Kevin Eastman on the Alien Ninja Turtles Controversy

 

Over at the Boston comic con, one TMNT fan had the chance to ask Kevin Eastman, Co-creator of the Ninja Turtles franchise, about his thoughts on the Turtles being alien in the upcoming movie reboot.

Q: What are your thoughts on the turtles being aliens in the upcoming film? 

Eastman: “fans should check out issues #2-3 of the originals because there are possible hints that the turtles could be alien” 

While this is no confirmation to the fact that Turtles will be aliens in the movie, this does look like a hint that they actually are.

What do you folks think? And what quote in those issues, Eastman mentioned, hint at the turtles being Aliens.
