Bring on Tristan Jones as lead writer for TMNT!!!

[Venom]

I'm pasting what I wrote over on the IDW Forums since not everyone here will register over there. I'll also link to this poll for support in the other topic. Ready? Here goes:

Tristan has proven himself, on multiple occasions, to have a firm grasp of what makes the Turtles kick ass in comics!

His issues of "Tales of the TMNT" were always best-sellers and two years since his last "Tales" story, we fans are still chomping at the bit wanting to see Tristan's "Gang War" story-arc finished.

Not only that, he is one of the few writers I know (outside of Mirage) who have a good handle on each Turtle's personality. His blend of great comedic timing and heart-pounding action bring forth such suspense and excitement that readers are nervously anticipating turning the page to see what happens next.

Tristan evokes an atmosphere in his Turtle stories that hasn't been captured since the mid-eighties when Kevin and Peter collaborated on the original issues. The guy knows how to seamlessly blend the styles of two polar opposite men and roll them into a ball of total awesomeness - one that mixes just the right amount of dark, gritty, intense action with a nice helping of great characterization and good humor. Very, very few know how to write good humor, especially so with the Turtles, but Tristan manages to do so and also capture the essence of Mirage at its greatest heights.

IDW, you want to do us fans right and create a damned fine comic iteration of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, one that we and many others in the comics community want to see and read, and will attract others to pick up the book? Then bring on Tristan Jones as the main writer of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series.

We know him and his work. We know his love of the Turtles and trust him to handle them with care. We WANT to read his stories.
