But they never truly got around to it. They only created 2 new stories, both of which don't contradict anything from the 4kids show.

Dreamwave probably would have spun to its own continuity if it went on long enough, but since that didn't happen there's nothing much to say

Eh, I still think it's too early to tell. The series has been solid so far, but I feel like they still haven't really done something amazing yet.

I feel like they will really start building momentum once they get all the introductions out of the way.

In case anybody missed it, Peter Laird actually started up an "Ask Peter Laird V.7" because he was having trouble with posting comments on the previous entry:

Well, I posted my question and I hope it doesn't upset him (I tried to word it as politely as possible).

I'm just very curious to hear his side of the "mandatory retroactive work-for-hire contracts" fiasco, now that I've read Eastman's retrospective on the situation.

I believe you worded it quite well, and I'm curious to his answer, myself.

I'm grateful for his latest post, as he got to explain why we didn't see 2003 Baxter in "Forever." It's a pity, because Baxter's reaction to his 87 counterpart would have been incredibly amusing (and potentially politically incorrect).

Well, I got a polite "none of your business" from him, and that's fine. Eastman feels more open about discussing the situation than Laird does, which is certainly his call. It was nice of him to at least field the question with a polite reply.

I am glad you asked that question, Mark. The history of the Creator's Bill of Rights would make an interesting documentary topic.

Sadly, Peter had no interesting in seeing the scans I made of the TMNT 3 manga.
