What writer would you like to see on TMNT comics?

jerome · 08-11-2007, 04:41 PM

so if you had the chance to have any writer in the world of comics or otherwise take on a tmnt continuing monthly book who would it be?

I'd really love to see Chuck Dixon take a shot at the tmnt. His 100 plus issue run on Robin is probably my favorite comics of all time. With robin he did a good job of capturing the teen angst and family issues teenagers go through. I think that his approach would be cool in the tmnt.

Also I think Brian K. Vaugn's run on RunAways showed he could really take the tmnt into a very profitable and interesting "teen" market.

And obviously i'd love to see Frank Miller take the turtles and really darken them up and give the turtles the Batman: year one and Dark Knight Returns treatment.

what do you guys think?

Would be interesting to see Chris Carter doing a TMNT/X Files-crossover if you ask me.

But I guess that would do better as a single story, not a running one..

Definantly Frank Miller. Not only doI like his work, but things would come full circle (TMNT was a parody of Daredevil, amongst other things).

I wouldn't mind seeing John Ostrander write an issue. I like his older stuff and I'm sure he'd write Turtles just as good as he did while working on GrimJack in the '80s.

At first i was like "i don't think i've ever heard of this guy but then i remembered he did quite a bit of writing on the Star Wars: Republic series. I enjoyed that quite a bit. If he could do turtles like he did star wars that would be cool

Damn it! You got to him before I did!

Translation: I agree wholeheartedly.

I wish that book was still around.

I need to get those 4 issues (i wish there were more) out and read them again.

*gobo* · 08-12-2007, 01:06 AM

Well, he's not quite in the world of comics, but... gobo.

*discordiatookie* · 08-12-2007, 08:04 AM

Frank Miller would be too amazing!!!! It would have to be from scratch though, Frank Miller's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, without any outside influence, and have him drawing it too....

I would love to see Robert Kirkman (Invincible, Walking Dead) knock out an issue or two of Tales, and have them Mikey based...

*Scandia* · 08-12-2007, 09:23 AM

I wonder if Marc Handler could write as kickarse a comic book as he does with TV episodes.

Leonardo Leads · 08-12-2007, 04:04 PM

Grant Morrison and Geoff Johns

CJStyles · 08-12-2007, 04:09 PM

Frank Miller would be kick ass for a TMNT

*Andrew NDB* · 08-12-2007, 06:17 PM

Miller, well, of course. But that's kind of like saying, "Steven Spielburgh for the next TMNT movie!" It's great if it happened, but it won't.

I like that idea! Which Turtle would get along with the most between Mulder and Scully?

Now there's a thought.

*VaughnMichael* · 08-12-2007, 07:27 PM

I'd like to see this guy I once knew about named Kevin Eastman work on the turtles yeah he'd be great!

I'm not sure...

I was more thinking something like Mulder and Scully searching for weird reptilian creatures (you know who

) that have been sighted in NYC. But that's as far as I've thought about the idea.

Mark Millar. Less Ultimates and more Marvel Knights Spider-Man. Bendis I'm not sure about. Maybe if he did somthing along the lines of Powers, somthing definatly street level detective. But then he'd probably take five issues to do it. I'll always love Peter David's run on Dreamwaves New Toon comic, so despite being last he goes to the top of the list. Second actually, because I agree with Purescent. This Eastman guys got moxie.
