I guess 2019 is just the year mermaids in video games made me cry. #LinksAwakening #DQXIS

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

ICYMI, Turtle #Jennika wasn’t the only rad thing about #TMNT 95. The issue also includes the Year Three Oral History that I put together from interviews from virtually all the creators on the series that year.

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

This is true! I'm moderating the IDW #TMNT panel at #SDCC2019! We're going to talk about where the series is going, and how it's always been driving there. You thought Jennika was huge? Sister, you don't even know huge yet.

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

If anyone’s reading #TMNT 94 and is like “wait - who are these guys?”, that’s totally cool: this is the first appearance of Zodi, Null and Krisa in the main @IDWPublishing series.

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

#TMNT 94 is out tomorrow, and not only is the story barreling towards the craziest developments that are guaranteed to light your brain on fire, but it also includes the second Oral History made up of interviews I did with the creators!

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

Star Wars 67 comes out next month, and in addition to being @kierongillen's last issue on the series, it thematically wraps up what Marvel started with #StarWars no. 1 in January of 2015. This is what a Disney-era Star Wars finale looks like.

[Patrick Ehlers @Patrick_Ehlers]

Turtles 93 is out today, which means #CityatWar is here and awesome.

ALSO AWESOME: it includes part 1 of my 8-part Oral History of @IDWPublishing's run on #TMNT featuring my interviews with @TomWaltz, @thedisastrix, @kevineastman86, @BrianLynch, & @DanDuncanArt! Read & love it!

Krang is unlocked! We're now at over $375 in value on TMNT Cityfall!

"This issue confronts just how much terrifying infinity there is in both life and death, in stories that wrap up nicely, and in stories that refuse to quit." @Patrick_Ehlers

Reed's feud with Arboro was almost a real cliche, but this moment breaths whole new life into it. I love the lesson for Val (and that we SEE her play dumb earlier in the issue)--THIS is the way to tackle "family" in modern times.

"In many ways, the documentary format itself sets the pacing for this issue, establishing six square panels as a kind of heartbeat for each page." @d_baumgartner &

"...@skottieyoung is giving this away on page five... y'know, if we're tuned in enough to notice it." @Patrick_Ehlers discusses the magic hiding in plain sight in Young and @jecorona's Middlewest #1 https://t.co/A0Tehg7kT5

"Charles Soule takes something as simple as 'Darth Vader has a lava castle' and adds deeper layers of pain, love and art to it."
