Let us read every TMNT comic ever made. This is going to be a long one. This is the reading order I am using.https://eliasrwrites.ghost.io/tag/so-you-want-to-read-tmnt/Previous thread >>153883724
>>153904181Who the hell is this guy?
>>153904267The Russian from City At War.
I need to restart my PC.
>>153904415Oh, I know that. I'm saying "who the hell is this guy?" as in, I don't remember his whole deal from the last time I read these, but he's clearly some kind of serious badass.
Well, that was annoying.
Boco really sucks
End of the original Mirage era. Tomorrow we begin Image.
Boco sucks
These issues were released around the time the cartoon was doing the red sky seasons, right?
Man, I am not a fan of Eastman's solo vision of what TMNT should be.>>153907352Bodycount came out during the final season of the show.
>>153907297Original B&W or Color?
>>153905414>oxygen reservesWhoops, a blunder worse than the coloring. I guess they forgot Triceratons don't breathe oxygen.
>>153905527Damn, RIPI didn't expect him to just die like a chump
>>153906273Wait, why did she help Casey slaughter the lobster people?
>>153906412Here we go
>>153906142lol! Excellent punnery, Casey!
Did Casey only say "goongala" once so far? That was a catchphrase for him in the 2K3 cartoon.
>>153909388They stole her baby. I don't know if she wanted to keep the thing from being eaten, or if she wanted to serve him up herself and those guys just butted in because they wanted their curse lifted, but either way, she was unhappy with them having the royal roe. Also I'm not sure she thought Casey would be able to do much of anything, and if he died like a foolish lone human, at least she would get to be present for the big event.
>>153906401>ow.okay, now that is funny
>>153906412AAAHHHHHH EXTREEEEEEME!

>>153909822I thought it was three times?
>>153907297>Tomorrow we begin Image.Prepare your anus, anons! I love the Image run, because it's wild and crazy, but it's very 90s edgy. Also the art is absolute shit in places, but I don't think you can blame the artist -- from what I read, there were problems at various levels and they would frequently hand him things right before the deadline and expect him to crank finished pages out at inhuman speeds, which meant scribbling frantically to catch up.
>>153906489What kind of car is this?
>>153910908I don't recognize it, might be a concept car, a custom job, or just a product of Simon Bisley's imagination
>>153910908Chinese.
>>153906821>Death CigarettesThey're not screwing around with the "smoking kills" labels here do they
>>153906913For a comic about mostly shooting guns they are really badly drawn.
>>153911039That's just Simon Bisley. He's like Richard Corben via Salvador Dali. He can mimic a Frank-Frazetta-style realism pretty well if he wants, but he intentionally warps things to make them surreal.
>>153904605>He brainwashed Casey into Arnold SchwarzeneggerDear god!
>>153911039Oh you mean the GUNS. Yeah, he's a britbong, lol
>>153911201Not quite kek.
>>153905666Oh god, it's seven hour war all over again!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3UiKY_e3qDQ
Raph use guns is the best.
>>15390712390s silliness in all its glory.
>>153909388Because.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9mVfv3b-4E
>>153906771A Suitcase full of pistols and money eh?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyH_NxJ86vs
That Simon Bisley story is so good. It’s all action, but it’s got this artistic vibe to it, and even though it’s kind of a watered-down version of *Heavy Metal*, it really delivers. Especially since he went easy on the tracing and went for a more abstract style. It’s just really good. I don’t know what’s controversial about it. They just want boring stories.
>>153904267He's supposed to be Jim Lawson's homage to Doc Savage (it's why his name is "Braunze", Doc Savage is usually nicknamed "Man of Bronze"). If you know Doc Savage stuff the comparisons get way more obvious when you read Tales of the TMNT #49.
>>153903866mirage tmnt was based
>>153916807>his name is "Braunze",Wait, did his name change from City at War? Because I thought his last name was in some eastern european language
>>153911888Yeah, I miss those times too.
>>153909147Yeah and thanks to that one guys mind control powers they won't even remember he died there.Pretty shitty end for him if you ask me.
