Yeah, but one thing that's always been good about TMNT comics across the board is the amount of lasting consequence. I mean I'm a huge fan of super-hero comics but I don't think anyone ever read TMNT so they could make exceptions for the constant walking back or handwaving of major plot events. In my experience, that's kind of why most people who read TMNT comics ONLY read TMNT comics, and avoid/ignore everything else.

If they get in the habit of walking things back and ignoring other things when it's "convenient", then it's no different from any other comic book.

Holy sh*t, man. That was awesome.

I've been visiting this forum for almost 10 years now, I know how it goes, it's fine. Fans not liking everything I do comes with the job, that's part of the job description. I've been doing comics professionally since 2002, I can take criticism just fine, I've heard it all, from death threats to people threatening to beat me up and that I'm a waste of space etc. etc. It's really fine, some days it wears on me for sure but it's not a big deal. It's just how it goes.

Early days of my series Wet Moon I used to get it pretty hard from readers and critics alike, but damn the worst was probably when I was working on Jem & the Holograms, those fans were BANANAS. Angry Jem fans make angry TMNT fans look like a walk in the park, like the meanest stuff I've ever heard said to me by anyone, haha. And hey I'm still here.

In any case, you guys can talk about whatever the hell you want and have whatever opinion you want, and I'll keep doing Turtles.
Being perfectly honest I actually enjoyed your Jemw story. But then again the original cartoon wasn’t my thing

I mean, I like other comics that do "what everybody else does" but I never would have been drawn to TMNT as a young adult if it didn't go against the grain in that way.

In the same way that consequences matter in material like the Mirage TMNT and things aren't generally walked back/people resurrected "just because that's what other comics do!", they aren't superheroes that protect people "just because that's what other comics do!" That doesn't even make sense for them to do.

As a monster girl connoisseur I find that as the equivalent as saying “yes, I too like vanilla hentai.”

Hey man, we can get weird but in a public forum I have my limits.

Might be a fun conversation, but I am NOT having it Out Here with all the neighbors watching.

Well we can scratch “likes being watched” off the list of kinks.

Lita was originally going to be Venus (hence the tessen/fan weapons and the yin yang imagery) but it didn't work out, so she ended up as a renamed new character. If my main goal there was to get a Turtle OC in I would've just used Artemisia from my Secrets of the Ooze fan comic from the get go.

As interesting as that would and could have been, you just know that that would've pushed certain people's buttons around here and we all know how sensitive the little bless'ems can be.

Interesting concept. I was a fan of Venus becoming kind of a time-travelling entity.

Though to me... it had to be the "real" Venus. The last (misunderstood) survivor of a dead universe/dimension. I wouldn't want to see a new Venus.

Does Nick not own the rights or just weren't allowed to use her for other reasons?

Yeah, of course you'd say so. I mean, you did it first. Kind of weird, really. Venus in Odyssey is a time mistress, scepter & all.

I wonder what didn't work out?
Is she still belongs to Saban or Disney?

That probably explains why we haven't seen any Next Mutation-only characters crop up in new media (Vam Mi, Silver, ect). I always found it odd IDW never used any of those weirdos given their propensity for introducing characters from other incarnations.
