The numbers are not telling what kind of people is buying it. And I'm pretty sure the original audience switched with another demography. Maybe its a handful for you, but I keep finding people all around the internet who didnt like the departure the comic took and are still waiting for it to return how it was. Maybe some of those are still buying it in hope it will change (they shouldnt... the only way to get heard is with your money) If you like it, its fine. I dont. And the only other TMNT comic I can get is one that keeps getting delayed and not in the same canon. (Or the Andrew run. Yeah I'm gonna call it that) |

I've seen this said on here many times but no one has ever provided a link or some proof to back these claims up - I'm not saying I don't believe you, I'm just asking for some evidence, a reasonable request surely?

Who are these additional 5-10.000 buyers? There's pretty much only two people here who actively defend it, at least without admitting it's flawed, otherwise it has mostly received a negative response here. On 4chan there is a similar response to it as well and it's really hard to gauge the response on twitter/reddit because of those sites work. Is it people who are reading through the Waltz run for the first time and try to keep up? Is it people who picked up Last Ronin (which actually sells better than some Marvel/DC books according to these numbers) and assume it's in continuity with this? |

I assume Sophie's run will continue till issue 150. Then issue 151-200 will likely be the return of Tom Waltz for the home stretch of the series as it reaches its conclusion.

However, there is one rather long thread I found where most people detail their frustrations with Sophie's run: https://www.reddit.com/r/TMNT/commen...e_sophies_run/ And of course if you start a thread on /co/ regarding the subject, most people there will tell you it sucks.

I have a more obsessive personality so if I pick something up...I pick it up and try to watch it till the end even if I am hate watching/reading it (I do/did it with He-Man Revelations and RWBY for instance). I still hold out hope that the series will feel like it has weight again instead of its current feel. I am not sure how much longer I will keep spending money on it...but I will definitely be spending more on the Last Ronin. |

A few months ago I posted the one hundredth page of my Fancomic and got no replies whatsoever.
I actually voiced a gentle request to have some replies, the only one I got was telling me "People are too busy complaining about the IDW comic run to care." This thread shows that that reply was spot on, well I'm very close to getting the 200'th page.

That Reddit thread is actually quite civilized compared to the usual discourse on here but again it seems to be minority of the overall readership and 4chan is a 24/7 dumpster fire so I wouldn't consider anything on there to be reputable. |

I'm sure the original plan was, hey, Sophie, fill in while Tom works on Last Ronin for 3-4 months. But around this time IDW CEOs changed and... I think general directions and "goals" changed with it at the top level, maybe on a couple different levels. We may never know what really went on or is going on. There isn't enough data, though, really. It would have been interesting to see what would have happened if "Last Ronin" had sold poorly. Their next move(s) after that would have told the story.

I never said that, but it's rewarding to get at least some comments than none at all. And I'm not the only fan artist that feels that way.

To be fair I wasn't aware you were posting a fan-comic anywhere, if you could provide a link I'll gladly take a look.

Good god, I havn't really kept up with it since issue 100.
Mutant Town is an interesting area to take things too...but this is not one of those areas.. interest in this series has dropped off to near nill, and not because of the pandemic.

The sales figures disagree, in fact they pretty clearly show that the opposite is in fact true.

You should look up the episode "Lone rat and cubs" which was written by Kevin Eastman himself to get a good insight to what the series is like.
