Oh, by the way, the 1987 TV series did have a negative effect on Mirage and Archie comics too. The same stigma that afflicted Palladium still afflicted the comics. Palladium was just a lot more vulnerable because tabletop RPGs are much more of a niche interest than comic books. Archie was cancelled in the early 1990s without story resolution, and Mirage volume 2 wrapped up with a very noticeable abruptness after only 13 issues. Image tried its hand at TMNT, but it didn't fare much better, lasting only a year I believe before cancellation.
