Ask a Question: IDW's TMNT Editor Thread - Page 67

I do like that Woody is the first human that they come in contact with this time around instead of April and Casey - and even more than that, he gives them the space they need and doesn't ask questions.

With the mutanimals, I am wondering how they'll fit into things. Considering that you hinted at the Triceratons in 2017 a while back(I'm assuming much later in the year), and the Chekhov's Gunman that is Ch'rell waiting around to be released, partnered with Bishop knowing about Burnow Island and even the Utroms as hinted in Universe #2, I am curious as to how the Mutanimals will fit with everything else. It should be pretty interesting.

You ever thought of putting in a character in name only but is never actually seen? Like Seinfeld did with Bob Sacamano where he is constantly brought up but never seen in the series. Would bring a sense in intrigue into it i think.

*Xav* · 11-05-2016, 10:45 PM

Are there any legal issues with using Ninjara?

Not really, no, outside of characters we foreshadow.

She's on the list of approved characters, so not to my knowledge.

*MikeandRaph87* · 11-06-2016, 02:25 PM

That brings me to ask, if you are permitted of course,if not don't bother, who is on the 'cannot use list'?

There is no "do not use" list, just a very long "can use" list. It's alphabetically sorted, thankfully!

Does that means characters like Dreadmon, Jagwar, Mezcaal, Mona Lisa, Ninjara, and Wingnut are on the table for future issues?

I would love to see the IDW versions of those characters, hopefully those characters would stay true to the originals.

Are Tatsu, Keno, Prof. Jordan Perry, and/or Chief Sterns included on it, by any chance? What about Venus?

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 11-06-2016, 05:45 PM

I might as well get in on this. Bobby, what about characters created specifically for TMNT but introduced in a series not owned by Mirage? I'm thinking specifically of Image's Volume 3 in the Mirage canon?

Examples: Pimiko, Lord Komodo, Tony Puzorelli, Chen...

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 11-06-2016, 05:46 PM

Semi-related question, Bobby.

Without delving into spoilers or firm commitments, has anyone at IDW discussed the idea of a peek into the future (another Turtles in Time) that shows us a child or descendant of Casey and April, like Shadow or Cody?

I also second this, in the Archie Comics, The Turtles traveled 100 years into the future and teamed up with there adult future selves.

Wingnut/Screwloose already appeared in the Bebop/Rocksteady mini.

I believe this means her 3-part story in Furrlough #47, 48 and 52 could be reprinted and even completed.
How likely is it?

Bobby Curnow · 11-07-2016, 08:35 AM

Sorry, I don't have time to look and see who of all these guys are on the list or aren't. (just got back from vacation and there's lots to do, eep!)

No plans for another glimpse at the TMNT future for now, but I could see it happening at some point.

I've never heard anyone mention Furrlough, so I don't know anything about that. Assume "no".

Here are the comics that Ninjara has appeared on in Furrlough

Furrlough #47

Furrlough #48

Furrlough #52
http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2012/...rlough-52.html

Bobby Curnow · 11-07-2016, 11:34 AM

Oh, I know about them, I just meant that no one in reprint department has brought it up, so assume that there's no reprint of that material.

*DestronMirage22* · 11-07-2016, 12:59 PM

Hey Bobby, I just wanna say thanks for publishing One of my letters in issue 58. That was neat. Question for you: will we see more of the Shredder clones, other than they're appearance in the latest back up?

**Venom** · 11-10-2016, 11:10 AM

Bobby, how long does IDW have the TMNT license for? We'll need someone to carry the torch while the property's next tv/film iteration gestates!

*CyberCubed* · 11-10-2016, 01:05 PM

Given the recent election, there won't be any Trump references in the comic going forward, I hope?
