It's just that I noticed certain parallels like the chess playing father and the son tricking him out of his company using the skills he taught him.

Spoiler:

Total coincidence!

I like chess -- but don't have the patience for it. I retained just enough knowledge to have Bobby tell me just how mixed up I was once or twice. (;

I should note that once or twice is also the average amount of times Bobby tells me I'm mixed up on any given project, so I'm glad to stay at par.

How much would it cost to get the #8 color classic license with Cerberus? Just wondered

Need color classic fugitoid

I don't remember Bebop and Rocksteady being cloned. When was this?

*Xav* · 04-28-2016, 11:41 PM

Like he said Turtles in Time #4.

I missed the "in the same issue part"

I don't remember this happening at all though.

When Shredder shows up to attack, he has a posse of Bebop and Rocksteady clones with him. They are right here:

I wouldn't know offhand.

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 04-30-2016, 10:55 PM

Not a question about what's going to directly in the book, but about TMNT in general; In any TMNT continuity, do you believe the mantle of the shredder should be something that passes from person to person, or should belong to Oroku Saki exclusively?

Bobby Curnow · 04-30-2016, 11:30 PM

I think either way could work, depending on the circumstances.

Hurm. I don't remember that in the slightest. Thanks.

When and how did the decision come for Ch'rell to have a sister? Will it ever be specified which one of them is the elder sibling?

Bobby Curnow · 05-05-2016, 05:46 PM

I think Tom just wanted to name a character after a big fan of the book who works at IDW, Mariel Romero. And with a tweak it made sense to connect her to Ch'rell.

We haven't talked about who is older.

*Utrommaniac* · 05-05-2016, 06:40 PM

Aww! That's really sweet of him.

Bobby Curnow · 05-05-2016, 07:30 PM

Leeshawn is Shawn Lee, our longtime letterer on the book. The other new Utroms I believe are also variations of names of friends of Tom, I believe, though I'm not familiar with them.

*Utrommaniac* · 05-05-2016, 07:32 PM

Ah, so that's why Tom's the name guy

. Still really awesome of him.

ctt4lfecw · 05-06-2016, 04:50 PM

I want to know what Leatherhead has against the Utroms. I mean they were in stasis the whole time he was wandering Burnow. Unless Krang experimented on him?

*neatoman* · 05-06-2016, 04:58 PM

Kitsune called Oroku Saki's sons "our sons", was that in a literal biological sense or did Saki have a human consort on the side? And if Kitsune is indeed their biological mother, is Karai part of that lineage?

I'll reserve any comment on this matter until next issue comes out!

Sounds literal to me, but I suppose it's open to interpretation. Hard to say about Karai. That's one of those areas that we purposefully leave vague-- gives us something to play with in the future if we want to. There's a lot of specifics we have planned out well ahead of time, but I'd say there's just us much we haven't formally decided on so that we can keep things flexible for the future, should we desire to revisit.
