Oh I get it. Bow and arrow... like Artemis, goddess of the hunt. Pretty sneaky Ross.

Oh... Maybe Ross did sneak a little Greek culture into his vision after all!

How is the 5th Turtle going to be worked into the plot of the second movie?
What, will they just discover him in the TGRI building or something? |

Because I love you folks (sort of), I've copied some recent comments Ross made on his DevArt page and reorganized them under specific themes:
Just how much will this comic resemble the plot of the film, Secret of the Ooze? Quote:

We believe in you, Ross.

Wonders if IDW would do a TMNT Elseworlds imprint. I mean, it could bring in some awesome, non continuity stuff, like this.

Man, when he said he was working on a fan comic, I was very excited.
But, this fifth turtle thing... It's a deal breaker for me. |

Soul's Winter is one of my favorites, so I'd be all for a Elseworld/What if comic line

If they do I'm gonna have to throw a story at them I've been writing on and off for a few years now. It's perfect for a Elseworld's style book.

agreed. i'm so not into the fifth turtle idea either. though i have to say that i've heard Ross' pitch for this before and it is the most appealing that i've heard from anywhere. i LOVE the use of the bow and arrow. in my mind it's the most logical weapon to follow. his art is always on point and we know from wet moon and shadow eyes that he is an equally talented writer. the only thing i'm not really feeling was the name Artemisia. it feels a little too complex of a name. i would have chosen Monet (Mona for short) if the name had to be from the Italian renaissance period than i would say Masaccio (Mace for short). but in all likelihood, she was not brought up/raised by splinter so he probably has a more crafty kind of name that was given to her as a nickname which would have been inspired probably by her personality. in the end the name is trivial. the key to a successful fifth character would be in the character's personality and how well she gels with the other four. i'm looking forward to reading this story and Ross' interpretation of the secret of the ooze |

However, Ross's project is one of love rather than business. He just wants to do his own take on the Turtles and doesn't want to be bothered by the stress of deadlines.

I don't think we need else world tales this early into a new TMNT series. Stuff like this should stay as fan comics.
Else world tales ruined the middle of Volume 1. |

I think if they are ever think of doing an Elseworld title they should just go straight TPB with them. Don't make them part of the monthly series.
Ross's project has me excited. I'm really curious to see how he pulls everything together. |

Only due to the fact they were forced in place of the main narrative. On their own, as another volume, would've been fine.

The only good else world tale was Soul's Winter, everything else was just a goofy parody. Don't forget those green-grey soup sushi turtles in the Turtle Soup volumes.

I liked them; the Green-Grey Sponge-Suit Sushi Turtles were probably Mark Martin's best contribution to the TMNT books. The official first movie parody was a pretty good commentary on the TMNT's evolution from indy comic sensation to mass-marketed kid's franchise. That type of multi-verse story worked much better than trying to shoe-horn Martin's unique ideas of art & comedy into the ongoing title in issues #22-23.

I really love the designs of Artie, no human female curves, no boobs. I'm a huge fan of his early Venus design
It's very refreshing |

Exactly. I would want the "Elseworlds" TMNT stories to be distinctly OUTSIDE the continuity. There'd be no confusion...these are alternate, what if stories/universes.

In all seriousness I would actually drop the IDW series if they introduced a 5th Turtle as part of the "team." For fan projects like this its OK, but I don't even want to see in in "elseworlds" tales either.
Thankfully Tom has already stated before there shall be no 5th Turtle. |

Where did Tom state there wouldn't be a 5th turtle? I mean I'm not saying that I want one, but I'm not opposed to the idea.
Anyway how do you guys think he will work the Utroms in to the narrative of SotO? |
