Ask a Question: IDW's TMNT Editor Thread

[neatoman]

So after reading through the Destroy Everthing trade, I noticed that Bebop's hair/beard was always purple no matter what timeline he was in or how long he was there, does that mean his hair just grows purple after the mutation? It seems like it would be a pain in the ass to keep long dreads dyed purple 65 million years before the invention of hair dye.

A more serious question, how does the copyright work? Does Viacom or IDW own the rights to the original characters, can Viacom adapt the stories to other forms if they want, could another publisher reprint the comics if the license goes to another publisher or does IDW have a say in that, etc.
