TMNT Roundtable Interview: City Fall Aftermath

After close to 8 months, the biggest arc in IDW TMNT history has come to an end. There were ups and downs but the overall consensus is that City Fall was a smash hit. Before jumping into the next story arc, Northampton, where the Turtles will be resting and regrouping, let's take a moment to digest what we have just experienced and break down this monumental event.

Interview with Dan Duncan, Former Artist of IDW’s TMNT

IDW Publishing’s new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series has been firing on all cylinders and is a must read for any Turtles fan. Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman are doing a great job of drawing from every Turtles universe to develop a rich, new timeline. One of the key elements to their early success was the amazing art that accompanied their work. Despite the amount of work he had on his plate at the time, Dan managed to pull it off and outdo himself. I recently had the opportunity to ask Dan Duncan, the artist on first 12 issues of the ongoing, some questions about his experience.
