How about that Usagi story? Where does it take place?

Bobby Curnow · 07-26-2017, 03:34 PM

I'd put Usagi/TMNT in-between #72 and #73.

Man, somebody better be sure those poor boys are getting some good naps between all this stuff

. They're busy!

Yeah, now I'm imagining that they pop out of existance right in front of Baxter and the gang.

Baxter: Oh crap! Did I just lean back on a button?

What's the general "power levels" of the Pantheon? Is there one character, like Gothano for example, who is stronger than the rest? Or is it Aka since she seems the oldest and most wise? Since they're all immortal God like creatures I wonder how strong they're intended to be.

Is Jagwar any stronger than a regular mutant? I'm kinda curious how strong these characters are intended to be compared to mortals.

*neatoman* · 07-27-2017, 03:09 PM

I noticed that Manmoth covers his trunk up with cloth, Elephant Man reference?

Can't really get into any of this as finding out will be part of the fun of future appearances.

You'd have to ask Dave Wacther, that's nothing we noted in the script.

Not TMNT-related, but maybe you have an answer or can venture a guess. Do you have any idea why IDW's "Highlander: The American Dream" hasn't been appearing on the charts since #1? These ones, of course: http://www.comichron.com/monthlycomicssales.html

The series is already wrapped with #5, but it's strangely absent from the charts since #1 back in February, I think.

*Utrommaniac* · 07-29-2017, 11:02 PM

So, I noticed that Shawn Lee changed the font used for Hakk-R's speech changed.

Is there any particular reason for that? My guess is that the newer version is just easier to read, from my perspective as a graphic design student. It even looks to be the same that's used for Fugitod's speech.

I'm also enjoying the completely different characterization from Hakk-R than I thought it have, just from looking at the interior of its ship. With books everywhere and its tea (how does it even drink it? It's got metal where its mouth should be) and its musical commentary with just a little bit of a sadistic edge. Reading with its legs crossed. I wasn't expecting that, but I love it

. Here I thought it would be broody and skulking around, especially after its appearance in the FCBD issue. I'm actually relieved it didn't end up that way?

Didn't chart high enough? No clue.

Yeah, Shawn just ended up liking the new font more.

Bobby, have you guys ever considered using Kevin's art for the ongoing interiors? You do a great job of incorporating his work on the covers, annuals, etc. but I'm curious as to whether this ever came up as a possibility.

Also, are you hoping to see more Eastman interiors in a future annual?

Bobby Curnow · 08-01-2017, 03:25 AM

Kevin did an issue a few years back-- #21 I think? Right before City Fall.

Kevin's got a lot of other responsibilities, and he's always hit his deadlines for me, but sometimes it's been preeettty close. Would need a good deal of lead time, and that's not something we've had for a while. So, no plans at the moment, but hopefully one day again!

TMNTChris1980 · 08-01-2017, 10:00 PM

Hi Bobby,

I've seen Eric Talbot talk about wanting to do some IDW stuff. Any plans for having him do an issue or 2. I personally would love to see it, but he also has a huge fan following.

No plans at this time.

Will Stockman, Tragg and Granitor appear or at the very least be mentioned in Trial of Krang? It would make sense for the prosecution to retrieve them as witnesses, seeing as how they were Krang's accomplices in not only building the Technodrome but also various atrocities in Dimension X itself.

*Utrommaniac* · 08-02-2017, 08:39 AM

I didn't really think of that, myself.

Now, Ma'riell joining the prosecution feels like it's going to create some major shakeups with the Utroms, especially those who were in the military. "Well, I know my brother is going to be p*ssed as all getout when he finds out Krang is in prison...guess I have to aggravate him more by making sure Krang stays there."

Something's going rotten in the state of Burnow Island.

*CyberCubed* · 08-02-2017, 12:33 PM

Regarding Leatherhead and the Neutrinos coming to pick him up on Earth, was there a potential Universe issue about that planned before the start of the current arc that was scraped or considered? The flashback of Leatherhead attacking the Neutrinos made me think of some Universe issue we never saw.

I have to say that would have made a good single issue of Universe to see how it played out.

martinitolove · 08-02-2017, 02:44 PM

The IDW Turtleverse have took influences from every incarnation of TMNT (Mirage, Archie, Fred Wolf, the movies, Next Mutation, 4kids including Fast Forward). But none from the current Nick show. Why/

Is it because the show is still running? Or because IDW does the show's comic? So in a few months those characters will be free to use?

Hope one day to see:

Choate (or TyrannoShredder) from Mirage - make him the king of the Triceratons

Ancient One and the Ninja Tribunal, Battle Nexus tournament, Touch & Go and that season 7 concept of Ch'rell Shredder Triceraton from 4kids.

Shinigami, Rahzar, kunoichi April, noir feel of the current season from Nick.

Enjoying every moment of IDW. Thank you, team!
