Spillover of Nick cartoon stuff into IDW comic?

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.

I think I agree with all of this sentiment.

I still kind of finding myself standing back with arms crossed, waiting to see what the eventual status quo will be, and what that will resemble. Or maybe this is in vain and the status quo will prove to be the lack of a status quo... a constant sense of a rug being pulled out from under the Turtles and onto the next thing. I guess that'd be a valid approach, though it might suggest a certain lack of confidence in the Turtles "working"... kind of -- but not quite -- in the same sense that, you know, the comics out there today that seem to rely on either constant, back-to-back "Big Events" or guest spots or crossovers by bigger, more established characters. When the characters are never allowed to sit back and breathe for a time, find their place in things, that to me suggests a certain wariness by TPTB that: "Uh oh... this book might not do so good if we do that." This sense of... keep the ball moving real fast so no one ever really has a chance to sit back and notice the cracks in it all (cracks that are either real or only imagined/feared by TPTB).

Not saying that's what's going on or even what I think is going on, just laying out my thoughts at the moment.
