The only story I read was "Sometimes They Come Back" but it contained one of my favorite bits:

HA! No, I wish. I only just started podcasting recently, and it's about video games

In my defense, that was BEFORE his production company signed on to produce the movie

Man I gotta ask them if they're sticking to continuity if they're really listening.

They're making a reboot, what's to be concerned about? Or are you referring to the collections?

*CyberCubed* · 04-04-2011, 09:38 PM

Who said they were going a reboot? Tristan can more or less do his Gang wars story over there if possible.

No need to be so surprised! I liked just about everything in Tales before, but your "Gang Wars" stuff really lit the series up and moved things forward!

The first series will debut August 2011 and will be a new beginning for the Turtles, as it all "Starts from scratch."

FearlessLeader · 04-04-2011, 09:43 PM

Turtles fandom we can all agree on pretty much nothing.... except the fact we all think Tristan is an awesome writer

Yet another paragraph says it's based on the Volume 1 comics.

What ISN'T? It's always turtles with bandanas and weapons. That makes every iteration based on Vol. 1, technically.

*CyberCubed* · 04-04-2011, 09:49 PM

But that may mean Shredder might already be dead when this series starts.

I don't think they're doing a full reboot.

What part of "START FROM SCRATCH!" don't you get?

Yeah, I already sent one to them, although I ain't heard back yet...

Hi there, fine folks at IDW!

A long time TMNT fan here, just wanted to drop by and say a big hello to the new people that be publishing the Ninja Turtles. I know its early doors, and I don't have a clue if you have a creative team in place for the boys in green, but I just wanted to put this out there. There's an Aussie fella named Tristan Huw Jones who was a HUGE fan favourite when he done some issues of Tales of the TMNT. I mean, each one he done was absolutely fantastic, and I know i'm not alone in saying such things. Some of his work was a wee bit 'mature', especially if you are going for a PG+ audience, but i'm sure he could tone it down a tad... Like I said, just putting it out there!

Anyway, other than that, I wanna wish you all, well great wishes and good luck with the TMNT comics, hope you do us all proud!

PS if you are needing a decent 'timeline' for TMNT comics, very well thought out and with a ton of fan (and official) input, i'd like to point you in the direction of

Thanks for listening! Er, I mean reading!

^At's fit I wrote!

Just out of curiosity Tristan, how do you think you would go about the new series, if it were handed to you? The thought must have crossed your mind

TristanHuwJones · 04-05-2011, 03:10 PM

It had, but a company like IDW doesn't just make an announcement like that without having something in place already. If it comes my way ever, I'd have to see where they're taking it, but I'd love to play with Hun again, maybe drag out some ideas I'd worked out back when there was the idea to do an "Ultimates" style book or some of the unpublished ideas that were signed off on for the Gang Wars story. But that's a big if. IDW have some pretty heavy hitters under their belt...

**Venom** · 04-05-2011, 03:39 PM

...and hopefully you'll be the next!

chad · 04-05-2011, 08:52 PM

I agree too that he should be the next writer but my fingers are crossed for now

*Revan* · 04-05-2011, 09:18 PM

Hell yes. Tristan rocks

I especially liked Tales #56
