I got a ticket to SpongeBob but just watched the 7 minute TMNT short film at the beginning, then left. It’s great! And it hilariously ends with one of the TMNT Christmas songs! 😆
Here’s my review of the OG TMNT Xmas Special!

To be clear, Gareb Shamus did not start Comic Con. He published Wizard and hyped speculation to benefit his sales. But that ain’t comic con.
BREAKING NEWS:
Gareb Shamus was on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Here he is on a speed date with Rachel Zoe, claiming he started Comic Con.

Wow, that does seem pretty egregious. Something like this is gonna get American comics publishers hitting videos that aren’t transformative with copyright strikes.
If you post a full video of every scanned page from an unreleased, clearly pirated comic and read every word balloon, you’re a grifter profiting off other people’s art. Period. 💎 🚫
