Character Spotlight: Burne Thompson

The current run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics by IDW is trying to more or less be the definitive TMNT story by synthesizing all the Ninja Turtles media that came before it. As such, that means it has had a ton of canon immigrants and will continue to have many more.

This week: Burne Thompson!


Burne debuted in the first episode of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series, aka "Turtles Tracks" (1987), where he was the editor of Channel 6 News. In other words, he was April's boss, and often provided sort of a J. Jonah Jameson-type role.

He made his comics debut in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #78 (January 2017), although the comics version is just a reporter instead of the editor.
