Nick involvement with IDW

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-16-2012, 10:17 AM

I started thinking about this after a brief talk in another thread. Instead of derailing that thread I'd thought I'd make my own about the topic as to keep the conversation in one location. What I'd like to talk about is Nick's involvement with the IDW title. Tom and Bobby have both said they have to get things cleared by Nick first before they are allowed to do story arches and character changes.

Now this leads to the question of how much say Nick truly has in IDWs take on the TMNT. Nick is the owner of the property and are leasing the rights to IDW. Does this mean Nick can squish anything that they don't like? Can they force IDW to put certain things into stories because they want it there?

I'm honestly curious on what that relationship is like. I know there are some here who worry when the new cartoon hits that the IDW title will start to reflect it more and more. I'm curious if that is a just assumption. I mean to me it would have maken more sense if that was the plan along that they would have been working it in as the story progressed. From what we know it seems quite different then what IDW is doing.

What are your guys thoughts on it?
