I like that title, could be a series led by Alopex and maybe Mona Lisa, give them some time in the spotlight and hopefully let the turtles actually have some proper panel time in the main series.

Will Vernon Fenwick ever appear? Or how about concept characters, like Ringtone, Limulus, the Selected, or others?

Burne had a cameraman in the issue he appeared in, it was probably him.

It all depends on if the creators want to utilize them!

[PApagreg]

If you can introduce characters from the 2k12 and Rise series who would you introduce(provided if you seen them)

Speaking of that character, do you prefer ego-centric coward Vernon or creepy douchebag Vernon? I'd say they're both annoying but for different reasons.

With Mutant Town having a variety of Mutant Animal civilians living out a normal life.

Have you ever thought of exploring there more animal instincts? Some of these mutants are mutated versions of animals that are of the Predator and Prey variety.

What if some of these mutants have difficulty controlling those instincts. The whole Predator vs Prey thing. It could cause some conflict within the community because of those animals have natural enemies.

Mutants who are of the Big Cat types have the potential to see some of the other beings as Prey.

Hi Bobby.
Now that the original Eastmen & laird run has been colorized and collected in two formats,and the colorized Image run is near to being finished and collected,do you have any idea what run will next be collected as an IDW project going forward?
Tales of the TMNT in its entirety perhaps?
Or maybe Lairds 2001-2014 TMNT series?

I don't have a particularly interesting answer to this... I still have a handful of Rise episodes to catch up on. Albearto makes me laugh though! 2k12 is all sort of jumbled into one big pile in my mind now. But regardless, they borrowed from a lot of things like we do, so I don't know if there's any major characters that we're missing from there. I'm sure someone could remind me of like ten different characters that i'm forgetting though!

Ego-centric.

Yeah, if a writer wanted to explore something like that, it could be interesting.

I don't, no... we're talking about doing a series of focused one shot reprints. Like "Best of Leo", "Best of Raph" etc, possibly from across the various publishers, but nothing is set in stone.

you could have a story where some mutants are going savage. And its up to the Turtles and some scientist to find some antidote to help restore there humanity.

[LUIS]

I'd like a "Mutant Town" mini, seeing how some of the residents are dealing with their mutations

Dude. Quit ripping off Zootopia.

I don't know if it's ever been made clear if Konami or Mirage (now Nick) own(ed) the rights to those video game exclusive characters.
