Gilgameshkun: I'm in the minority. I'm skpetical of Jennika. As for Artemisia, well... I don't know anything about that character aside from her being a fanon character by someone who just happens to work on the comics. As for Venus, well, I believe she can be redeemed in the right hands-- although I will say that while I am for a fifth and female Turtle, be it Venus or Jennika, I would not want to see them be officially inducted into Clan Hamato as far as the IDW continuity is concerned. In the case of Jennika, I think she would do better with remaining with the Foot, or joining Angel and Alopex's team.

As far as her appearing on other media outside of the comics... I'm happy with the brothers being four and only four. But if she has to appear, she should have a role similar to Slash-- a loosely affiliated ally that appears sporadically when the brothers need some extra help but not really an official member of the team.

I'm not sure what IDW has in mind but I'm just gonna wait and see if this character grows on me... If not, well... There's always the Image run and the Mirage continuity for me.

Unfortunately... Mirage seems to be slowly progressing on, if not outright almost entirely abandoned and the Image run is going to have a conclusion but is either a separate universe from the Mirage continuity in the multiverse or entirely removed from canon... I've yet to hear from either Frank Fosco or Gary Carlson regarding it's placement in the TMNT Multiverse but Frank has confirmed to me via Facebook that he's not sure how that's gonna workout.
