TMNT Creator Shares Secret To Making Comics Your Life

Recently in San Diego for Comic-Con 2017, Kevin Eastman, the co-creator of one of the most creative comic franchises, stopped by the CBS News 8 studio to inspire comic lovers to turn their passion into a career!


Kevin Eastman and his collaborator Peter Laird were thinking one day: “What ironic animal would we make Bruce Lee into if he were a comic character?” Naturally, considering Lee’s mega strength and lightning-like agility, a turtle was the perfect match. Next thing they knew, Eastman had a sketch of a turtle in fighting stance brandishing nunchucks Michelangelo was born!

Eastman and Laird self published a little more than 3,000 copies of the 40-page Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in May of 1984. By September, 1985, it received 3 additional printings.

The first TMNT animated came in 1987 and ran for 10 years, the gang’s first action figures rolled out in 1988, and the franchise’s first live-action movie came in 1990, which to this day, is the second highest grossing independent film of all time. 30 years later, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is still going strong, with a animated series on Nickelodeon, and a second one set to debut on the network in 2018.

With all that said, you trust a guy like Eastman when he gives advice on how to make a living in the comic book industry.

One piece of advice from the sensei: don’t be afraid to be different. Eastman said that the idea of TMNT was so different that it helped draw comic readers’ attention. He shared some more tips with the News 8 Morning Extra crew.

Five Things You Probably Didn’t Know About JoJo Siwa

Joelle Joanie Siwa, known professionally as JoJo Siwa, was born in Nebraska on May 19, 2003. She is a young American dancer, singer, actress, and YouTuber. She shot to fame when she appeared on Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition with her mother, Jessalyn Siwa. JoJo was the youngest contestant in season 2 and she was eliminated in week 9. In 2014, she auditioned for the Abby Lee Miller’s ALDC, a dance competition team. JoJo was selected to become a member of the team in 2015. During the same year, she began appearing on Dance Moms, a reality television series aired on Lifetime that follows the ALDC team. Here are five more things you probably didn’t know about JoJo Siwa!:


1. She is Already an Award-Winning Star

Despite her age, JoJo Siwa is already an award-winning star. She was nominated for the Dancers Choice Awards Favorite Dancer 17 & Under at the Industry Dance Awards. Unfortunately, she didn’t win on this occasion but moved on to bigger and better things. In 2016, Dance Moms won the Reality Television Award for the Most Heartfelt Moment. This was followed by JoJo winning a personal award in 2017 for Favorite Viral Music Artist at Nickelodeon's 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards.

2. She Has Several TV Guest Appearances Under Her Belt

Although she is best-known for her dancing talents, JoJo is establishing a fledgling career in acting and already has several guest appearances under her belt. She appeared as a guest on Make It Pop and The Thundermans, and played the part of a ghost in Nickelodeon’s Ultimate Halloween Costume Party, and in 2017, she acted in skits on Nickelodeon's Not So Valentine's Special, Nickelodeon's Sizzling Summer Camp Special, and is about to star in her very own Nickelodeon special, JoJo Siwa: My World, premiering Saturday 12th August 2017 at 8:00pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon USA and Friday 18th August 2017 at 5:00pm on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland!

3. JoJo Hates Junk Food

While most teens can’t wait to cram as much unhealthy foods into their mouths as possible, this is not the case with JoJo. She simply is not a fan of junk food. She confessed to fans in one of her YouTube videos that she hates most American junk foods, such as hamburgers and hot dogs. She much prefers eating salmon, salad, and noodles. The one junk food that she does enjoy is pizza.

4. She Has Around 800 Bows

JoJo is well-known for her personal style and her huge bows are a key feature of this. She has confessed to having around 800 bows in her home. Her bows have become more than just a personal fashion statement for this young star as they have led to her launching her own accessories range, including her signature bows, that is sold in stores of the accessories retailer, Claire’s. The popularity of her accessories has even spread across the globe, including in the UK and Australia.

5. Hip Hop is her Favorite Dance Style

Dance is an important part of JoJo’s life and something that she is passionate about. JoJo began dance classes when she was just five years old. She loves nearly all styles of dance but her favorite to perform is hip hop. The only style she doesn't enjoy is ballet.

