Yes, Universe #25 will focus on Leo!

Wonderful, are we going to finally find out why he looks like the lovechild of Andy Dick and Matt Stone?

Bobby Curnow · 03-23-2018, 12:46 PM

Haha, Woody Dirkins was created in honor of our former head of marketing, Dirk Wood. You can google pictures of him to see the resemblance.

Huh, Woody does pretty much look like a younger version of Dirk. I assume he's flattered?

Bobby Curnow · 03-23-2018, 02:23 PM

Yes, I think so.

DevilSpooky · 03-23-2018, 05:30 PM

Hey Bobby, this has nothing to do with the TMNT and I know you really had nothing to do with the HC collections but I'm getting desperate here...

What happened with the Ghostbusters Mass Hysteria HC? I can't find it anywhere and yet I have no trouble finding the Total Containment one that came out long before it (places like Amazon are even getting hold of more stock for it).

I'm getting paroanoid and don't wanna miss it, but I really don't want to pay scalper prices for it, I mean, up to 200$ for a used copy is just bonkers...

Sweetness!! Thank you

*ProphetofGanja* · 03-24-2018, 12:43 PM

Hey Bobby, very excited to hear that Woody and Leo will be getting some limelight in TMNTU soon.

Also, really freaking excited to hear about the new Bebop and Rocksteady miniseries coming this August! Is there anything else you're allowed to say this far out? I'm guessing it's still in the early stages, scripting and page layouts and all that? I'm really curious what the article means by their powers acting up but I know plot details like that are best left to see when the story comes out.

I do have one question I hope you'll be able to answer now though: is Anchovy still with them??

~~ChosenOne~~ · 03-24-2018, 04:13 PM

Bobby, I know that you can't go into any detail on this, nor am I asking you to, but is there an end in sight for the Null storyline? Have you guys worked out where it's going? And might we some day see her in the main ongoing?

I can't say much other than Ben and Dustin are currently set to do all of the art themselves, which is a real treat I wasn't expecting.

And yes, Anchovy is with them!

I wouldn't say we know the "end" of her storyline but we know what her role will be in the overall story leading up to #100. I think it's very likely we'll see her in the ongoing eventually.

This is slightly unrelated, but just saw IDW is ending their Transformers run this year:

Quote:

The comic will start with an issue #0 on Free Comic Book Day (May 5), and then begin proper in July, shipping twice monthly. The series will be “the epic conclusion to the current Transformers comic book universe” that IDW and Simon Furman began back in 2005: at the panel, Barber candidly spoke about he and the other creative teams on the Transformers/Hasbro books – including “Lost Light” writer James Roberts – decided to pull the trigger on the universe, giving it a finale that readers could not experience somewhere like Marvel Comics.

Is IDW losing the license to Transformers after this year? Last year in 2017 IDW posted a 91% loss in net income:

Should we be worried about the future of TMNT? Or is Nick still content with sales? I hope IDW TMNT has a lengthy future ahead of it still post-issue 100.

Thanks for that!

Especially in the wake of the new B&R mini being announced, every time I ask myself if this comic can get any better, the answer is always "Yes!" and the fact that you guys keep outdoing yourselves month after month, year after year, is nothing short of incredible. Keep up the amazing work!

I read somewhere that the head of IDW did something that really ticked Hasbro off, I can't remember what it was though or even where I read it. If this sounds familiar, just point out what it was.

We're not losing the TF license as far as I know, no one has said anything to me about it. And that 91% drop of net income is because we sold two TV shows the year prior (which was the result of years of work), and sold no TV shows in 2017, resulting in what looks like a major drop. Yes, comic sales were down too, but in line with the industry average. Keen eyed observers will note that we have kept our market share and #4 publisher spot.

As far as I know Nickelodeon is very happy in all respects.

I realize that as an employee of the company it is expected that I defend the company in some respect, but these are the things I know. I have an active dislike for the business side of things, so try and avoid getting too involved in it. As such, I may be mistaken in some way.

I can absolutely confirm that's not the case.

phillytmnt · 03-28-2018, 03:50 PM

Hey Bobby,

When can we expect to hear some news about Mateus Santolouco's TMNT mini- series that got approved by Nick? Also, will we be seeing more of Kitsune and what she is plotting sometime soon?

Thanks!

Bobby Curnow · 03-28-2018, 04:21 PM

Can't say anything about any rumored Mateus project yet!

We'll touch in with Kitsune before the end of the year.
