How is financial compensation distributed among all the talent that contribute to making a comic book? What are some ranges? I hope money is not a weird subject to bring up. I am very curious about the business. |

No problem to discuss. We very rarely pay rates on creator owned, you'd have to be a major name in the industry with a proven track record and fan base.
The normal deal is a cut of the profits after expenses. (What the exact percentage is varies from project to project.) That's what my creator owned was. It took two years for me to recoop the money I paid to the artist. I think i've probably made about $800 profit on the book. |

What is the page rate stuff I hear about? Does IDW do that? Is it for artist only or do writers have a page rate?

Well, creatives are paid page rates on work for hire... like the creative team on TMNT gets a certain amount of money per page of work they do.
In terms of creator owned projects, sometimes page rates are included, but not always. Sometimes a page rate is introduced after a series is successful, in addition to the cut of the back end. It depends on the publisher and the type of deal that is reached between said publisher and the creative team. Generally speaking, every deal is different. |

Hey Bobby, any chance of the turtles traveling outside of NYC for a long period of time, maybe traveling the world, like in Archie?

There's a possibility, yes. It's actually something we've discussed recently, though I don't the road to 100 is going to allow time for it. Some things are still in works though, so maybe!

Just having fun here, but if it were completely up to you and you had to make your picks right now, where in the world would you like to take the Turtles in a story like that? Me, I think I'd go with Brazil, France, Egypt, Japan and Australia for a nice blend of cultures and potentially fun environments to explore.

Mongolia might have to be a big one too. With Pepperoni in tow of course. Maybe a few of the Utroms stationed there during the dinosaur era. "Oh hey, I wondered where that bit of machinery went."

Reads like a small arc starting in TMNT# 101 by Bobby Curnow to me.

Portugal is somehow always incredibly misrepresented in American media (the recent portrayal in the MacGyver reboot comes to mind... ugh) but that could change in the near future, partly due to the very reasons you brought up! According to urban legends, Splinter at least (or the Rat King!) should feel right at home in the tunnels beneath the Mafra Palace... |

So I went on Wikipedia to look for that Portugal episode (7x06 Ring of Fire), and I saw "Lisbon" followed shortly after by "the annual running of the bulls"... Yeah. No. Sorry. The misrepresentation curse continues.

But.. Portugal does have running of the bull festivals. The town of Moitia, just 20 miles south of Lisbon, is known to have a running of the bulls festival.

Yeah that's the one, and yes, they did somethings really badly, for example the city of Lisbon looks more like some spanish city or something like that, and the running of the bulls does indeed look out of place in the city, but the Bull arena in Campo Pequeno looks spot on, and there's the beach in Estoril and April's fun pronunciation of it. All in all it's a really weak episode but it's still awesome non the less that they came here at least once

It was said before that 2018 won't see as many TMNT comics published as 2017, as there won't be another 5-week event like Dimension X, or the upcoming Ghostbusters crossover, or the free comic book day issue, Usagi crossover, double-sized issue 75, or the Nick animated comics which finished their run in 2017 with Robotanimals.
Aside from the second Batman crossover, can we just expect the main ongoing and Universe next year, bar maybe a surprise here or there? Is Universe expected to run through all of 2018? |
