>Ever since the introduction of the "Mutant Town" concept, the TMNT books from IDW have gone downhill dramatically. No longer really starring the Turtles, the books has become slice-of-life stories with little action and fewer stakes. The storyline has continued for over 2 years, leaving a huge damper on what was once a must-read series. Here's how what could've been an interesting concept instead took the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out of the limelight of their own series.
>As mentioned, the Ninja Turtles took quite a while to get back together after Mutant Town became a thing, with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic books post-issue #100 being far more interested in everyone and everything else. Mona Lisa and Alopex took center stage, along with the "fifth" Ninja Turtle -- a formerly human female turtle named Jennika. That character's role as a new turtle was somewhat forced as is, as she had no real connection to the TMNT or Master Splinter. Putting her and several other characters under the spotlight at the expense of the protagonists was insanely unwise, especially given the tone that the series began going for. Whereas action and adventure had once been the focus, the Mutant Town issues have honed in on relationship drama, slice-of-life stories and, strangely enough, a battle of the bands.
They said while posting an issue thats not from Mutant Town. Good journalism.

Post-100 added a DeviantArt self-insert OC.
Andrew Gonzalez
Nobody should be surprised since it's being written by a troon.
Jason Wright
I thought “The Last Ronin” was a success?
Cooper Thomas
Funny how they left out that the book is selling better than it did before #100.
Nicholas Phillips
Thats an Elseworlds.

Lefty hacks don't care what they're handed on a platter to run; they'll turn anything into boring SoL pap filled with lectures and propaganda. Similar types turns Transformers of all things into tranny shit.
Nathaniel Fisher
That's its own miniseries.
Jason Davis

Sophie Campbell use to be Ross Campbell, created the indie series Wet Moon and fetishized lesbians in all their comics before they trooned-out.

Makes sense for him. >MRI scans indicate that MtF transsexuals are either men aroused by the thought of possessing female genitalia or homosexuals who want to seduce straight men. Source: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3180619/
Yeah, they're bleeding money and putting all their hopes in getting a creator owned hit
Dude, it was a band-aid over a gaping flesh wound Over reliance on any licenseshit is gonna bite you in the ass eventually
Brayden Peterson
She fucked off because if she actually joined the family that would distract from this shitty 5 Turtles/5 elements/ninja magic storyline
Jose Stewart
Eh, still doing good right now. People have been saying IDW is about to die for what, 5? 6 years?
Lincoln Rivera
Think Boco If IDW is doing fine, why are they changing their entire identity and focus as a company? Why haven't they acquired new licenses and are letting Transformers, GI Joe, Ghostbusters, etc just slip away?
Bentley King
Well, TF and GI Joe are because whoever got them made a pitch that Hasbro "loved", so it wasn't entirely a money thing.
