That's a very good idea. :) I hope that helps. It's a very interesting situation. And, it would be a shame for them to stop publishing (at the very least Tales of the TMNT) because their comics have become pretty edgy and consistently great.

Dan: Nick owns the TMNT property, but they do not own Mirage Studios.

year, but at this time all we plan to do is to continue publishing
“Tales of the TMNT’ up to May, 2010 (#70). Beyond that, we don’t have
any plans for publishing (outside of finishing off the Donatello mini-
series and publishing the full color reprint of TMNT #1).

That’s a very good idea. :)

I hope that helps. It’s a very interesting situation. And, it would be a shame for them to stop publishing (at the very least Tales of the TMNT) because their comics have become pretty edgy and consistently great.

Avatar is an amazing cartoon that I can watch with my son. Iron-Man Armored Adventures is one of the best looking on TV now. If they can breath fresh life into TMNT, maybe on par with the animated movie a few years ago, I will be a very happy camper!
