Were there ever a series set in the future of TMNT...

This question came up during some discussion over possible new iterations of TMNT if a new series or Comic book came along;

Lets say that there is an iteration which is set say 5-10 years after the IDW run or Nick closes (to take those as examples);

With the turtles now in early-mid twenties, how would you - as a viewer/reader - feel about the idea that one or more of the turtles has a long term relationship, potentially have been married, or even had started a family?

Obviously with the family point, its less a question of 'could they' (genetics aside, there are methods like adoption or the chosen partner having pre existing children). Its more a question of how would you feel as a viewer?

Would the idea of older Turtles, with some of them being in relationships or starting families, make you feel uncomfortable to the point you wouldnt want to watch/read?
Would you be ambivalent so long as it was well written or justified?
Would it be fine, its just very different to what your used to?
Or would such a different perspective be very interesting to you?

Would that new set of responsibilities and risks for the turtles to consider be something you would become invested in or something that would have you running for the hills screaming blue murder at the creators for daring to change the preordained setting?

Obviously characters do get old (death notwithstanding) and realistically, characters would have to face this question at some point.

I ask out of honest curiousity

And put this question to the members of the Drome. What do you think?
