TMNT Radio Theater? - Page 2

This is a fantastic idea. Archie or IDW, I don't mind. Personally I'd love to hear the mirage comics.

If this takes off, would you consider doing a podcast? I think some of the better one-shot fan-fictions would be alright too, as they are designed to be read without pictures.

The idea is to do this as a series. Like a new show every few weeks. The ideal would be a new show every two weeks. But if we had to do a new show every month that would work too.

With Archie we know where it ends, IDW is still going on. It is a big commitment what is being talked about here. That is why we aren't just jumping in.

Nope. That's a big reason we chose Archie off the bat, because it has more (it seems) female characters.

Hob, how many females are in IDW aside from April? This may have just made our decision for us.

*Master Splinter* · 09-10-2012, 07:18 AM

I'd say go with Archie.

So far April, Alopex, and Kari are main characters thus far. Then we have the other lab gal, the cop and other criminal in Mike issue, and I think some random Stockgen gal in Don. Oh and April's roommate in one issue. And Casy's Mom in his solo.

Now that I think about it there are a lot of female characters in IDW.

Do you know that Dimension X was originally an early 1950's US science fiction radio show?

And that means... what now?

*Jephael* · 09-10-2012, 01:14 PM

I'd kinda like to do IDW.

My feelings about using IDW is that it is still new and people can go out and buy the material from pretty much any comic shop or find it easily online from a retailer. Archie however has not been in stores for a while, granted you can still find most issues pretty easily they are still most likely going to be second hand sales. If we use the IDW issues then theoretically IDW can possibly lose sales because someone can just listen to these to get the story instead of purchasing them.

I know IDW is reprinting Archie but I think to keep us safe from infringing on anyone's rights we should stick with the older material for now.

*Donnie* · 09-10-2012, 03:39 PM

I'll audition for some parts. Sounds like a cool idea!

I'd much rather do IDW, but I'll try out either way.

**Jester** · 09-10-2012, 03:40 PM

I can see that, Splinter. Especially if we outrun our source material and we end up doing them not long after the physical release....at least with the Archie books, we'd have plenty to work with and we'd not run the risk of catching up to where the comics are being published.

At the same time, don't you think we might attract more people by voicing the current comic rather than an older one that only us older fans really know about?

Like I said, I don't mind either way, but both MS's point and the above are something to think about.

**Jester** · 09-10-2012, 03:51 PM

I don't mean to come off as "pushing" Archie. It's just the more I think about it, the more it seems that doing those would make more sense.

We can make fake commercials letting people know about the new releases from IDW. Or even for fan sites... I can just picture it now... "What would you dooo-oo-oo for Mutant Ooze...?"

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-10-2012, 04:34 PM

This started off as an Archie based project. I think that would be the course to hold for now. I mean IDW does have a lot of female characters, more then I thought, but I understand MS point.

However that doesn't mean I think it should sound like the FW show though.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-13-2012, 02:28 PM

Haven't seen any auditions for Krang and Shredder. No one interested in those parts?

*ZariusTwo* · 09-14-2012, 06:07 AM

I used to do a pretty good Krang impersonation, but it really strained my voice, I don't think I could sustain it.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-14-2012, 12:52 PM

You don't have to sound like the cartoon. Whatever take you want on the character is worth a try.

Oniri · 09-26-2012, 12:23 PM

Hey! Oniri! I know this project is not as visual heavy, but I would like to offer my services for the splash pages. Will they be from the original comics (Archies or IDW) are you looking for art drawn specifically for the radio show? Either way I would be interested.
