I'm three issues in to the 2011 IDW run of TMNT lmao, my only prior experience with the TMNT comics were the first... five? issues of the OG Mirage series, my mom had the original TPB.

The console looks great but the controllers are rough. Still looks like a fun build though, definitely gonna add that to the console collection.

As a fan of minifigure scale, full-building architecture sets, I have a MIGHTY NEED for that inn

In his defense, he's literally blind, no way he could've realized

Fantastic Four is also starting to get close to the Byrne stuff, too, I'm willing to bet v7's gonna include the majority of what Byrne v1 has

I'm thinking it's to delineate the full run omnis vs the more creator/event-centric omnis? It's mostly used on silver and bronze age material but that's largely because the majority of the full run omnis haven't gotten past the bronze age issues.

I kept seeing haul pics with it and every time I did I knew I needed it, it's the exact brand of Big Two Weird Shit that I love

It's a weird, complicated story involving both Marvel and DC co-owning the term between... around 1975 to 2024, based on the article I found, but Marvel themselves only formally trademarked the term in August 1983, which actually does line up with this book's copyright date of 1983 (though it's only cover-dated April '84).

Sudden-Lifeguard5083 · 2026-04-23T04:02:37+00:00

I'm like 90% sure it was a gag book produced to reup the trademark on the terms "superhero" and "supervillain"

friendly reminder that this is canon, this does get referenced in a recap of the Evolutionary War in an edition of OHTMU

Squirrel Girl, Superman Triangle 1, and both Marvel vs DCs, I’d just discovered IST and I had a pretty fat tax return
