IDW multi-colored masks

It feels like they are taking the best parts of all the universes and making the best combination possible. I was hoping for this in the Nick show but I think we are going to get it in the comics and that actually makes me even happier!

I can respect where you're coming from, I'm not sure it's going to be a more mature archie version but it definately does look like there will be plenty of mutants, which I honestly don't mind at all, if mutant turtles are possible other mutants should be just as feasible. As long as they don't make it mutant-of-the-week of course.

Watching you awesome fans debate is like a great day at the beach -- the waves can get a bit choppy but, man, the water's fine! Love it!

Coming from someone who loves the Mirage comics, 4kids show, Fred Wolf cartoon, the first movie and the Archie books all the same, I hate the idea of IDW's TMNT wearing multi-color headbands.

I'd let it slide if they wore different colors when just hanging out around the lair/casey's place and put on the all red when they were going into battle, but that scene in Raphael #1 was just jarring.

What's majorly annoying is the confusion around it all, too. First Tristan's acting like they put them on for the first time in Infestation (which looks like it's taking place after the second story arc), then we have them wearing them in a pre-#6 story with absolutely no in-story explanation or word from the creative team, then they're wearing red in the cover to #7 and were' not allowed to see #6's just yet.

I hate to bitch because I love what this book's been doing so far, but it just doesn't feel right. Red headbands please.

My first thread and it's already got comments from tristan and Tom Waltz himself, is it weird to feel proud?

Too bad he still didn't confirm anything about the subject

Come on Tom, give us the goods.

I don't care what color masks they have, just take my damn money and print more comics!

Or if, alternately, you would prefer some "goodies":

Did anyone think that there IS no in universe reason the turtles are wearing colored bandanas? It's possible it's just because of the colorists' preference.

Editorial oversight, you mean? No, not really. Plus didn't the artist mention on DeviantArt flat out that the Turtles will be ditching their red bandannas shortly in the comic?

Never insulted you... And what you post publicly on the internet for the sake of debate, is 100% my business, man.

A lot of people state their opinions like it's fact, and due it way more arrogantly than that person did. Back off.

[Samhain]

The fact is why change something like this if the book if it is selling so well? In my opinion the comic turtles should always wear red headbands. All other media gets muti-colored, why can't the comic stay true to it's roots? I'm really sick of people saying, ''why 4 Raphelz''?

[pannoni1]

I could care less about this normally whenever I hear "new TMNT", but whatever style the turtles use in the first issue/episode, I prefer that for the rest of the series except if some legitimate explanation told why the turtles have different headbands. It's no worse than having Mike switching his weapon from Nunchucks to a grappling hook. Sure, we have some fans disapproving on the switch, but others (and everybody should) simply accept change and move on. And honestly through all of the merchandise I see, approximately 98% of all turtles merchandise has the colored bandanas, so it's easy to see what is more popular.

Well that's kind of a defeatist attitude, don't ya think?

So every time something happens that you don't like you just accept it and move on? I

If people feel strongly about this they should voice their opinions. There are people who work for the company that come to these boards. While I know that we are not the majority of the people buying the book we are a big chunk. We are the one's who have stuck by this franchise through all the different phases. If there are anyone that the writers want to take into consideration I'd think it would be the fans.

I'm not saying they are going to. But this gives us a chance to have a small voice. Maybe Nick is telling them they need colored bandanas cause that's what sells. Buy us saying "Hey no wait!" they can go back and say "look the fans like them all in red."

Him. You were just stating your opinion dude.

My opinion is, I always liked the look of the rainbow headbands better but can understand why people would like the more "clannish" red bandannas. But still, I don't think it's gonna drive away any new readers to have them have rainbow bandannas.