Power Rangers Trade In Zords For Cars In Slick New "Cosmic Drift" Teaser

If you've ever wanted to see the Power Rangers trade in their Zords for souped-up cars, then you've come to the right place!


The talented team at Baller Status created a new short film for Formula Drift called "Cosmic Drift", and the first teaser for it looks pretty amazing. The Power Rangers find themselves in decked out rides with Ranger-appropriate paint jobs as they drift through the streets.

Just seeing those cars race around the track wouldn't be enough though, so the team went a step further and pitted the Rangers against two monster creations that look straight out of Finster's playbook, with the Ranger vehicles having to dodge incoming fire as they race to save the captured civilians. Even Zordon makes an appearance, utilizing footage from his Mighty Morphin days.



The full film debuted at the Formula Drift event at Evergreen Speedway on Saturday 5th August 2017 in Monroe, Washington, and check out the full teaser above!

Bandai Announces New Mighty Morphin Power Rangers And Power Rangers Zeo Toy Lines

Bandai America Inc. is set to launch an entirely new toy line of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Legacy Zords!


Officially announced at San Diego Comic-Con 2017, the new toy line will consist of newly scaled Zords that match the size of Saban’s Power Rangers movie Zord toys released in late 2016.

Each Legacy Zord will also include a miniature figure to pose alongside its prehistoric Dinozord.

Bandai will release only two Zords to kick off the line: the Red Ranger’s Tyrannosaurus Rex Zord, and the Yellow Ranger’s Sabertooth Tiger Zord.

The new Legacy Zords are currently slated for release in Spring 2018.

The news was confirmed by Saban Brands and Bandai at the Power Rangers Toys & Collectibles Power Hour panel at SDCC 2017.

In additional Power Rangers merchandise news, Bandai is moving their popular Legacy line into the Power Rangers Zeo era, and now fans can get their first look at the new figures.


The toy company released press photos of their new line of figures, which will include highly articulated Legacy versions of the Red, Green, Yellow, Blue, Pink, and Gold Rangers. There's also a new up-close look at the Zeo Megazord.

As you can see in Power Rangers NOW's photo gallery, all of these are looking quite good in the paint application department, though you won't be able to get the whole set all at once. Wave 4 of the Legacy Line will ship out in the Fall of this year and will include the Green, Yellow, and Gold Rangers. It will also include the Red and Blue Dino Thunder figures.

The next wave will hit in late fall of this year, and that will include the Zeo Red, Blue, and Pink Rangers, along with the Dino Thunder Yellow and Black Rangers.

Each figure will retail for $19.99, and you can view the new additions in the gallery.

Power Rangers Zeo ran for 50 episodes and starred Jason David Frank (Tommy Oliver/Red), Nakia Burrise (Tanya Sloan/Yellow), Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam Park/Green), Catherine Sutherland (Katherine 'Kat' Hillard/Pink), Steve Cardenas (Rocky DeSantos/Blue), Austin St. John (Jason Scott/Gold), David Yost (Billy Cranston), Robert L. Manahan (Zordon), Danny Wayne (Rito Revolto), Kerrigan Mahan (Goldar), and David Stenstrom (King Mondo).

Power Rangers Zeo Legacy Figures were first announced at Power Morphicon 2016. Power Rangers Dino Thunder Legacy Figures were first announced in December 2016.

Nickelodeon To Premiere "Bruno & Boots: The Wizzle War" In Germany, Switzerland And Austria On Sunday 3rd September 2017

Nickelodeon Northern Europe has announced the exciting news that Nickelodeon Germany (Deutschland), Nickelodeon Austria (Österreich) and Nickelodeon Switzerland (Schweiz) will premiere the brand-new Bruno and Boots movie Bruno & Boots: The Wizzle War on Sunday 3rd September 2017 at 14:45 Uhr on Nickelodeon Österreich and Nickelodeon Schweiz and at 15:50 Uhr on Nickelodeon Deutschland!


In the all-new Bruno and Boots film The Wizzle War (1 x 90'), Macdonald Hall is under attack! Where tradition and freedom of speech once ruled the campus, now there is Mr. Wizzle!

