Believe it or not, news regarding the reboot of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just keeps coming.  Though the pizza-loving, totally tubular anthropomorphized haven't had a live-action adventure since 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, but they've been in cartoon series and an animated film.  Apparently, their return to live-action will be referred to by an altogether simpler title, as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has been abbreviated to Ninja Turtles.

Director Jonathan Liebesman is currently in the midst of the press tour for Wrath of the Titans.  It just happens to be during the same week that fans are in a mouth-foaming uproar over changes to the origin story of the titular quartet in his next project, the live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot.  He's doubtless had to answer many a question regarding whether or not the turtles will be extraterrestrials, and Liebesman has responded in a most political fashion.

Outrage is a funny thing.  For the last year, Syrian President Bashar al Assad has been killing his own people, but the world at large hasn't gotten stroppy enough to do too much about it.  Yet on over the weekend, producer Michael Bay revealed that the new live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would feature a rebooted origin story making the titular turtles into extraterrestrials, and the shit sort of hit the the fan.  With fans in an uproar, Bay has assured everyone that it's all going to be okay.

It's been almost twenty years since live-action shelled, anthropomorphized, martial arts-trained heroes graced cinema screens in 1993's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III, but as we learned last week, Paramount Pictures has set a December 25th, 2013 release date for a rebooted Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles feature.  The film, which will be accompanied by a CGI television series on Nickelodeon, is evidently going to be a major overhaul of the titular Turtles' origin story.

Paramount Pictures likes what they see in Last Man Standing, an upcoming graphic novel from Heavy Metal Publishing that was apparently a huge hit at Comic-Con. (Yes, they actually have comics at Comic-Con.) This is looking like the next big thing comic geeks will fall in love with, and soon the same might be said for fanboys of all stripes...
