Peter Laird on IDW TMNT

Samhain, I think it's because for the last decade he's been the sole owner of the Turtles and everything went through him and he's just totally burnt out. He had to deal with the business end and, probably even more so, fans. Especially some of the ones of us who are never satisfied, and let him know... everywhere. Kevin, on the other hand, seems to get altogether nicer treatment. I can't remember anyone openly complaining on how he handles the Turtles, like many have when Peter was at the helm.

Not saying that their respective attitudes and personalities have nothing to do with it, but I'm sure the TMNT burn-out of being in control for the entire life of the franchise has a lot to do with it. Peter seems to take it all to heart, even if we didn't intend to be hurtful.
