If you read this site, chances are you’re familiar with Alex Deligiannis. He is a super talented artist and a friend of the site (he designed our Sasquatch!) and we’ve had him on Bubble Pipe Theater as well as featured some of his awesome geek art.

Well, he’s been busy drawing these awesome Mars Attacks! sketch cards for IDW Limited’s upcoming book. If you’re lucky enough to snag the Red Label edition you’ll get 40 sketch cards by Alex. From the official press release:

I was in middle school during the golden age of Cartoon Network, when you could tune in for shows like Johnny Bravo, The Powerpuff Girls, Dexter’s Lab, and Samurai Jack in the evening and then pretend to go to sleep but really stay up so you could watch Space Ghost Coast to Coast. The awesome thing about most of those shows is how well they hold up. I can still watch them today and enjoy them just as much (if not more) than I did over a decade ago.

So that makes the announcement from IDW Publishing pretty exciting for geeks my age. This year they’re going to start publishing comics based on classic Cartoon Network shows. With the Adventure Time and Muppet comics, I’ve realized that cartoon-based comics can actually be a lot of fun and not feel as pretentious or faux-artsy as a lot of more adult comics these days, and these 90s Cartoon Network shows would make great little comics.

IDW’s already killing it with their TMNT comics, and if their most recent micro-series wasn’t enough they’re launching one all about the villains in April. I think the villains have been super interesting and well done in IDW’s TMNT series, and I can’t wait to read more about them.

I’ve really enjoyed their re-imagining of Krang and Dimension X and I’m really looking forward to the Krang issue of this micro-series. I don’t know how excited I’ll be about issues dedicated to the new villains Old Hob and Alopex, but I’ll keep an open mind.

If you read my Post-Christmas update, you know I’ve recently been plowing through IDW’s new TMNT comic book series, and I’m getting pretty into it. I’m not a huge comics fan in general, but I’m digging how IDW is mixing old-school Mirage and Fred Wolf era Turtles into one comic. There are a couple changes to the backstory that seem odd, but I don’t think we even know the whole story yet.

Anyway, if you’ve been reading along too, you may be interested to know that a mini-series called Secret History of the Foot Clan just started, and it looks awesome. The first issue is out now with art by Mateus Santolouco, who has a very cool style. He posted some art on his DeviantArt page, and I love his version of the Turtles. It seems like IDW + the Nickelodeon Turtles combined.

This issue promises to tell the backstory of Shredder, and I can’t wait to read it. Are any of you guys following the IDW TMNT comics?

Update: I read the issue last night, and it was pretty awesome. The last panel perfectly encapsulates why I love this series. Let’s not spoil anything, but if you read it, what did you think?
