I am not saying anyone has to agree with him, but complaining about the fact he answered the question a fan asked him in the "Ask Peter Laird" thread on his blog, is kind of nonsensical.
As for selling the franchise. Maybe we will never allow you to retire and we can see how you feel about that  He was doing what he thought was best for the franchise as a whole. Seeing so far the new comics, the new show, the new movie and the vastly larger amount of merchandise I see out now even before "Turtle-mania" really hits again and I really get why Pete did what he did. |
Exactly.
Plus -- do we really want more comics from the guy
who's tired of doing them?
This isn't a "Laird Vs IDW" thing. I guess I don't see what the big deal is -- or what the big mystery is. Let him move on with his life. As FL said above, it'd be silly of us not to expect him to weigh in when his opinion is asked on his blog (he's going to be asked Turtle questions for the rest of his days even if he never participates in another Turtle comic, after all), but it's not unreasonable of him to want to concentrate his focus somewhere else after living with the TMNT 24/7 for nearly 30 years.
We're
all weighing in on what we like and don't like about the new artwork that we've seen so far. Once the new series starts, we're going to discuss and argue its merits and faults to death. How is
one of the creators of the TMNT
not qualified to have an opinion simply because they're not his life's focus anymore?
