IDW: Year Two speculation
 

So with #12 out the first full year of IDW's universe has wrapped ending the current main story arc.

While we already know from previews the next arc is going to involve Casey's father, Splinter/Raph bonding and the Fugitoid, (as well as an old mutant enemy returning), what else do you expect to happen?

I imagine we'll finally see the full story about Krang and the Neutrinos unfold, I hope they work the Triceratons into it somehow especially since Fugitoid is involved. Seeing the Rock Warriors battle the Triceratons for the Fugitoid with the Neutrinos caught in the middle will be cool.

I imagine the Foot and Turtles will become full fledged enemies where the Foot will try to hunt the Turtles down. I can see more mutants being introduced, both good and bad. Old Hob might become more of a real threat. I think we'll see home human enemies too, possibly Hun or more new characters.

What do you expect or want to happen in year two?

I expect we will see Bebop and Rocksteady mutated, Baxter either become a cyborg or fly, Krang and Shredder go to war.

i'm betting Muckman & Joe Eyeball.

Eh, is there really much more "full story" to unfold there? He stopped by their world and pretty much wiped them out. End of story.

I don't think we even know why they're at war, unless I'm forgetting something.

I am pretty certain this will lead the IDW Turtles to their first outer space adventure like in Mirage, and hopefully they work the Triceratons in somehow to connect to Fugitoid.

Um... he did? News to me, amigo. We still have some cool stuff to unfold.

I imagine the purple dragons won't be allies for long.

Oh. It's possible I might have been projecting my hopes that what we've seen so far of the Neutrinos (dead bodies, a decimated city) would be about the extent of their involvement in the series.

That would be interesting,but there are a few more characters I would like to see first! However,if you have influence feel free to add the two characters in.


One thing that I am concerned about is #15's synopsis makes it seem the turtles become willing to kill. That is perhaps the one thing I cannot get behind. Reincarnation is one thing but not killing. Some may perfer it the other way but its just not who they are to ME.


I would guess #15's synopsis is referring to Leatherhead? I have a feeling he is going to appear soon.

That is what I am pinning for. I hope its not just a fanboy dream and we see it really soon. All of what you said.

Casey's dad assassinated, Slash, hopefully more Krang, and hopefully Splinter finally kills Shredder.

I'd also appreciate such a take on it.

That was one of my problems with the Mirage comics. I like having Shredder around for every few stories. Its not nearly as awesome without the coolest villain out of the picture! Though having it thought to be dead time and time again works just fine.

I don't think the antique shop will be around much longer.

I can see the Turtles having their first outer space adventure soon. Most likely they'll go to Krang's island, escape with Fugitoid and wind up teleported to the Neutrino Planet.

I don't see it being exactly like Mirage's "Turtles in Space" arc, but I do imagine we'll be seeing the Triceratons as well.

I've got catching up to do

A misadventure with Don's personality modifying ray, Capt. Phineas Filch and Professor Lloyd Cycloid, a teamup with Bugman and Gadgetman and Shredder using a machine to telekineticaly draw mens underwear towards him.

Splinter deserves his revenge though.

I think its about high time he and Dr. Polidorious teamed up and brought an attack against all the land lubbers to prove that Sea Dwellers are the dominant species. Plus it reintroduces Mona Lisa and I can't wait to see what happens when Raphael Meets His Match Again ("Sorry Casey I can't patrol with you I have plans.")


On a more serious note. I am really looking forward to the whole ethics of killing thing. I understand where Splinter is coming from when he says he doesn't want to waste the gift of their second life by ending others, but it is so odd to me that they have been trained to kill but won't ever do it. I'm not saying it needs to be over the top violence, but there's being heroic and there's letting the Joker continually escape and kill millions of people.

I definitely want to see Bebop and Rocksteady.

I very much hope so.
