Thank you for your time,

Not really. Opening up that sort of door can be tricky, as we get too many submissions to be able to properly respond to.

Thank you for your reply. I understand. I'm wondering, is there any chance you would consider holding a cover contest with a limited time frame for submissions? Or perhaps, just a Drome-exclusive contest? Just throwing ideas around. I know artists here would jump at the chance to draw today's official comic TMNT!

So, Chris Johnson's Ace Duck, how does he look? I know we can see Nick Pitarra's Ace on the cover but that's not necessarily what Johnson draws him like. Does his design come closer to Lawson's, the toy or Nickelodeon's?

Spoiler:

You'll have to wait and see!

Have you heard about the new TMNT Animated series starting in 2018?
Could we expect to see comics related to this new series?

Yes, we got a cool advance look at how it's progressing. Seems very cool, doubt I can say any more than that. I don't know what sort of arrangement we'll come to regarding comics for it. Hopefully!

Alright, a good word about it, that might calm some people down. There were some people worried about what little info we got about it.

I saw, too -- and I can safely echo that it's gonna be some really fun stuff! I really dug what they showed me.

No, no time for that i'm afraid. And to be honest i've got a long list of covers in inventory, so it's not something i'm in need of.
