Ask a Question: IDW's TMNT Editor Thread

[Ninjinister]

I don't think Obama was ever mentioned so I don't see why he would, either...

C'mon, you know they're better than that! Way better.

No plans at this time. And thanks for writing!

We renewed it this year, I don't know how long it lasts for. Sorry, those discussions are above my head. But for at least a few years I would imagine.

No, different world, president would be fictional.

Also, by my count, it will only be 2014 after #65. Assuming we're still saying Change is Constant and #5 were in 2011.

That's probably for the best. So are you going to use that as an opportunity to get a little crazy with the president? Like have the president secretly be a vampire or assasinated by the Foot, you know, something that will never happen to the real president?

Who knows?? No plans to see the President at this time, but with Bishop and government stuff around it's certainly possible.

Not a question but for what it's worth I would be interested to see IDW's fictitious government, the president & such. I don't think we've ever had one established in TMNT before. Would be cool!

The President chewed Bishop's ass in 4kids, I think the same episode the guys saved him from the fake invasion.

"Cowabunga Shredhead" had the bad guys trying to impersonate Ronald Reagan lol.

I think that's it, except the silly Super Turtles stuff Tales.

Is the Nick Batman crossover a 6-issue mini like the previous one, or is this going to be shorter?

[ToTheNines]

Hey Bobby, I haven't been able to find the Couceiro cover for Universe #4 anywhere. Is it a big spoiler or something?

[neatoman]

Speaking of the Batman TAS/Nick TMNT crossover, why those particular versions of the characters? I get Nick TMNT, it's the current cartoon and the one you made tie-in comics to before, just not sure why it's crossing over with a cartoon that's twenty years older.

5 issues, but might have a little something bonus after.

No, it just wasn't done until about two weeks ago. Not too long until the issue comes out, you'll see it then!

The primary reason is that's the most popular cartoon version of Batman.

Seems reasonable. Interesting how that's still the case after so many years, even though there were Batman cartoons before and Batman cartoons made since.

Hi Bobby,
Hope you are doing well.
Maybe it has been answered before but how likely is the Deviations one-shot to be included in the IDW Collection?

That's all Mateus, unless Erik had a part in her creation that i'm misremembering.

I just added a few ideas to her backstory. I wish I could take more credit than that, because she's awesome, but Kitsune is definitely Mateus' brainchild.