Hired by the Board of Directors, Walter C. Wizzle has joined the faculty as Assistant Headmaster to modernize Macdonald Hall.

When the Board of Directors launch an experimental educational program to modernize Macdonald Hall, introducing authoritarian Assistant Headmaster Walter C. Wizzle to the boys of Macdonald Hall and the miserable Assistant Headmistress Ms. Peabody to whip the girls of the Scrimmage Academy into shape.

With a new dress code, demerit points system, surprise inspections in the dormitory, psychological testing, and early-morning wake-up calls with track laps as punishment, he even manages to get under the skin of Headmaster William “The Fish” Sturgeon. No wonder Bruno, Boots and their Macdonald Hall friends are up in arms!

The boys and girls decide Wizzle and Peabody have to go. But how? As they pull out all the stops, they ultimately turn to the theory that “love conquers all” to oust the pair once and for all!



Based on the much-loved Macdonald Hall book series by Gordon Korman (Swindle), the Bruno and Boots movies follow the adventures of Bruno Walton and Melvin "Boots" O'Neal, the most infamous troublemakers at Macdonald Hall, a supposedly prestigious school for boys, and, within their time at the school, Bruno has managed to convince Boots to tag along during countless prank operations.

Featuring an eclectic mix of supporting characters ranging from an an eccentric school genius to a hypochondriac snob, Bruno and Boots' epic pranks and frequent unintended consequences keep the stories continuously thrilling.

Bruno & Boots: The Wizzle War stars the original cast from Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool! and Bruno & Boots: This Can’t be Happening at Macdonald Hall: Jonny Gray (Max & Shred, Ride - Mit Herz und Huf) as Bruno, Callan Potter (The Other Kingdom (Das Königreich der Anderen)) as Boots, Peter Keleghan (18 To Life, Murdoch Mysteries) as Headmaster William "The Fish" Sturgeon and Caroline Rhea (Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Phineas and Ferb) as Headmistress Eugenia Scrimmage.

Joining the cast for the first time in Bruno & Boots: The Wizzle War are Kathleen Phillips (Mr. D, Sunnyside) as Ms. Peabody and Matt Baram (Make It Pop, Seed) as Mr. Wizzle.

More information about the Bruno & Boots film series can be found on brunoandboots.com. Fans can also follow Bruno and Boots online on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.

Nickelodeon acquired the international broadcast rights to Bruno And Boots in October 2016 for Nickelodeon channels in Australia & New Zealand, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand, Benelux, Scandinavia, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, and Poland.

Korman began his writing career at the age of 12, when he signed his first contract with book publisher Scholastic Canada for This Can’t Be Happening at Macdonald Hall. That book became the first in a seven-book series which also includes Go Jump in the Pool! Now, he is a full-time writer and speaker, with more than 28 million copies of his novels in print. His books have been translated into 30 different languages. Bruno & Boots: Go Jump in the Pool! is the third TV project based on a book by Korman. Swindle, based on the book of the same name premiered on Nickelodeon in 2013 and the Disney Channel TV series The Jersey was based on Korman’s The Monday Night Football Club. He is the author of more than 80 books for kids and young adults.

The Bruno and Boots series is produced by Aircraft Pictures and distributed by Breakthrough Entertainment.

The series came to life once again in the original TV movie, A Fairly Odd Christmas in 2012 and A Fairly OddSummer in 2014. Hartman is also the creator of Nickelodeon's animated series Danny Phantom and T.U.F.F. Puppy.


'Bunsen is a Beast!'

In addition to his work with Nickelodeon, Hartman has also created the Noog Network, a mobile app that features interactive games, cartoons and live shows. “I kind of never stop. I never sleep. I just like to draw and put ideas down. And every idea that Nickelodeon doesn’t buy I put on the Noog Network,” explains Hartman. He notes that Noog is a good place to try out new ideas and see how they go over in a short amount of time.

