Cowabunga Corner

Since October 2009, when the news was released that Viacom bought the Turtles.  Fans have been watching more and more of the stuff we know of Mirage disappear.  With the official Turtle website now down for maintenance, the Mirage comics closing down, the few workers still with Mirage only being there a few days a week to handle the orders that come in for their back stock, and now a good bye on their Facebook page.

It’s not often I go to concerts, but when I do go, I prefer to go to concerts that I thought I would never have gotten a chance to ever see. There are not a lot of concerts in the area I live that just draw me in to spend $50 or more per ticket. 

There's nothing I love more than a good scary movie, with genuine scares rather than "jump scares." That type of movie seems to be a rare find these days, which is why I prefer the classics like The Exorcist, Rosemary’s Baby and other films of that era. Movies in this day and time would rather have you jumping out of your seats at that very moment than be truly scared and bring home the terrified feeling.

In this episode I tell how I got on the set of "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation" back in 1997! For anyone who wants to see video footage from that visit please check out Cowabunga Corner #15 from Season 1.

The first Thursday of every month a people gather at the Main Arts Theater in Royal Oak, Michigan for an event that gets everyone to howl.  This event is called “The Killer B's” where Wolfman Mac from Chiller Drive-In and his crew host a really bad movie and get to mingle with the fans who show up.  Every time I’m in town for this event, I make sure to attend, for the laughter, the boos, and hitting a beach ball around.

In the last week Turtle fans have been hit with a lot of news a select group of fans was chosen to go to Nickelodeon to have a sneak peek at the Mutation in Progress itself.  They were treated with hotel, food and even gifts from Nickelodeon.  These lucky people got to share their feedback on what they thought of the things that were shown to them.  Now, some of them are sharing their stories with the rest of the fans.

In this episode I talk about the first issue of the TMNT Magazine. Going over the stories in the magazines. I've always liked the Magazines, so through Cowabunga Corner I hope to be able to go over each issues to share with everyone.

Source Code is a story about a solider who wakes up in another man’s body with a mission to find a bomb and bomber on a train before it explodes and leads to another explosion in Chicago. Captain Colter Stevens has only 8 minutes to locate the bomb before his mind is sent back into his body, and to repeat those 8 minutes until his mission is complete. Through the use of quantum mechanics, the government has made this mind and time jump possible and has employed Captain Stevens as a counter terrorism agent.

On April 1st, IDW Publishing announced that they have received the rights to publish new Ninja Turtle comics!  The curious thing I find about this is that they’re doing comics based on the ‘original’ Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, as they keep bringing up Eastman and Laird in the press release.  So are their comics going to be based on the original Mirage story line or the original cartoon story line?
