And yes on Mateus! We've been in communication recently. That's about all I can say about it at this point. |

A) Hob was still kinda working as a minion for Stockman at this point, right? I imagine Baxter thought that he'd get more value out of Hob engaging the Turtles or that Hob would be too unruly to keep around. That, and the fact that Hob wasn't a "controlled" experiment perhaps meant he only had so much scientific value to Baxter. B) Ha, no, I don't know that I have any good answer for that. Both the Turtles and Hob were around humans before mutating so perhaps they absorbed some English in some way, the understanding and speaking of which was enhanced when the mutagen affected their brains. That's clearly me just making stuff up to justify. To a degree we're doing what has always been done with mutagen in TMNT-- playing fast and loose with the science of it so it works for the story. I definitely don't recommend looking too closely at it as more holes will likely appear! |

I appreciate it, Bobby! I don't expect there to be a neatly packed answer for every little thing, but I appreciate the effort.
I've gotta say, I'm probably enjoying the series more now than I did the first time around, aside from the excitement of it being new & mysterious that came with the launch of the book. Expectations probably have something to do with that. Though I am reminded again that I miss the dynamic here between Leonardo and Donatello. Not only that we were able to ruminate on the science vs mysticism angle, which had a lot of potential before it was confirmed that they were, in fact, reincarnated, but also just the contrast between appointed leader and someone with an intelligence high enough to really challenge that. Thanks again. |

I heard that issue 110 of TMNT will have Alopex and Raph dealing with a group of biker mutants. It would be cool if some of these bikers are mutant mice and they are dressed up similar to the Biker Mice from Mars. It would be a cool easter egg and reference.

To be fair they are one of the more successful anthropomorphic mutant ips that were created to cash-in on the TMNT craze of the early nineties.
Preferred Bucky O'Hare myself. |

Fun fact, Bucky O'Hare was actually created before TMNT came along...

Krang spoke of other hosts he had and that they weren't as difficult to deal with as Leatherhead, how often has Krang used his parasitic abilities and is Leatherhead hard to deal with because he's a mutant?
I was also wondering about the Slithery, is the implication that the initial blast reached into the sewers or has the mutagen been lying around and poisoning the eco system for a while now? |

Bobby, I'm seeing a lot of discussion in comic book circles online regarding the identity of the turtle in "The Last Ronin". I don't want to pry, but I have to wonder what level of enthusiasm you guys are seeing for this series over at IDW. I'm a bit of a cheerleader for this book, but it seems like this could be pretty big in the comic community. It was a great idea for you guys to hold back on revealing the turtle's identity.

Bobby I was thinking about those Orphans that were so important to the whole conflict between the 3 different ninja clans leading up to #100 I know they fled to dimension X but did they stay there? I was just thinking how odd it was that right now the turtles are training a new generation of ninja when they were so against having those orphans being enlisted in the foot, even under Splinter?s guidance.
I mean Splinter clan seems to be pretty tame and I?m guessing it?s more of a community program compared to the foot but with the focus being switched to mutant town can we expect to see these kids again or is their story effectively over? I?m forgetting if this is how it works in IDW but did time move differently in Dimension X? Could the TMNT return there to find a whole new society of humans that came from that group that originally crossed dimensions? I know they likely aren?t any priority on the list of characters you have running around but for being so important it?s odd they just don?t matter any more. |

As I said, that's all in my head, so that could change! As for your Slithery question-- keep reading! We'll address those questions to an extent in the near term. |

I think the hiding of the identity was mostly due to Kevin or Tom's suggestion, so they deserve the credit there! |

But yeah, this is just meant to be basic training like a kid would get in a karate class, no becoming thieves and murderers like they likely would under Karai. And all that being said I would definitely like to revisit them (and Harold and Libby) at some point before too long! |
