I'd say every tmnt comic is pretty obscure. But that doesn't mean pulling from some type of source material isn't a great move.

It's not like the filmmakers or the audience have to follow the IDW series to appreciate a fresh take on the origin that works.

Well...yeah, I agree. The origin is essentially all you can take from IDW. Everything else is essentially a melting pot, but the origin is the one element that is truly unique.
