What if the Archie comics kept goin?

[Andrew NDB]

So a more precise question might be, "What if the Archie comics kept going, and if 'Dean Clarrain' never ran afoul of Archie?"

Well, then we'd have gotten the original Forever War and onward. Who can imagine. I don't think -- and having worked on the Forever War that you'll actually get myself from everything that was recovered and pieced together -- that it was ever intended as a series finale. It could've served as that, vs. the "How the Turtles got their first wet dream" or whatever they settled on instead, but it just seems like a cool one off event that cleans up a bit of Shredder continuity.
