Then the new turtle show began which showed a more cooler and interesting side to the turtles which gave me the same enjoyment for the turtles I had when I was a child. I then began looking up stuff about the turtles and was amazed to find out they began as a comic. I probaly wont be able to get these comics so I thank you for going through them and giving me an insight to the world of the turtles.

The whole origin story was just kind of crammed in there. It would have been much better to spread it out over a few issues or something. Now, obviously, since they weren't sure if there'd even be a next issue, they weren't thinking that way, but, well, it could have been handled better.

When did I say it was bad? It just wasn't what you'd expect from an issue meant to set the stage for a series to follow. What is was, was a wicked little bit of weirdness with great art and character designs. And what do you mean "how did that work?" How'd he die? He done blowed himself up. Or do you mean "does he ever come back?" For that, yes, you'll have to keep reading. Okay, all right. Yes, he comes back. <strong><em>Sorta.</em></strong> Bad? When did I say it was bad?

Okay, all right. Yes, he comes back.

Sorta.

I just thought it was funny that they had a Ninja Turtle specific admonition. Oh, and yeah -- that issue was pretty bad. And Shredder dying at the end . . . how did that work? One of those, keep reading and I'll find out sort of things? No worries. I just thought it was funny that they had a Ninja Turtle specific admonition.

Thought that might happen (not a huge deal though, it was just a slightly-bigger version of that same pic). Colour it fixed. Curses.
