How do you think it would end? Or does that tread too far into spoiler territory (whether for Odyssey or a future Volume 4 conclusion)?

Same for this, any insight? Would love to hear about 'em.

Considering how much he has done for TMNT, and everything he's given us fans, Mr. Laird has earned his rest. With the awesomeness of IDW (my favvorite version of TMNT of all time) and the Nick series going strong, the turtles are in good hands for the moment. He owes us nothing, and Peter can relax and stay far away from TMNT for as long as he chooses to do so.

If he's doesn't ever want to come back, that's his business. He and Eastman gave us turtles, and that's good enough for me!

small world! i really wish Peter the Best in his retirement. i'm sure all of the hustling and bustling he's done keeping the franchise going before he sold it has severly burned him out!! but it would be awesome if one day he felt a surge of inspiration to just crank out just a few more issues to quickly wrap it up the way that volume 2 quickly came to a conclusion. or gave the blessing to Jim Lawson to tie up the loose ends?

I think something like this would be what Peter would arrive at, just based on his long term setups and the way he generally ends things. But I have no idea.

Man, that sounds cool as hell. Very plausible. The way you've connected Battle Nexus Splinter with Vol. 2, it makes perfect sense, you blew my mind, yo.

I honestly doubted Pete or anyone would ever follow up on Donnie's Vol 2 vision... that would be awesome, though.

Why not? He's the one that wrote it. And the other ones came true.

Well, yes and no. But mostly no. Peter would write up what is happening on every page, like a play-by-play detailed synopsis, and Jim would take that and do the dialogue and captions (which is a very strange way to write, but that seemed to work for them).

That doesn't seem so unusual. I see lots of comics that have separate credits for, like, "Plotted By" and "Scripted By" and I always figured that in at least some cases it works sort of like that. Like one person would give the basic play-by-play and the other one would work the details.

Maybe it's the creative control freak in me as a writer, and I've read a lot of comic book scripts (there is actually no one "template" for comic book scripts... it's all over the map, but it's generally not this... I mean, compare a Grant Morrison script to like a Geoff Johns script or something, or even old timers like John Byrne or so... there's form differences, but it's all there, the specific dialogue, stage direction, etc.). I pretty much want to dictate every word and every nuance, beyond things like design and artistic liberty, and it seems weird to me that writers wouldn't want that. Though I believe when Jim would write up his "rough draft" of a given issue's blurbs and all that from Laird's synopsis, Laird would come back with notes and changes and such before he'd officially sign off on it.
Though it's great that Laird had that much creative trust in Lawson to allow him the leeway he did. I don't think he'd trust anyone else with that. Not Berger or any of those cats beyond maybe Eastman himself.
