From the always reliable Monster Brains (previously) comes the crossover you've all been waiting for: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Predator. But wait, there's more (Google translation): Evil Candy Plans, Forbidden Bat-Love, an awesome batmobile, and lots of plain old what the fuck.

And yet no mention that the Turtles were involve in -- forgive my use of understatement --
THE SINGLE GREATEST COMICS CROSSOVER OF ALL TIME?

Forbidden Bat-Love

That reminds me of the Batman: TAS episode that only exists in my head. A hypnotic pop singer that looks like the love-child of Madonna and David Bowie decides to date Bruce Wayne to control him and steal his money. The title? Bat Romance.

That explains everything..er... a lot this.

Ok, I have now seen a black dinosaur in a tutu performing circus tricks on top of a ball. If the Internet ceased to exist tomorrow, the world could still be proud.

These are absolutely amazing! It's like Ninja Turtles meet Space Ghost.

Some of these illustrations are almost worth making a poster.

I have it on fairly good authority that some have also been seeking the fabled Power Rangers-TMNT crossover.
Also Predators vs Power Rangers.

Batman Vs Predator and Aliens (live action [first saw this well back, but it was only half of it, never saw the whole thing... I do not know who made it.)

But the most ingenious/terrifying of all... Aliens Xenomorphs vs Power Rangers:

Acknowledging the comment, Weihan muttered a quick prayer and shot Andros between his eyes. The facehugger imploded, causing its acidic fluids to eat into the former Red Ranger. Behind him, he heard the stifled sob of Ashley and Karone. He shut off his blaster, then pulled out his Raptor Sabre. Muttering a quick prayer, he plunged the blade deep into the torso of Andros, trying to block out the shocked cries of everyone but his teammates. They knew he took his duty very seriously. They looked on at the supposed mutilation with empty eyes, but heavy hearts. They saw him pull out the blade – now coated thickly with Andros' blood – and drop it on the ground. He demorphed and swallowed hard, before facing the group.

And I guess there's other ones too... Those turtles/predator drawings are sweet.

Wow. It's like if Fletcher Hanks drew Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

And speaking of Predator, don't forget Tintin versus Predator.

Crap. Forgot to add the russian bit. Also, JHarris I have that comic. Flaming Carrot is still my favorite superhero.

Eastman and Laird must have been huge ALIEN fans because there are several nods to the xenomorphs in out of the way places. In the comic inside the TMNT role-playing game, one of the turtles dressed as a xenomorph, and in a poster I had (1990?) there was a pin-up of all of the turtles shooting at an out of frame monster, whose visible shadow had the trademark tongue.

"Internal mouthed tongue"
-with Xenomorphs it's just jaws all the way down...

I know T.Rex from Dinosaur Comics tends to be Politically Incorrect, but I never expected him to perform in blackface...

gamera: Bob Burden has attended the last two DragonCons in a row. His recent revival of the mighty Carrot seems to have sputtered out, but at least he's still kicking! The fact that it doesn't sell millions points, in my view, to a failure of the market.

At least Beanworld is back in print.

Cute how they're translated as "little turtles" (cherepashki).

TMNT vs. the Elders of Zion?

Wait, so in Russia comics were (are?) just a whole book of full page illustrations? What am I looking at here? It's awesome, whatever it is.

I have it on fairly good authority that some have also been seeking the fabled Power Rangers-TMNT crossover .

This is a world I am unprepared for. Female turtle with disturbing exposed turtle boobs?

Opps, aiii, sorry cmoj et al., forgot the NSFA (For Anyone) marker; also, is there a name for that?
When non-mammal anthropomorphized-mutated beings are given.. extra-phylo, extra-phenotypic wrong parts.

I just wish whoever invented the "female turtle sister" had read this answer bag ("do snapping turtles have mammary glands"), or this book-anything

As a reptile, snapping turtles have reptilian characteristics. These include having scales and being cold-blooded. Only mammals have mammary glands to provide milk to their young. Snapping turtles do not have mammary glands.

"In a 2007 interview director Kevin Munroe elaborated on the instructions Peter Laird gave to him for TMNT. Munroe admitted that among those rules was, "There’s absolutely no mention of Venus de Milo, the female Turtle. You can’t even joke about that with Peter. It’s just one of those things that he hates with a passion."[3][4]"

Breaking news (not the actual new prosthetic); Michael "Capable-Hands" Bay to direct a new Ninja Turtles movie. Buy stocks in pyrotechnics before you can't. Rumour has it that the basis will not be the original Eastman/Laird... but rather a little known Russian dada-ist interpretation of the TMNT...
