Now that the Turtles have cut ties with the Foot, and that Casey is running the Purple Dragons, where does he and his gang stand in regards to Splinter? Do the Dragons work for the Foot again like they did during and immediately after City Fall? Or was the assault on Dunn's HQ more of an alliance than a "calling the banners" (my status as a Game of Thrones fanboy is shining throug here) moment?
In other words, if push came to shove, would Casey and the Dragons side with the Turtles or Splinter and the Foot in any potential conflicts between the two groups? Or would Casey come to the Turtles' aid as his good ol' vigilante self, instead of his leader-of-violent-hoodlums self? What can we expect from him going forward? Did that talk with Splinter influence him that much? |

Ten years ago i'd say no, but they fit a similar 'comedic anti-hero' mold as Deadpool or Harley Quinn, so maybe? I personally think those characters are overplayed, but that doesn't seem to stop them! But i'd like to keep B & R for special occasions, so they don't wear out their welcome.

Is Dimension X a part of the main ongoing, or a mini in the same vein as Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything? I personally believe it's a mini but there seems to be some confusion regarding this point.
Also, in a universe where Universe (heh) never existed, would The War to Come have been told in the main ongoing, or would you have changed the Turtles' first clash with Bishop and the government to be Desperate Measures? How crucial was it to the future of the narrative? |

TMNT #73-75 will be a storyline called "Trail of Krang". #73 comes out in August. Also in August will be the "TMNT: Dimension X" 5-week event. So the ongoing will focus in on the trial itself, but the Dimension X event will let us be able to see more of, well, Dimension X! They'll be tied in to each other.
The first Universe story sort of acts as a prelude to Desperate Measures, but if it didn't exist I don't think it would affect the ongoing storyline too much. It's hard to say-- hard to rewind time and then imagine how things might have been! |

It must be a pretty big and eventful arc, if we're getting at least two perspectives of it. |

Where is the TMNT: Dimension mini and Trial of Krang questions coming from? I didn't think we had any information beyond February's #67 starting off Desperate Measures'. Good sleuthing!

That is accurate. Start saving now! (but seriously, much the same as with Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything, not necessary to read the Dimension X mini-series to enjoy the ongoing storyline. Just more to read if you want it)

How much time would have elapsed since Krang was captured in #44 and his trial in #73? Real time it is two and half years before his trial for war crimes started. How much time in IDW's timeline?

I purposefully try and keep the passage of time in the ongoing vague to keep things flexible, so this isn't a cannon answer, but let's say around 6-10 months.

Yes. As per my OCD account of the timeline, it's been 8 months. He was incarcerated shortly before April graduated (which would have been May), so approx 8 months to the current "now".

Anyway, he's imprisoned on Neutrino, so is he just on trial for his crimes against the Neutrinos or is this like an ICC trial for Dimension X? |

So, what I'm seeing is that May has the prequel to Krang's Trial.
Then August has a five-week event plus the first issue of Krang's trial, then following to October. I feel as though I should be prepared to drown in delight.

With the March solicitations having been released today, I have to ask:
Is IDW Bishop a hands-on fighter (he is depicted in one of the covers for #68 engaged in a brawl with Man Ray) or a "mere" overseer? Also, will there be an in-story reason why he targeted cohesive groups of mutants like the Mutanimals and the Turtles, instead of picking off outliers like Leatherhead, Alopex, Bebop & Rocksteady, or even trying to go after Splinter? Is Bishop even aware of their existence? |

So three questions regarding the latest issue of Universe (two of them in spoilers).
1. Was LH wearing some kind of sack or something? Didn't look like a piece of clothing with all the stiches. Spoiler:
