About the author

Erik Burnham is a Minnesotan writer and artist that first broke into comics with a series of humorous short stories in the Shooting Star Comics Anthology. These stories featured his original creation, Nick Landime, and culminated in a one-shot: Nick Landime vs. the World Crime League, published by Shooting Star in 2005.

Off and on, in this same time period, Erik also produced a short run of an online strip, The Down Side, until technical issues wore him down. He aims to return to the strip one day.

In 2007, Erik found produced work for two other anthologies – a short humor piece for History Graphics Press’ Civil War Adventures #1, and a horror story for Gene Simmons’ House of Horror #3, produced by IDW Publishing.

This lead to several other projects for IDW, up to and including his critically acclaimed run on the ongoing GHOSTBUSTERS comic book.

Erik has worked on other projects not related to comic books, and hopes one day to share those with the public at large. In the meantime, he still lives quietly in Minnesota; any rumors about this being because he’s completely afraid of the forty-nine other states (and Canada) remain unverified at this time.

Last issue of 4 of the two sequel stories of Raphael in Area 51 and Casey Jones in the Foot Clan. the stories bridge to TMNT vol.6 #1 and #5, so they are located somewhere between issue 100 of vol.5 and the armageddon game.
Nice series, two more issues on the way it seems.

I'm curious why this didn't start months before TMNT #1 started considering these events take place before issues 1 and 5.

Either way I enjoyed both of these stories. I'm happy to see Casey where he's at and I'm excited to see what Metalhead is gonna get into.
