Laird Interview #3...

[Neil Vitale]

14)Killing off characters. In the new comic, one character is going  to die. I know you won't devulge who, but killing off a character is a  big decision. In some universes like Thundercats, they can return as Ghosts.                              In Star Wars as well. And in Star Trek, no one is ever really dead. But  in TMNT, it seems to be permanent. No Sherdder returning in the Mriage  line. Have you ever regretted killing off any character in the Mirage  line, and later wish you hadn't done so? </b></p> <p> No... although I've never killed off as significant a character as the  one who dies in issue #10.</p>       Just in case anyone wants an early look,   www.ninjaturtlesnetwork.com/interviews/interv019.htm
