Is this related to Shredder in Hell, which we know also comes out early next year, or something entirely different?

BTW, Soakorr and Angleron were two of the random mutants shown in the StockGen lab incident from Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything.

It is not related to Shredder in Hell, no.

A'ight, I'm hyped! Thanks!

Today, I am a messenger!

I've been talking to someone who's tried to join the forum but hasn't been admitted yet due to the current "backlog", so I'm sending something in for them since we've been talking

“Hello. I am a huge fan of Leatherhead, to the point that honestly, his moral alignment in the IDW comics is really getting to me. In light of the end of issue #85, is there any form of spoiler-free assurance that he’ll be okay?”

They're mostly concerned with reviewers marking him up as "evil" a lot of the time and is pretty upset by that.

Bobby Curnow · 08-28-2018, 11:59 AM

Hey Utrom,

I believe I got a letter from this person (a Chris?) and intended to answer it in Ninja Notes. If they would like the response to be a surprise, please don't share this response!

Leatherhead will continue to be a wild card-- sometimes doing "good" things, sometimes "bad". That's about as vague as I can be without spoiling anything, the reality will be more complicated. We do have major developments in mind for Leatherhead, so he will continue to be a pivotal character in the series.

Not sure if that is any comfort to the person in question, but that's what I have!

Hello, Bobby!

After "B&RHtR" I read again #69 and I had a little theory. We learned that Agent Ravenwood joined the EPF in 1955. In 1958, President Eisenhower came to Area 51 and saw there something that the military had created and this greatly frightened him.

Maybe it was a failed experiment that created Agent Ravenwood?

I understand that this could be a spoiler, so I just wanted to know if this is possible. And do we know the truth about the events of 1958? Thanks!

Bobby Curnow · 09-05-2018, 03:27 PM

All I can say is to read on! The early days of EPF will be touched upon soon.

Ок, thank you! EPF, Bishop and Ravenwood are the most interesting part of the mythology of the TMNT IDW-Universe for me now. I can not wait to find out more details!

*Utrommaniac* · 09-05-2018, 10:28 PM

Yeah, the EPF has gotten a great big injection of "Interesting" and it's really fun seeing what's going on.

Especially with Ravenwood. I think she's my favorite mutant now.

*miru* · 09-11-2018, 06:22 PM

Are there plans for reprints of the newspaper comic as a book like how IDW has done with other comic strips? Do you have the rights to reprint the Welsh Magazine comics?

Bobby Curnow · 09-12-2018, 01:08 PM

I'm not certain, sorry. Not my department!

*neatoman* · 09-19-2018, 02:58 PM

Bishop invading Sweden... You know, I'm willing to provide some reference photos of Stockholm and nearby areas, if you're interested that is.

On a more serious note, I'm a little confused about Bishop's flashback. Is he remembering that event or does it just cut to the past? That has to be Bishop Sr, right?

Well, the party that wants stricter migration policies did drive a wedge between the tradional right and left alliances, as said party is outside both. Seriously, we had an election less than two weeks ago and nobody knows how to form a government. Roughly speaking the Alliance (right wing) got 40% of the parliament seats, the Red-Green (left wing) got another 40% and the Sweden Democrats (outside both) got 20%. It's a total disaster, what makes it even worse is that there were problems trying to form a government after previous election as well.

This graph represents how the parliament is divided right now, the Sweden Democrats are represented as a literal yellow wedge separating the right and left into rough equals.

in a weird way, it kind of makes me wish we had a two party system, at least then we wouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing.

Sounds like the only way out of that particular pickle (assuming no one wants to hold another election so soon which would likely just end in another stalemate) is for either the left (yeah, that'll be the day...) or the right to form a coalition with SD. Previous governments' irresponsible approach to immigration under even more irresponsible UE directives made that an inevitability, pretty much. /OT

We'll learn more about Bishop's past in the next two issues. But I can confirm that's Bishop Sr in the flashback in #86.

Was there any thought about giving Bebop and Rocksteady their Nickelodeon names?

Bobby Curnow · 09-20-2018, 09:33 AM

No, can't say that there was.

*CyberCubed* · 09-20-2018, 02:30 PM

Out of curiosity were prompted a second Christmas issue? Was it because the first one was well received, or there needed to be another stand-alone issue between big arcs and it just happened to fall in December's month, so I guess why not?

And also, doesn't this wreak havoc with the timeline?

#1-65 was one whole year, and #66-89 was another year? Or is it just at the END of December, and #65 was way back at the beginning of the same December?
