The Metalhead story in Universe was fantastic. I really wanted more! It could have easily been a bigger story arc. I'm so glad that there is the potential for more Metalhead in the future. I also thought it was interesting that you brought to light that Donnie may have some PTSD from his previous incident with B & R. I'm sure you're not going to get into all of that, but will we see that be a continuing factor in Donnie's character development?

I'm also curious if we're going to see any more Raph and Alopex. I know some people groan at having romance in TMNT, but I think it can add another different dimension to a character (mutant turtle or otherwise!), when done well, and seeing as it's already an existing factor, I would like to see Alopex fighting alongside the boys at some point. And I would really like to see the interaction between her and Raph.

#68 was a tease by the way. Good issue, but just moving the pieces in place. XD I can't wait to see what happens next. I love love love Bishop as a villain. And why is Leo floundering? Not only in this issue, but the Nick cartoon as well... it's interesting. I've always preferred him as the flawed leader, rather than a cocky arrogant one (though he has those moments too). Just curious what's going on.

It's definitely something for us to explore if there's a good time for it!

So due to previews and upcoming summaries it seems a ton of more Archie TMNT Adventures characters are being introduced. Jagwar and Dreadmon plus Mammoth, and we're in the midst of a Mutanimals story and Null had just recently appeared too.

Can we expect a lot of Archie comics/storylines being adapted to IDW continuity going forward now? I know a lot of people would still love to see Armaggon, but he might be hard to include with Bludgeon around unless you guys want two shark mutants around at the same time. Given Armaggon is a great white shark and not a hammerhead shark like Bludgeon, they'd still be distinct enough to have two mutants of the same animal species around.

Bobby Curnow · 03-22-2017, 01:25 PM

No plans for Armaggon. In terms of Adventures storylines being adapted... one Dimension X issue will have some Adventures influence, but that's about it. Our Dreadmon and Jagwar don't really have anything to with any Adventures storyline.

Let me guess, Dreadmon is a mutant Hyena(?) rather than a werewolf this time around? By the way, is he a hyena this time around? It's kind of hard for me to figure out.

I noticed there are some Deviations books coming out this year for other franchises. Are there any plans for even the possibility of more TMNT Deviations in the future? Say, 2018?

An interesting point to explore would be how the Turtles would move forward if Donnie has been killed off for real by Bebop & Rocksteady. We already saw one possible future where Donnie was the last man standing, how would his permanent absence change things?

Or, say, what would happen if Krang wasn't such a moron in #37 and actually joined efforts with Saki, how would the Turtles fight back then?

All kinds of possibilities, really!

*Utrommaniac* · 03-22-2017, 03:09 PM

Come on, now. Krang's been a moron in many more occasions than that, thought it was one of his dumber moves. And a pride-based one at that.

And Dreadmon is clearly a coyote.

You'll have to wait for the issue!

No plans for more TMNT Deviations, though it's possible one day.

I dunno, I would never give Shredder the time of day if he screwed me over like he did Krang in Secret History of the Foot Clan.

*Utrommaniac* · 03-22-2017, 03:52 PM

And there's still the factor of Shredder's descendant breaking through security on his island, stealing from him, and killing one of his people in the process.
Shredder's probably the bigger moron for even suggesting that they be allies after all that.

Ha ha nah I just need accurate information for the Wiki.

*Xav* · 03-26-2017, 12:12 PM

Will we every find out Bebop and Rocksteady's real name?

Also you said before that you don't think you could use Tatsu, however he was recently used in the Nick cartoon. So does that mean you could use him?

Tweedledum and Tweedledee.

But seriously, in the Nick Cartoon it's Anton Zeck and Ivan Steranko. In OotS it was Zeck and Owen "Steranko" Rocksteed. We might as well assume that's the case here.

Or maybe Björn and Benny, or Simon and Garfunkel given the music theme.

No plans on B & R's real names. No clue on Tatsu. He's not on the recommended character list, but that was from years ago. I have no particular urge to use him personally.

Recommended character list? Can you explain a little more about what that is, how extensive it is? (Selfishly I want to know if Groundchuck or Dirtbag are on that list, but I know you can't reveal that and every fan has their pet characters they hope to see.)

*ToTheNines* · 03-26-2017, 09:33 PM

Hey Bobby,

Just wondering if the A covers of Desperate Measures accurately reflect the location of the featured character? i.e. Slash's hideout is in Harlem, the EPF lab is in Hell's Kitchen, and so on.
