Understandable.
But that's how I understood it with the past many threads concerning "PUBLISH IT, LAIRD".. So, yea...

I think that's an excuse to hide behind. They're ignorant to it and I doubt they researched the entire TMNT history. Even if they did it's not an issue for them to raise a stink about anyways. Mirage owns all those characters, well owned, all they had to do was publish the story as a Mirage story and Viacom wouldn't know the better. They could call it something totally unrelated if they wanted.

Ahh, I'm willing to give them a bit more credit. I know plenty of people who know about the other lines such at TNM, image comics, ova, archie series, etc and aren't hardcore fans like a lot of people here. or even partially so.
Either way, it's a tricksy thing to deal with. I'll be glad to see the issue Tristan's working on and some closure to the image series. I was just starting to get into it when it got canceled. Drr.
