Sorry I can't be more helpful!

It's all good. I did some digging and it looks like there should be a Ghostbusters annual early next year, then a new ongoing or mini after that.

Getting back to Turtles, the Enter The Dragon poster in Mikey's mancave was cool, but I was wondering exactly where that skateboarding poster came from. Is it a particular skater/brand, or just a random picture?

Nope. And I wouldn't say he's a nerd, just a guy who realizes the importance of a good nerd!

This is in #62? I don't have the issue in front of me, but you'd have to ask Dave. That wasn't in the script.

I could be wrong, but the way it seemed to me was that it was just a manner of his abilities and passions not lining up. He was good at athletics, but enjoyed academics; however he wasn't as proficient at those as he was at physical activities.

Not sure if this counts as a spoiler question or not, but was the young science nerd in Dun's teenage flashback supposed to be Harold?

That's a fair assessment!

No, just some nameless classmate. Not intended to be Harold.

Was the redesign of Krang's exo-suit inspired by the Utrominator from the Smash-Up game and/or Same as it Never Was? I realise this question is probably more suited for Dan Duncan, if he's not the one who redesigned Krang please correct me, I just noticed several similarities once I saw a picture of the Utrominator again.

The more mechanical look, the darker colors, red eyes, robotic mouth piece, only pale color being the head, the arms that transform into guns, the chest placed cockpit, the... Collar?

[Bobby Curnow]

I don't think so, no. Interesting, though!

How did the greedy cruel future relative by marriage, Darius Dunn find his way into contemporary time IDW TMNT? I am curious to your angle with him going forward,but its always cool to see how the behind the scenes work with plots and characters.

[turtlefanforever]

Not sure if this has been touched up on yet but,

Any truth to the rumors of a TMNT/The Golden Girls crossover?

Darius and the Street Phantoms were totally Tom's inclusion, so it's a better question for him!

Dude, seriously... Bobby is nice enough to dedicate a portion of his free time to converse with us, and you're gonna troll the thread he uses to do so?

I know you're disenchanted with TMNT or whatever, but don't ruin this for the rest of us. Super low blow.

Hahaha, what??? That's crazy, no. But here's the even crazier thing. I'm actually a pretty big Golden Girls fan, believe it or not, and for years i've wanted to figure out how to do a Golden Girls/Murder She Wrote crossover! I've got the whole thing outlined and everything.

I would love to see Splinter and Sophia interact though... now you've got me thinking!

Thanks for being a sport, Bobby

That is a pretty lolworthy scenario.

Sophia: Holy smokes, I haven't seen a rat your size my daughter shmuck of an ex, Stan!

Splinter: I assure you, Mrs. Petrillo, I wasn't always this way...(recounts whichever origin fits the story)

Sophia: Oh yeah? Well picture this, Brooklyn, 1928, I had just returned from visiting Sicily...

Thank you for the quick response.

Tom, are you around these days? If not this can only add fuel to a letter for the letters page.

Anyone more artistic than I am, able to do create a logo for Bobby and his thread? In the late 70s to mid 80s DC had a column each month by Bob Rozakis, 'The Answer Man'. This thread feels like a modern version of it.

What DID happen to Dr. Mid-nite's pet owl Hooty?

[John Pannozzi]

Any chance you could try to talk Justin Eisinger into posting on these boards? He's the guy in charge of IDW's collected editions, and there are a bunch of questions we'd all like to ask him.
