I'd rather it not be a new universe.

The Archie series went in that direction because there were a lot of underutilized mutant characters in the original cartoon and it allowed it to go in different and exciting directions rather than just having Shredder/Krang try to take over the world in every comic.

Dreamwave probably would have spun into a new universe if it went on long enough, but with only 4 issues based on episodes, 1 solo story and 1 2-parter...it could just as easily fit into 4kids continuity.

The Nick comic should probably stick to the show. Maybe fill in gaps, or produce filler stories that wouldn't contradict anything in the series.

I'm expecting episodes adaptation, but I'd prefer if they went the all new universe route. Probably not straight away, but I'd like to see that at some point if they have a good creative team. But, if done right, I'll whatever they do.

It would be so awesome if IDW went after the original TMNT-y way of distinguishing the comics. 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' for the main series; 'Tales of the TMNT' for the (well, the Tales series!) and 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures' to tie in with the Nick TV series.

i voted for the alternate universe option. I cant really see a nick show being so complex that they have to carry it over to comic and finish any loose ends there. I can see its comic being more continuous and more focused than the show... judging from other nick shows (not taking canon too seriously).

I remember hearing about there being two variations of a comic shortly after the buyout but haven't heard anything about this second version based off the T.V. show at all. Is this gonna happen?

Give it time, Master, it'll probably surface again after the show is on. I would guess summer next year at the earliest since most comics derived from cartoons initially start out adapting episodes so IDW would need a few under their belt to work from.

I think it's going to be straight up episode adaptions...but I would want in-between episode plots, more creative stuff.

*CyberCubed* · 05-29-2012, 10:43 PM

I wonder how they'll translate the CG look of the show into 2D comic form. They'd still have to capture the essence of the 3D characters but drawn in 2D.

It'll be interesting to see.

Those books for pre-order on the Barnes & Noble site may be some indication of the art style we could expect, albeit simplified.
