could Mirage open up a animation/film studio like Marvel is doing ?

Erm, out of people who read it. Truth is, most comic shop owners don't even know there IS or WAS a volume 4.

Anyway, that wasn't really my point.

All I mean is it would easily work as a laird-published Turtles "Future" book, not as the workhorse of the franchise.

Well I don't know much about Mirage but I do know DC/Marvel struggle with sales a lot. If the two largest comic companies don't really sell that much you can't expect smaller ones to do well, especially very small ones like Mirage seems to be. Comic books are pretty much dead and have a small niche fanbase.

Yea, but one of the most well known franchises in comics should be doing a wee bit better.

That's true, but both companies will be rich for enternity because of the movies and toys they're selling, so they'll always be able to afford the production of comics. Personally I think it comes down to kids, and the fact that they'd rather play videogames than read comics.
