In this special episode of RCTCT, Suine and Ryan are joined by writer Erik Burnham!Erik Burnham is a frequent writer on the one-shots and mini-series that accompany IDW’s main, ongoing TMNT series. Erik wrote the one-shots for Splinter and Baxter Stockman, collaborated with writer and artist Mateus Santolouco on The Secret History of the Foot Clan mini-series and wrote the Free Comic Book Day issue of the New Animated Adventures.
