What writer would you like to see on TMNT comics? - Page 2

*odupianist* · 08-13-2007, 08:00 AM

I think whoever writes the Army of Darkness/Ash Williams comics should do a crossover lol. TMNT with Ash fighting zombies. I like it

**Jester** · 08-13-2007, 08:37 AM

Call me crazy, but I like Joss Whedon's Astonishing X-men for it's witty dialogue. I'd like to see his take on TMNT.

Spawn Guy · 08-13-2007, 12:23 PM

I like beer.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-13-2007, 12:44 PM

Joss Whedon will always find an interesting element to the concept.

Warren Ellis is also very good.

Having almost completed a Masters in TV Scriptwriting and heading for a 2:1, I would love to write a TMNT series as well. I have a great affinity for comics and especially the ninja turtles.

Also, looking at the state of British television, it is hard to get a job on anything, let alone anything decent. And my 23 years of age would work against me in finding a job, unless it's on rubbish. I've noticed a lot of the big comic writers are English/British and it would be a dream job. It's also something I will explore in the future, if I can find a willing artist on the board.

Spawn Guy · 08-13-2007, 01:06 PM

We should talk.

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-13-2007, 01:50 PM

Are you an artist then? If so, we should talk. But not until my final deadline has passed in mid-September.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-13-2007, 01:50 PM

Gary Carlson.

He already wrote all 23 issues of Volume 3, and I wanna see more of his stuff!

Okay, sorry guys, continue. I'm an Image TMNT fan, and this stuff happens sometimes.

I've said my say, so now I'll leave.

I'm hardly pro, but I try. I was going to be the co wrighter on the fan made Ultimate TMNT web comic until my co creators got called away on diffrent stuff and I got apathetic through lack of scanner. But I'm getting one soon, so...

*raphael_is_cool* · 08-14-2007, 05:18 AM

Being pro, doesn't matter. This is more for fun really. Do you have any links to your work so I can get an idea of your style?

Spawn Guy · 08-14-2007, 10:35 AM

No. See, that's kind of where the lack of scanner trips me up. No Deviantart or anything. But it looks like I'm finally going to be getting one, so...who knows.

kev trashcan · 08-23-2007, 12:47 PM

i think i'd be cool to se frank miller do ninja turtles, or tod mcfarlin. mostly frank miller, it would be crazy if he did.

johnnyblaze · 08-23-2007, 01:23 PM

frank miller, lol, i can see it now "we're the goddamn ninja turtles!"

personally i kinda dig that mulder and scully idea from above. it would be pretty cool if it was from their point of view and they never made complete, 1 on 1 contact with the turtles. just glimpses, moving shadows, stuff like that

kev trashcan · 08-23-2007, 01:34 PM

hahaha hell yeah, were the goddamn ninja turtles would be awesome

Michaelangelo|DAH · 08-28-2007, 02:18 PM

Sign me up for Frank Miller aswell

Saying Frank Miller for the thousandth time. It would be really interesting, as long as he doesn't make it too ridiculous like All Star Batman and Robin. It works for Batman, but since the TMNT were originally a satire anyway, it would be kind of unnecessary.

Brian K. Vaughn would be interesting as well. IMO Runaways is one of Marvel's best new creations in a long time. Kirkman could be interesting too.

Who I don't want to see touching the Ninja Turtles: JMS. I don't want to have it revealed that April had been sleeping around with Shredder (if you get this reference, then you've also read the worst Spidey book ever).

Spawn Guy · 09-09-2007, 05:26 PM

Yeah, there are better ways to make Gwen Stacy more than a mary sue memory than retaconing in a five minute affair and leaving behind two man children.

Time Mistress · 09-09-2007, 07:20 PM

My Choices:

Larry Hama - the guy knows comic book ninjas! He created or practically created Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and the whole Arashakage Clan for G.I. Joe, plus his run on Wolverine involving Clan Yoshida had some of the best Japanese based stories yet. He also knows the X-Men whose characters served as archtypes for the TMNT.

Joshua Elder - he does a Tokyopop American manga turned recently syndicated newspaper strip called Mail Order Ninja which is hilarious, he knows how to combine pop culture and ninjas with hilarious results, it would be a more OT-like take on the TMNT maybe, but it would be a heck of a lot of fun to see.

Nobuhiro Watsuki - okay, I know this one will never happen, but the guy loves American comics, and I'd love to see a real Japanese sequential artist, especially the one who did Rurouni Kenshin tackle the TMNT, his work has the right blend of action, comedy, and historicality to really put a cool spin on the TMNT stressing values like love, heroism, and redemption and some of the best kick butt action I've seen in a manga. He could bring a real intensity to the TMNT but at the same time balance it with the sense of fun the early Eastman & Laird issues also had.

I'd like to see Frank Miller, but not if the result would be anything like All Star Batman and Robin.

I'd fear what Grant Morrison would do to be "edgy and postmodern with TMNT" no thank you!

I'd like to see Chuck Dixon though. I haven't read his Robin, but I'm starting to read his Connor Hawke run on Green Arrow, and Connor was a martial arts, bow weilding, late teenage hero trying to follow in his father's footsteps. I think he'd do a good job.

Spawn Guy · 09-09-2007, 07:35 PM

While Morrison wouldn't be my first choice, his current run on Batman and his run on X Men show he knows how to build a mystery and deliver the action. Now this guy I'd definatly go for.
