I like how everyone pretty much misses the point that the book sucks, and rather than fix it IDW would rather let the book get cancelled if it comes to it.
Sophie didn't create the TMNT, it's technically not HER story. Fans have a right to complain, and ignoring them and continuing to do what you're doing when you know it's not working is just stupid. It's like the Simpsons, just on-going despite nobody liking it anymore, except unlike with them, IDW and and will pull the plug on TMNT and end the series. I have no sympathy for these people. They started off great, but now they're ruining the series, and you think purposely dragging it out to piss off the fans that are already pissed is good thing, get the hell out of here. You clearly don't give two ***** about the Turtles and don't belong here. If you want the fans to stop complaining, make good stories. Like NOW.

Four more after #119, so up to #123 as has previously been stated.

I guess we can get into the debate as to whether IDW is willing to let the book tank. I'm questioning the rationale here as of late though. It's like people think IDW is above chasing dollars. I keep hearing that they are going to let this book die as the sales dwindle and that there won't be The Last Ronin spin-offs, both of which sound crazy to me. There is no agenda for IDW that is going to be more enticing than the almighty dollar. I'm guessing that Sophie is cheaper than the combination of Tom and Kevin were by the end of their contract. I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case. So maybe they are willing to let sales dip a tad on this book, seeing as it is cheaper to produce, and they are also busy funding The Last Ronin and raking in sales over there. I doubt they'd let it die though, it's one of their top-selling books. But I guess it's good that we can all disagree. Keeps things interesting. |

Sophie Campbell: The foreseeable future. I won’t be drawing as much because I have to, like, you know, I like I have to go off and have to finish my shadow eyes book. And I have some other stuff I have to do, that I can’t talk about, but, you know, I’ll still be writing it. I’m still going to draw #123 even though it’s not a final issue anymore. Um, so yeah, that’s gonna be good. I’m excited about it." A partial transcript of the podcast can be found at https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR...EegQIAhAF&ep=6 This was as of June 22nd but could have changed since then. The idea was for #123 to be her final issue (which she would also draw) before Tom Waltz returned. But Waltz is now focused on Last Ronin and the interview seems to imply potential plans after Last Ronin that Waltz will be involved with (be they TMNT or otherwise). It's also left unclear how the Armageddon Game is going to function as an ongoing event - something like Universe? or interwoven with the main series? - Campbell discusses potential collaboration with Waltz. |

Yeah issue 123 isn't her last issue anymore, so I would assume between issues 130-140 might be it unless she really does go up to issue 150.

Literally the post right above Cubed's has a quote about it.

No that just states she's going to be less involved after #123, it doesn't outright state she's staying on as the main writer.

It says she'll be drawing it less but still writing it. I don't see how anyone could misinterpret that.

I mean, she blatantly says her run is going beyond issue 123 and she's still writing it. So I don't know see how that reads otherwise. And since she also said, "the foreseeable future" it doesn't just sound like a few issues more either, so I assume she's going at least to issue 130+ and beyond.

The comparison was more to point out how one breaks off into multiple storylines that come together at the end (Waltz's style) and the other just sticks to one character's perspective (Campbell's style). |

Guys, I get that we are all sick of it and the way it's being done, but TMNT has ALWAYS had its everyone sit around and have a family meeting moments. Tom Waltz wrote a lot of them too. And remember City at War... the Mirage one? TMNT has always been a bit emo.

Family meeting moments aren't the problem. I love those. This mash-up of Sesame Street and Seinfeld that Campbell has turned TMNT into is the problem.

Mona stuck in a limo with a bunch of sullen-looking Mutanimals: "War, what is it good for?"
