2 toes? Or 3? The world must know!!

Thanks for the response and insight, Tom!

Thanks, Sophie! Our mutual friend is one of those artists who got a 100 cover, so I totally appreciate your (and his) perspective on it. You rock! Keep up the amazing work!

First, so many thanks to Tom for bringing this series to my kids and I. We’re bonding over one of my childhood loves, and you helped make that happen! Your writing arc was phenomenal!

Second, thank you to Sophie for your incredible contributions! Absolutely love your art (have a tattoo by you already!), and can’t wait to see what direction you take the team.

Now, a question for either/both of you...what is your professional take on what many of us consider the “variant craze” that has been happening with comics in general lately. TMNT was hit hard, especially with issues 95-100. As a fan who has collected the books since the early Mirage era, it felt like a slap to the face to learn that I’d have to buy over 30 books for a single issue just to consider the collection “complete”, not to mention the artificial rarity that some retailers tried to force by destroying printer copies and sharply increasing the price for the supposed “limited amount” left.

I know neither of you are responsible for that in any way, but I was wondering what that feels like, as a creator, to see happening with what you’ve done.

Side question for Tom - when you initially started the writing process for the turtles and were brought on, how far into your arc did you already have mapped out? When did the story start to create itself, or did it at all?

Thanks again to you both!!!
