Bobby Curnow is the chief editor of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle comics at IDW Publishing.  He handles the ongoing IDW series, micro series and the Nickelodeon series.  Keeping these stories straight so that we can enjoy them.  As a big fan of the IDW series it was a lot of fun to sit down and talk with Bobby about his work on Ninja Turtles.  Check out this video for a fantastic interview.
