Should Nick's TMNT series adapt Archie comics stories?

If memory serves the only time he shows her training under Splinter was in "Worlds Collide". She actually shows Casey up. After parts 2 and 3 she does not really show any skills or that she had trained under Splinter beyond that one storyarc. Archie did it well. She had the '87 cartoon template yet was not often captured and was a bit of a warrior in her own right under Splinter's guidance. The 2007 movie showed she could wield a sword.

These long trips away wouldn't have been bad if they had spent more time at home inbetween.

To be fair the Turtles were hardly ninja's in the Archie series either. The lack of Foot Soldiers probably didn't help.

It had nothing to do with them being ninjas or not, it was the fact that TMNT Adventures constantly had them globe or dimension/planet hopping. I like that stuff but they never stayed in one place long enough for trips away to seem special.

I would love to see Mondo Gecko and Candy Fine show up as classmates of April's. That'd be so cool!

Well, of course April would want to learn how to defend herself. But, she shouldn't become as skilled as the turtles, who have been training their whole lives.

Rather battle nexus than stump wrestling.

I honestly thought it was going to be based off of the new live action movie but since this is before the movie, can't say for sure if they would adapt from Archie comics but it would be interesting.

Actually, it'd be cool if they were to blend the two together.

Stump Wrestling in the new toon would be SICK!!

While I do want Nick to focus on brand new stories not adapting anything that's come before it, I would love to see characters and elements from Archie. Def want to see Armaggon, maybe Null, the Mutanimals, and Cudley.

Although, if they were to adapt issues of Archie's TMNT Adventures, the issue with Christopher Columbus and the Other would be a great issue to adapt

I wanna see the Mighty mutanimals get a spinoff, I think Nick could pull it off.
