Do we really need any stuff rehashed? Even with the new twists did we really need an origin or setting up the basics of Mousers and Foot ninja if we're essentialy leading to the same status quo that we've seen throughout every version.

I'd say the vast majority of people who would be inclined to pick up a TMNT book from IDW would have experienced these stories before in one form or another so you could argue we're the only audience that doesn't need it.

I do expect some reused storylines. If Baxter didn't have any Mousers I'd raise an eyebrow. If Rat King and Leatherhead never show up I'll be shocked.

If Shredder doesn't come back from being defeated or the dead at least once I'll be surprised. If the Turtles don't lose a huge battle to the Foot I would wonder why not.

Some old stories are expected, yes. But the 4kids series brought plenty of new ideas to the table while adapting Mirage material. Hun, Bishop, Ch'rell, Battle Nexus, the Triceratons invading Earth, etc.

I expect IDW to do new things as we've seen with Old Hob and the reincarnation angle.
