As I stated in the article, I think it’s a safe move by the franchise. They’re in good hands and I’m looking forward to further developments!

Oh, and Billy, that guy with the mask is Casey Jones!

@speech-I think an animated/cg. I’m not a big turtle fan as far as the live action stuff. I thought the animated show was decent though. What was that guy’s name in the hockey mask. lol

TMNT have not been the same since I was a kid. Thanks to the Soccer moms of america and the FCC believing they can shield their children form violence made my favorite ninjas become G-rated when even when I was a kid though it could have more. I mean its in the movies and in the real world maybe that one of the reasons I like anime and manga over western comics and cartoons because they have the blood and profanity that I love. But nothing changes the TMNT will never be the same until we allow the main stream to become a little more egdy

I’m a long time turtle fan, and It’s a tragedy to see the most commercially successful independent comic of all time get consumed by a faceless corporate entity.

Great scoop Andy! This is huge comic book news! I re-posted the link to this article on my facebook, myspace, and twitter.

Why a disaster billy? the first movie was a great step in live action and they pulled it off well. effects wise the movie should look good i’m more concerned about the story. i’m more excited about the acquisition because it seems like Nick wants to go foward w/ the franchise!