JoJo Siwa Catches Fans Up on Pretty Much ~Everything~ She's Been Doing Since "Dance Moms"

JoJo Siwa is certainly on a roll, and she's not slowing down any time soon. At only 14 years old, the Dance Moms alumna has already had successful careers as a mega dancer, a television star, and even a business woman with her line of JoJo Bows. JoJo and her mother were permanent members on Abby Lee Miller's all-star dance team until the second half of the sixth season of the series. The pair departed from the show in 2016, after JoJo signed with Nickelodeon.


While JoJo and J-14 caught up at the Sugar Factory in New York City, the starlet clued fans in to all that she's been up to since leaving Dance Moms. Trust me, she's been up to A LOT! JoJo is ready to keep on climbing with a new music video, a Nickelodeon special, and a feature length film.

JoJo is releasing new music, and just dropped the music video for "Hold the Drama."

JoJo just premiered the music video for her hit song "Hold The Drama" on Friday. The final product is everything fans could ever want from the spunky star: Bright colors, sparkly pants, and of course — the bows! Check out the video below!:



You've probably also heard her infectious tracks like "Boomerang" and "Kid in a Candy Story."

She has her own upcoming Nickelodeon special, JoJo Siwa: My World.

Nickelodeon will also showcase a special about the multi-talented teen later this month, called JoJo Siwa: My World. The show takes fans behind the scenes and into the depths of JoJo's life, all leading up to her huge performance at the Mall of America. The special will premiere on Saturday 12th August 2017 at 8:00pm ET/PT on Nickelodeon USA and Friday 18th August 2017 at 5:00pm on Nickelodeon UK & Ireland.

"It's all leading up to my performance at Mall of America. So my performance at Mall of America is basically what it’s around, so that’s at the end of it. Then it’s really just my story: my life and how I got here, and the rehearsals for Mall of America and what it really took, and my life at home. It was really fun!" she told us.

JoJo will be hosting Nickelodeon's Lip Sync Battle Shorties alongside Nick Cannon.

It was recently announced that the YouTuber would be joining Nick Cannon as the host of Lip Sync Battle Shorties. Since she's literallly so good at musical.ly (just ask her millions of followers), she'll be such a great judge.

JoJo is starring in a full-length movie with Jace Norman, Inside Voice.

Most recently, JoJo has been working on a feature length film called Inside Voice. She will be starring as "Victoria" in the upcoming TV-Movie on Nickelodeon. Though she has acted before on television, the role is actually JoJo's first part in a movie. The YouTuber revealed, "It’s actually a lot different than I would have thought it was! Because I’ve done acting on TV shows, but never in a movie. This is my first movie ever. And everyone said that I did really good!"

Through the filming process, the starlet got the chance to work with Henry Danger lead Jace Norman. The two stars quickly became close friends. "He's honestly one of those people on set who’s just fun to work with," JoJo told J-14. "He’s kind of like the older brother type." Um, awww!

And in case you were wondering, no, JoJo will not be sporting one of her signature bows on the big screen. I know, NickALive!'s shook too! I'm already struggling to imagine what she'll look like without her signature 'do. "It'll be a change," JoJo explains. "You'll see! I’m playing a character, so I’m not supposed to be JoJo. I got to wear bows! But not JoJo bows."

She is still wearing her signature JoJo Bows and selling them at stores like Justice and Claire's.

JoJo loves it when fans come up to her sporting her bows. She told J-14, ​"You know, I just always wear bows. I always love bows and it’s always been my thing. And then it just kind of evolved, and now it’s here...It just like evolved and slowly and slowly got better and bigger and amazing-er. [Fans come up to me with their bows] all the time! It’s so cool. I’ll be on the street and they’ll be like, they’ll just come up and I’m like 'You have a JoJo bow on!' And they’re like, 'Yeah!' And I’m like, 'Cool!' It’s crazy."

But JoJo hasn't forgotten about her Dance Moms roots.

My girl💙💗

A post shared by JoJo Siwa (@itsjojosiwa) on


"Dance Moms was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in my life!" JoJo told J-14. "Literally, Dance Moms was so amazing and I have the world to thank for that. They were so awesome — the set, the cast, the crew — it was amazing. It’s my platform, it’s how I’m here now. And so for me, moving on from that was really, really hard. But now it’s so cool! I signed with Nickelodeon, like that’s unbelievable!" What a career you've had, JoJo!
