Anyway, my point was that there's definitely room in IDW TMNT for a spin on the original Tokka and Rahzar. I don't want to derail this thread any more than I have! |

Are there any plans for Wingnut/Screwloose or Scumbug to get a story? We only saw quick cameos of them in the Rocksteady/Bebop Destroy Everything Mini but nothing since.
Would be nice to get a Universe issue or two about them. |

Wingnut/Screwloose is definitely a mutant I want to see more of.

They were actually aliens in the Archie comics, and also part of the Mutanimals, but would love to see those two show up too.

Sophie, than you for your input! It's really interesting to know that one of the IDW creators doesn't like the current cartoon. For me it's exactly the opposite. I've grown up with Fred Wolf one and REALLY despise the original Mirage, FW, Archie and the movies. I think the ideas were great, but they needed the grown up execution. Therefor IDW IS PERFECT, as was 4Kids and Nick now (love both shows!!!). I understand that most ideas originated from the 80-ies and I am thank-/respectfull for them, but I see them mostly as a fantastic quarry. To stay by this metaphor Mirage/FW/Archie found a marmor quarry, but IDW/4Kids/Nick are the real Michelangelo!!! Long live Skeleto-Rahzar! And Sophie, THANK YOU for AMAZING "Karai's Path" right now! And for Pepperoni. And for Northampton. You are great and keep it up! |

Hey Bobby, I hope this question isn't too nosy, but is TMNT universe in any trouble right now sales-wise? I really hope this series will be able to continue!

You guys are spazzing over nothing. Universe is still a top 5 IDW book. In July it was only beaten by MLP, a new #1 (Diablo House), and 2 other TMNT comics.

For a second I read this as IDW Tokka as well, not Tokka in general, and thought that it was a subtle hint.

Generally 1000 but some places (Jetpack especially) have been able to get away with less. Rich Horn is probably best placed to answer that here

1200 for new art, 1000 for art that already exists. At least that what it was when we ran these things individually as editors... we have someone in the company that handles these orders now, so my info might be out of date.

Hey Bobby, re: Cryin' Houn-
He was an Elvis parody, obviously, but the issue was released on the 40th anniversary of Elvis' passing. Did you guys actually plan for that? 'Cause that'd be one hell of a coincidence, if not.

Why are you publishing Robotanimals? Is there a contractual obligation to release a certain number of Nick themed issues? Did you decide the Nick Turtles were worth one more series after the Batman crossover sold so well? Did you simply have a few completed issues that were postponed due to the crossover? Did you simply feel like it?
It just seems a little strange to me that you would publish a comic tie-in to show that's basically over when the last issue hits, especially when the previous tie-ins ended up getting outright cancelled. Don't mean to be rude, just a little confused |

Bobby,
Obviously in regards to Cryin' Hound, you got a lot going on with Houndamania being a play on Hulkamania, and the whole Elvis/Honkey Tonk Man gimmick, but it would totally make my day if when Cryin Hound is picking out his partner that part of his dialogue is in homage to Ric Flair's iconic promo from Royal Rumble 1992 after he wins the title..."a tear in my eye". Am I reading too much into that? |
