Would you like to see villains debut in the micros to speed up the narrative?

*CyberCubed* · 04-20-2012, 10:28 AM

As we know the main series is taking a slow burn approach, where we're just now starting to see the likes of Shredder and the Foot, as well as the progression of the Krang/Baxter/Rock Soldier war.

As we've seen Alopex debut in Raph's micro, do you think future micros should debut the villains?

I gather if we wait until the main series gets there, its going to take forever to see Leatherhead or Rat King debut. Meanwhile if they debut in the micros, we get to see the other secondary villains/characters early while the main series focuses on Shredder/Krang.

It'd also be a homage to Mirage, as Rat King and Leatherhead debuted in Tales of the TMNT outside of the main volume.

That might be very interesting to see.

This would honestly be perfect.

There are two potential problems with that. First of all not everyone that gets the ongoing gets the one shot series. I am getting the oneshots in trade(already preordered) while getting the ongoing. So it might confuse some readers. Another problem with that is there are enough already in play. I would like to see the Baxter Stockman/Krang storyline played out first and there is Shredder's story as well. Old Hob is in play and we don't know Apolex's alligence just yet. The only ones that would make sense this early is Bebop and Rocksteady who were teased in Raphael's one shot. Anyone else should wait until #13 at the earliest. I would like to see Agent Bishop thrown into the mix with Krang and Baxter and perhaps General Blanque as the Nuetrinos dicator plus the empty cages BUT let's wait on all that! Bebop and Rocksteady yeah,but wait on the rest.

Eh, it's not a bad idea by any means but I really like that they're being used to explore character traits & stuff. We need to establish our boys first.

Only if they were as well done as the Raphael micro was. I'm still waiting for a return of Alopex!

*CyberCubed* · 04-20-2012, 10:48 PM

Yeah the thing is the main volume is dominated by Shredder, Krang, Baxter and Old Hob and everyone associated with them. Getting to see the secondary villains will probably take some time.

If we get to see them in micros or one-shots, we can see them inbetween the main villains.

If the likes of Rat King, Leatherhead, Hun, Slash or whoever are going to appear, I'd rather it happen inbetween the major arcs.

I would love to see this happen. I can think of 10 off the top of my head I'd love to see.

Top 5:
Shredder
Krang
Mr Null (bring him to IDW please!!)
Rat King
Leatherhead

I thought they were already established. How could they be established any further?
