And we’ve also got some brand new uncolored art from Nightwatcher #1.
How does it feel to be creating a brand new title as part of IDW’s big TMNT relaunch?
Juni Ba:Its daunting!
Every issue is going to explore some more of that world through the adventures of this new folk hero.
At first, when they offered it to me, I immediately accepted it with excitement.
What clues can you give us about which Turtle is under the mask?
Is this incarnation of Nightwatcher connected to any of the past versions?
Ba:I cant say anything lest the Nickelodeon hitmen come after me.
And I hope its looked at that way.
On that note, how does Nightwatcher tie in to the other titles in the new TMNT line?
Do the rest of the Turtles know that one of them has a secret identity?
There have been talks of connections, though!
What went into the design of the new Nightwatcher costume?
What’s it like designing a convincing superhero costume for a Turtle, rather than for a human?
Some new elements came in that are story related so I cant say much for now.
And little by little the final idea that we will see in the comic grew and took shape.
What makes that such an important and poignant theme for the Turtles right now?
In fact, being so vulnerable makes them easy targets for the corrupt and the opportunists.
And I think it was time to look back and remember who they do things for.
Juni, you’re a visual artist yourself.
How does that play into the working relationship the two of you are developing on this title?
Im a visual storyteller and so its tempting to over-detail the image description.
Its a special pleasure seeing the pages coming afterwards.
Fero has a great sense of both cartooning and atmosphere and Im trying to lean into that.
Fero, how does it feel focusing on just one Turtle rather than all four?
How does that consideration play into your visual storytelling?
feels good in a certain way, hahaha.
But also, there are times when I miss drawing them all together.
What do you want fans to know about Nightwatcher going into the first issue?
Ba:I would say go at it as a fresh thing!
Pe:There will be a lot of action and street fighting.
