BeardedBubba Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 I got my copy yesterday! It's fantastic. I hadn't been that excited for a new release in years. The identity of the Ronin is revealed but I won't spoil it. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherEric Posted October 29, 2020 Share Posted October 29, 2020 Got mine today. Just for comparison, here's a scan of the book on top of Raphael #1. It's a little bit smaller than the classic oversized issues, but still bigger than a current comic: ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would assume Mag; I don't think it would fit in a normal comic slab. But I'm not the expert on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True me either, I thought it might be like the tick #1 Edit and I seem to recall the tick being in different slabs, my tick 1 is in a regular slab but we'll see Edited October 29, 2020 by ADAMANTIUM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ADAMANTIUM Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 But I guess this is a modern book just wanted to size it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turtle Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 (edited) One thing that puzzled me as a read it was that they explicitly laid out that Karai is Shredder's daughter...which means that this cannot be a possible future for the original Mirage run of comics. In the original run, Shredder and Karai weren't related and she even seemed to be higher up in the Foot Clan organization than he was, only coming over from Japan upon his death which lead to a loss of control over the New York Foot. Where was Karai first changed to be Shredder's daughter in some capacity? Was it the 2k3 cartoon? Edited October 30, 2020 by Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maunakeaka Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Hi everyone! Total cgc newb with a few turtle specific questions I couldn't find an answer for when I searched... I'm hoping to get some of the Last Ronin graded for xmas gifts to give some old friends but I can't figure out if they'll be considered comics or magazines. Any guesses? I noticed I couldn't find this series in the drop down when attempting to submit either. Also, I have one of the ashcans- it's got a couple micro creases. Being so small (pages) would it be ok to have it pressed? I see a lot of conflicting info on how to handle low page count books and don't want to mess it up. Any advice you guys would have would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I see. There's a manual entry field, I believe. I've submitted many first-on-the-census books and I think I had to write in the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan. Posted October 30, 2020 Share Posted October 30, 2020 Based on how "tall" GA books are treated I would guess magazine size. Icculus308win and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In 2012 cartoon Karai (Hamato Miwa, or Miwa) is actually Splinter (Hamato Yoshi’s) daughter.

In 2012 cartoon Karai (Hamato Miwa, or Miwa) is actually Splinter (Hamato Yoshi’s) daughter. It has been a while since I've seen the 2k3 show, so forgive me if I fudge some details. But the Shredder in that show is an utrom, so definitely notbiologically related to Karai. I'm guessing it's an adoptive scenario. You've got it right for the 2k12 show. In that one, Karai is biologically Splinter's daughter but was raised by Shredder. I was surprised I enjoyed 2k12 as much as I did. It had some good stuff in it...and it may be my favorite interpretation of the Splinter character. Edited October 31, 2020 by Turtle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
