Bobby, not really a question but I just want to thank you and everyone else at IDW who was involved in the making of the new Bebop & Rocksteady mini. I was stoked to see Wingnut and Screwloose again, and not only did you guys not disappoint, you exceeded my wildest expectations. The nostalgia levels were through the roof reading this issue! Great job, everyone!
Well, alright, maybe I'll ask a quick question... Is there a chance we'll ever see those two again? |

So Bobby... now that Issue #25 has been released, what are your thoughts on TMNT Universe as a whole?
What lessons do you think IDW learned in making this new series, what do you think the series did well, and what do you think it could have done better with? If you could do it again, what would be done differently?

At the end of #84 of the main series the Turtles bring the orphans to Splinter. Are we to believe the Foot will take the two dozen youths into its ranks and watch over them as a family of sorts or will Jenika bring them back to the orphanage?

So are Wingnut and Screwloose mutants who are a little off-kilter and think they're aliens, or are they actually aliens?

Who named Bebop and Rocksteady "Genealdo and Maxence"?

The joke is their real names are dumber than their mutant names.

I know that's the joke, I'm wondering whose idea it was.

I think Universe had some great stories in it, that rivaled our other mini-series that came before it. But I also think we also had some sub-par issues. There have been times, especially when we're also doing concurrent 5 week events or other extra books where I was stretched too thin and I didn't do the best job possible as an editor. (with respect to the creators, I'm not going to get into which issues I thought were better than average or sub par. I absolutely believe all creators put their best foot forward). Overall it's a series that i'm proud of, though it does have some blemishes. Many thanks to everyone who supported the series! |

Of course, that's an 'off the book' personal read of the situation. Always good to leave some ambiguity for the sake of a future story. |

In any case, I really wish I was part of IDW's legal/reprint department. Any idea how I could do such a thing, Bobby? I'd be thrilled even if I got such a position at some other studio/distributor/etc. instead of IDW.

Just have to look out for job openings in the reprint department, I suppose! For what it's worth that department's staff hasn't changes in the 8+ years i've been here, so probably not much in the way of openings.

1. Was Alopex being drawn more cuddly after reforming a conscious descision?
2. Any chance of the Mirage Universe Sourcebook finally being released? Go Green Machine? 3. Do you have the rights to use characters from unreleased projects? 4. Is it possible that a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles RPG game could be made? Or reprints of the old ones? 5. Do you have any plans to use characters from things like the Welsh Magazine comic, the newspaper comic strip, the 2007 toyline, etc? Last edited by miru; 08-12-2018 at 09:21 PM. |

2. No plans in the works, no. 3. I would assume not. 4. Possibly! Not my department. 5. None that come to mind, no. |

That question about the 2007 toyline does remind me of something. I know you're barred from using characters from the 90's movies, but what about the 2007 movie? Or what about the last two movies from Platinum Dunes, are you allowed to pull characters from those?

The only characters I'm sure they're allowed to use from the older movies are Rahzar/Tokka of course, as they've already returned in the cartoons and stuff. I do hope we see them in IDW someday.
