What is one thing you've wanted to do with TMNT at IDW that you haven't yet been able to do? Or would answering that result in spoilers?

2. We have a "Preferred Character" list from Nickelodeon that has all of the (very many) characters we are legally allowed to use. So basically, I have to check that list when we want to use someone, but it's rare, like Bloodsucker, when we can't. It's not set in stone, but we also try and avoid new characters from new media, at least for a year or two, more as a professional courtesy than anything else. So no plans for Eric Sachs or Fishface, but who knows, could happen in the future. I'm a big Cudley fan, so i'd love to see the Cowlick sometime! |

I'll leave it to Nate and crew to share material from the board game, but everything I've seen looks great, and I am eager to play it! |

This one's probably been asked before, but what first got you into TMNT?

I'm 34, so grew up during prime Turtle-mania. So the cartoon and then movie. As I became a pre-teen I got into the Mirage comics in a big way. Though I had come across a couple before that. I recall the first TMNT comic I ever read was some late printing of TMNT #2 that my Mom somehow came across. I thought the Mousers were so cool! (still do!)

How do you decide what characters to include in the comic? Dark Water for example seems quite obscure appearing in just one later 1987 cartoon episode. I felt that the group had potetial never utilized within it's universe of origin not considering any other appearance outside of it. Roundtable discussion of favorite characters? Research through the vast media?
What would you say to the Turtles going abroad or exploring Dimension X? I have wanted to see more from the Nuetrinos after the amazing reworking of them back in the late teens of the ongoing.

Are we going to have any new artists in the near future?
Any chance for any of the Mirage Era artists or guest cover artists to work on full issues? Any chance for a Tales of series to allow for other artists to work within the IDW Universe? I'd like to see Steve Lavigne, Jim Lawson, Rich Woodall, Ben Bishop, Sal Otero and a few others work on the Turtles. (Just to name a few...) (Okay to print.)

Hi Bobby! Thanks for this thread. As you may be able to guess if you look at sigs, I'm the main administrator for Wikia's TMNT Wiki. One thing I've been trying to figure out in terms of structure is how precisely the different incarnations of the TMNT are separated, and how they can be better categorized. Right now they're listed by like, 87 series, 03 series, 12 series, Mirage, Archie, IDW, etc. But I'd like to get a better, coherent categorization like Marvel and DC do with their New/Prime Earth and Earth-616 and the like. If I were to get an official way to designate incarnations, would you or anyone else at IDW be someone I can talk to about that, or would I have to keep trying at the ear of Nick? (I've tried getting in touch with Ciro and others at Nick and have gotten nothing)
Also are we ever gonna see Tristan Jones back on anything TMNT?

Where did the reincarnation idea come from? It's without a doubt the biggest deviation from what people expected and I am curious how you guys decided on it.

Was the low sales of the last two mini's (Mutanimals and April/Casey) the reason there is a long gap before the next mini? I remember you saying the Batman crossover wasn't the reason we won't have a new mini for a few months, so I'm curious.
Its disappointing the Mutanimals mini especially sold so little, I thought it was great! Would love to see more stories with Hob and the other Mutanimals. |

Hey Bobby, has IDW ever approached Peter Laird or Steve Murphy to write a guest issue for TMNT?

You'll be seeing more Dimension X in the future, though not for a while. |

I've got complicated thoughts on the Mirage crew. I'm a huge fan of all of them (the 30th Anniversary book was my big love letter to TMNT of the past), but i'm always hesitant to bring them on to the IDW book. Mostly i'd like for us to be blazing our own trail, at least artistically, and it's important to me that the book have it's own identity. That being said, anything is possible. We've got something in the works that I hope will allow for a wide range of artists, and different types of stories. |

No plans for Tristan at the moment. Had fun seeing him in Australia last year, though! |

The reincarnation aspect is completely Tom's idea, so I can't speak much to where it came from (Tom, if you read this, you should feel free to chime in!). Once he floated it, it seemed like an idea that opened up a lot of story potential, so that was attractive to me. As an added bonus, it does help our TMNT stand out a bit from other iterations.
