[GK Punk]

I have a question, does it have to be TMNT related or can it be about anything they've done?

[Karpo_007]

Does the series follow the cartoon's continuity, or establish it's own?

Will it have same kinds of limitations like the cartoon[I.E. All death has to happen off screen]

Can we expect a longer run, or just 5 issue miniseries?

[Vegita-San]

Yep, expanding it to all Dreamweave Productions, and not just limited to the new TMNT book..

[GK Punk]

Okay, my question is for Peter David, and is in 2 parts,

1: What was the reason DC decided to end your Supergirl comic?

2: What was your attraction to this TMNT project? Where you a fan before working on this series?

[Shellfox]

Ok can we expect to see any mutants, nonhumans and/or aliens other then the TMNT and Splinter in the comic or will the cast be primaraly made up of Humans?

[Aztec General]

What is the target audience for this comic? Are you aiming for an older "fanboy" crowd or a preteen crowd?

[Barkworm]

LeSean Thomas posted that there will be a cooperation with Mirage. What's Mirage's role in this?

[Machias Banshee]

HOw involved is Splinter going to be? Will he be more of a background char., or will he be kicking tail and taking names? (other than the boys during training sessions... :P )

[The Lone Turtle]

I got a question

Wil these new TMNT comics be available internationally? or will the only be available in the US like the Transformers ones?

[Azraelito]

Okay, my question is for Peter David, and is in 2 parts,

1: What was the reason DC decided to end your Supergirl comic?

2: What was your attraction to this TMNT project? Where you a fan before working on this series?

i remeber that peter david told in a wizard that one of his most valuable things was tmnt 1 of mirage.he told that he always wanted to write tmnt.I think now they gave him the opportunity and well he take it.

sorry if you dont understand me.my english isnt very good.
if you dont understand me i will try to write better.

[Vegita-San]

Keep those questions coming guys! We need at least 6 more questions, either for the Art Department, or those for General Dreamwave productions.

We've got more than enough for the Production and Writing Departments :).

[Barkworm]

Will the stories be more stand-alone-oriented or will there be bigger story-arcs?
Can we expect crossovers with other Dreamwave-books?

[PWDESAI]

Are you going to do the new tmnt like you did the transformers, with posters, shirts, and other misc stuff, and will you have 2 covers to every single issue?

And my biggest question, not tmnt related, WHY DID YOU KILL WHEELJACK? DO YOU HATE ME?

[Shellfox]

What are the odds of seeing a TMNT and Transformers (either G1 or Armada) cross over, or for that matter a TMNT cross over with any of the companys other books? Either in book form or posters?

[Azraelito]

i think the best ones were the ones that karpo put.

mmmmmmm i hate crossovers they dont have any sense.

tmnt and tf??? megatron and shredder uhhhhhh no thanks.

it would be cool to see a poster of all characters.

that of 2 covers mmmmm no thanks.

holofoil o promo would be cool.

what about the number 0?

[HorseTechie]

And my biggest question, not tmnt related, WHY DID YOU KILL WHEELJACK? DO YOU HATE ME?
You sure he's "dead"...? These guys do have such interesting resurrection abilities (the TF:TM aside)... the answer I bet will be found in the G2 series. Whenever that comes out. But if it makes ya feel better, WJ was alive n kicking in the War Within. :P

Questions....
~ Will this comic follow the same story line as the FoxBox comic series, or will it differ slightly... or drastically?

~ Has LeSean been a fan of the TMNT before being asked to work on this team? Or more specifically, how was he chosen to be the penciler.

[PWDESAI]

Holy crap, i better start buying that series, does he have any decent parts in it?

[Azraelito]

wheeljack?? dead???

mmmmmmm superion is dead but wheeljack nah i dont think so.

[HorseTechie]

Holy crap, i better start buying that series, does he have any decent parts in it?
*snort* Oh yeah! :D

[Vegita-San]

OK Folks, the interview is gong out TOMMOROW! We could still use a few more art questions, and general dreamwave questions, so send them in while you can!

[Shellfox]

You've doing comics for Transformers and TMNT, are their any 80's-early 90's properties that you would like to update/aquire the rights to?

[Shellfox]

So have we gotten an anserwe and I just missed it or what?

[Kid Icarus]

OK Folks, the interview is gong out TOMMOROW! We could still use a few more art questions, and general dreamwave questions, so send them in while you can!


I wish i would have seen this sooner. Anyone know what kind of tools their using for the cover art? Computers? Ink? Paint? Colored Pencil??

[HorseTechie]

From what I have seen so far, my guess is that they hand pencil and ink the pages, then add the colors with computer programs like Photoshop and Paint Shop Pro. After that, they add the caption balloons in Quark or something like that.
