Early IDW TMNT stories are still the best, I mean before City Fall arc. At that time, the three turtles can beat horde of thugs and Old Hob. They even beat Shredder and Karai in the first war against Foot. If it wasn't for "killing is bad", they would have killed both of them, for revenge.

I wonder why besides Tom Waltz and Sophie, does IDW have no other writers? It seems once Tom is done Sophie comes back in, and they still co-wrote a lot of the Armaggedon game too.

I don't believe Tom Waltz's Roninverse series can saved IDW.

The new Last Ronin issue just boring.

It felt like the whole purpose of this issue was just to clarify why Mikey had no pupils in the first series. He goes blind and lives with some villagers for a couple months, does a bunch of "Daredevil training" and then he gets tased, and poof, now he can see again.

Honestly, the blind thing could've been cool. But then Waltz undo it at the end. It's like he can't make up his minds. He always does same mistakes in the main books.

Now hes just adding on to SEGAs flimsy lore, so its not as good, and when he had to be wholly original it falls flat.

True, but I'd say that means she has more of a chance considering how references to satam/archie are just banned. Wouldn't count on it too much though given how flippant Sega is, seeing her actually appear in something would confirm some things.

There may be something with Fleetway but it could be easily fixed if Sega cared. OVA only has distribution rights issues. They still own all the characters and story and can use them if they wanted.

Which is weird why Sticks got a reference
>also sticks hasn’t appeared in any sonic media in years as far as I know outside of getting a single line in frontiers
True, but I'd say that means she has more of a chance considering how references to satam/archie are just banned. Wouldn't count on it too much though given how flippant Sega is, seeing her actually appear in something would confirm some things.

>>136928275

Because that shit eater Ian Flynn did the script of Sonic Frontiers and his gimmick has always been hey everybody you remember this old reference and easter egg! Yay references. Look at all the details Fat Man Flynn knows about the Sonic franchise REFERENCES REFERENCES REFERENCES where the real story is cemented. But seriously the man is proud of basically saying references overtake an entire story. So that's why Sticks and Tangle got mentioned.

And another thing I hope Flynn somehow has a major falling out with Sega. I don't want mister REFERENCES!!! to get promoted to anything or get hired for more work on Sonic. I hate him and his spamming references bullshit. He's a burned out old hack who never cut it as a writer so he clings to Sonic because he has no choice and his method of staying relevant within the Sonic fandom is the reference and easter egg spamming enough said. To hell with him.

Anything outside of sharing a copyright with a large company like a Nintendo or Disney is easy to work with if you know who has it and give them enough money. Sega can get the rights. They just don't want to. They've done nothing but disregard old stuff and chase new trends. Meanwhile IPs and rights shuffle around companies all the time with ease. Sega's just lazy and cheap.

no Im pretty sure they were there at the same time, ian started with some of the b story stuff and started getting main story stuff. Sega was shaking things up at Archie after Sonic06 and the sonic crying cover, they were gonna give penders less stuff to work on, he demanded to officially be called the head writer or he would quit, and they basically told him not to let the door hit him on the way out.

His "refererencesreferencesreferences" shit really is a double-edged sword. It came in handy when he was worldbuilding in the Archie Reboot, but he made the classic fantasy author mistake of front-loading all the worldbuilding so that it slowed the adventure down to a fucking crawl.

Seriously, we don't need to read about the fucking undersea characters.

>IDW Media Holdings, Inc., the company best known at Bleeding Cool for the IDW Publishing comic book line and IDW Entertainment , today announced a series of major cuts and changes which they cite "in response to operational challenges to position the Company for recovery and future growth." Amongst other actions, that means "cutting approximately 39% of its current workforce." Bleeding Cool understands that IDW has just finished holding an all-hands meeting to give the bad news. Unless you are one of the Jonas family who currently own much of the media publisher.

>IDW states that "the reduction in force and other steps, after the effect of backfilling certain positions, is expected to deliver approximately $4.4 million in annual savings (and potentially greater savings in future periods) and is currently expected to result in approximately $0.9 million in severance and related costs to be recognized in the current period. Before giving effect to any payments of severance or related costs, the Company expects to hold approximately $5.7 million cash and cash equivalents as of April 28,2023."
>As for delisting IDW from the stock market, "The Company has determined to voluntarily delist from the NYSE American exchange and to deregister its Class B common stock under Section 12(b) and Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Company has notified NYSE American of its intent to delist its securities from NYSE American, anticipates that it will shortly file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a Form 25 relating to the delisting and deregistration of its securities, and anticipates that the delisting and deregistration under Section 12(b) of its Class B common stock will become effective on or about May 18, 2023. Following the delisting of its securities from NYSE American, the Company plans to file with the SEC a Form 15 to deregister its securities under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Board determined that deregistration is in the overall best interests of the Company and its stockholders following review and careful consideration of a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the expected reduction in operating expenses associated with continued listing and reporting, which would allow the Company to focus more resources on its recovery and growth plans."

>With the anticipated deregistration and delisting, IDW has stated that they determined that "Brooke Feinstein's services as Chief Financial Officer were no longer essential and she will be departing the Company. The principal financial position will be filled by existing internal resources."
>"We appreciate Allan's industry experience and efforts on IDW's behalf during the last eight months as CEO and for over three years prior to that as a member of the Board and Chairman of the Audit Committee," added Howard Jonas, IDW's Chairman. However, with the need to make pivotal changes to preserve value and transform the Company, the Board felt that a new CEO with new ideas, a tireless work ethic, willingness to roll up his sleeves and do whatever is needed to help the Company, with a successful record at creating a corporate culture of excellence and maximizing stockholder value, was what IDW needed. Brooke has been a key member of management for over 4.5 years, serving well in different capacities."
>Amber Huerta, who serves as the Senior Vice President, People and Organizational Development of IDW, has been promoted to Chief Operating Officer, which IDW states is "reflecting the much broader role she plays across several operational disciplines." IDW states that they are finalizing separation arrangements with Grafman and Feinstein.
