Will Peter laird ever finish mirage tmnt?

Despite selling the franchise and making 18 issues per year if he wished Peter laird hasn't really tried to conclude mirage at this point I mean he suffered creator breakdowns in the past year since 1988 it was getting beyond his control and that he neglected his family. He has gotten better and later sold the franchise to Viacom/Nickelodeon and idw gained the license to make a new tmnt contitnuty that is still ongoing mirage studios became an in name only buisness and most of the employees moved on to other things leaving the future of mirage and their version of tmnt unknown if or when Peter laird decides to finish the mirage run. With Peter laird getting better and image volume 3 being revived to have a proper ending maybe this will encourage him to finally finish the mirage series with a proper ending. So what are your thoughts will be finish it or not?

As they say, don't get your hopes up.

i could have sworn it was either 4 8 or 12 issues, not 18 (been so long since i thought about this i have completely forgotten)

anyway, i think we still have a ways to go before we see laird take on a TMNT project again. he kept the license on life support for ages and got blown out due to his efforts, cant really blame him not wanting to think about it still and wouldnt hold it against him if he never decided to do so. (not to say I wouldn't be disappointed)

I don't think there's really much of a point in asking that question. We can speculate all we want but what it comes down to is whether Peter wants to (or can) do it. I doubt there's any way to answer this question except for "Maybe?" When it comes to things like this, I doubt there's any point in speculating. I suppose the best thing to do is put your expectations low and see what happens.

Give him until he's 75, then we can safely say he won't.

As much as I'd love for him to finish Volume 4, no, he won't.

He definitely won't.

But Andrew might find a way to get it done with his blessing. That's a far more likely bet.

That guy's a mover and a shaker, he gets things done. Laird's Vol. 4 conclusion will never happen, but Andrew's Vol. 4 conclusion given "official" approval actually seems within the realm of possibility, if he puts his energy in that direction one day.

You mean odessey and origin? How will that become official?

If only Kevin and Pete could reunite for one more story. It’d be extremely fascinating, even if a total failure of a story.

I think it could be great though.
