of the film.
