Why no Northampton, Massachusetts farmhouse in the Fred Wolf series?

Well, assuming the general rule of "Comics only matter if there's a toy based on them", it would have to be if a toy based on an NH story character was made. This leaves us with Jhanna, Moriah and her monsters, Complete Carnage, Radical, CRAP, Fish People, The Justice Force and Doctor Dome.

The easiest ones to adapt are probably the Doctor Dome and Jhanna, because they're the closest ones to Fred Wolf nonsense, so let's combine them.

April thinks she has a scoop out in the middle of Northampton, because aliens have been seen nearby. She goes there, turns out Doctor Dome has been contacting aliens and he kidnaps her. His goal is no longer to avenge his baby mama but rather to contact aliens in hopes of conquering the world, because a villain has to be as shallow as possible and death can't be mentioned. He successfully contacts Moriah, the alien seen by the locals. Jhanna shows up when the Turtles try to rescue April, and Moriah tells Dome she'll help him conquer earth if he helps her defeat Jhanna. A battle with the alien monsters and Dome starts and is over fairly quickly. Jhanna becomes the ruler in Moriah's place. Both Moriah and Dome flee, vowing to return (which they never do).

That's about as Fred Wolfy I can make the Northampton arc seem. To be honest, your idea is more accurate to what the Fred Wolf cartoon was like, what I came up with probably took way too much from the original stories.
