Just something we wanted to do!

#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?

Sure, #66-89 could be another year. However it works best for you, it's not something we've spent any time thinking about.

I personally feel that #66-89 packs far too much into what appears to be such a short time period for it to be a whole year, but it doesn't really matter much for the story. After all, no one wonders how some TV shows manage to have holiday specials every year without the characters ever getting older.

I think the breakdown in the Chronological Timeline thread is probably fairly accurate timing wise.

Hey Bobby, quick question, can you tell us if we'll be seeing more of Alopex and/or Nobody in the lead-up to #100?

Yes, we will!

09-25-2018, 09:40 AM

Awesome, thanks!

*neatoman* · 09-25-2018, 09:52 AM

Speaking of #100, once it's released, do you lean towards continuing the numbering with #101 or start over with a new #1?

Bobby Curnow · 09-25-2018, 11:21 AM

Can't really say at this point!

Hey Bobby, do you think we'll ever get any more info on what Shen is? And by that I mean, how she's able to interact with Splinter and the Turtles from the afterlife when, for all we know, she's just a regular woman. I speculated in another thread that this'll be addressed in Shredder in Hell but I'm just curious if this'll ever be explained or if it's something that is meant to stay mysterious.

Hey Bobby, do you know if the future volumes of IDWs TMNT chronological reading collection are gonna have the short, back-up comics from TMNT Universe in them?

funatic · 10-01-2018, 12:40 AM

Hi Bobby, looking forward to seeing you at NYCC again this year! I saw there's the Shredder in Hell print by Mateus as an exclusive. Had the pleasure of meeting him at SDCC this year! Any other TMNT exclusives?

Also saw that the Rise of the TMNT cast is signing at the booth. Do you happen to know if this will be the same Rise print that was signed at SDCC? Wondering if I need to rush to you to get a wristband, or leave it to another lucky fan if it's the same print and cast.

Any other signings/panels I'm missing? Only Paul Allor Thursday?

Thanks in advance and see ya soon!

As of now, she's just someone residing in the afterlife with a close spiritual connection to her family. It could be deduced that Splinter and the Turtles peculiar return to life could have something to do their ability to reconnect with Shen, but that's just conjecture at this point.

It sounds like you know about as much as I do! Sorry, i'm not to plugged into what's going on with signings and exclusives.

10-01-2018, 11:13 AM

Got you, thanks!

Hey Bobby, concerning the Turtles and Splinters return to life, I never thought of the possibility of the connection to Shen being the reason for their reincarnation. For a long time I figured it had something to do with what we saw at the very end of issue #50 with Krang. I realize that this is all conjecture, but are we ever going to find out why the reincarnation occurred?

hypered1 · 10-01-2018, 04:11 PM

Hi Bobby, thank you for all but confirming the hardbacks will be continuing beyond volume 8. Do you know when we'll start seeing pre-order details for volume 9 and possibly 10? Thank you

This is one of those instances where if I give a yes or no answer it could point in the direction of potential spoilers. Can't answer, sorry!

I'm not sure, sorry. My guess Vol. 9 would be mid-2019 though, with 10 around the holiday season 2019.
