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 >>154051187
Raphael is my favorite.
>>154070850>Better to get diarrhea and dehydrate faster than to dehydrate slowerThe Brains of the operation, everybody!
End.
>>154071356This woman is also Tang Shen's sister.>>154072300>>154072310Remember Mirage Mikey is also a hotheaded.
>donnie is nothing but suffer porn>splinter murders a defenseless dog>raph loses half his face and leads the army he's supposed to despise even surprising himself>casey's father is an unhinged mob boss>casey is abusive to april>the turtles are drinking and watching adult films>retarded things happening to each turtle to make them visually distinctive>stupid and cheap fake outs everywhere>repeated plot points over and over again giving the series a weird sense of deja vu>the entire thing is over the top grim dark and edgy>it is all tied in with a borderline porn comicI haven't started Laird's stuff, but I refuse to believe it is worse than Image was. It felt like they actively hated TMNT and would have rather been making Savage Dragon.
>>154073941>>the turtles are drinking and watching adult filmsI don't see this is a problem, maybe they should go to the space and find some female alien turtles.
>>154074075It's part of the overall issue of it being needlessly edgy. The writer seems to want people to see the series as mature, but that comes from good writing and not just throwing in, so called, "adult" themes.
>>154074305It was the 90s.
>>154074341NTA, but I can't stand that people say this as if it just excuses terrible writing.
>>154072875thanks OP
>>154071251did togashi write this?
>>154074956If only they had 10% his of writing quality
Reading bump.
>>154070862The upside down text is simple, but clever.
>>154074341>>154074480Exactly. That doesn't mean it wasn't trash.
>>154070466Where did you get all your TMNT comics OP?
>>154071278The way the back shell is so big but the front carapace so narrow makes for a weird look.
>>154071756Throwing swords, a classic
>>154071808Wait, is this Utrom Shredder?
>>154077230GC and RCO for whatever was missing.
>>154071896Between the Illuminators, the Utromi guardians and the genocide of the amoeba species, just how many more dark secrets do the Utrom have? For "benevolent" advanced species they're kind of shady.The idea that Utrom could be taken over by a "Kraang Prime" in TMNT 2012 doesn't seem all that different from their Mirage counterparts.
>>154077548https://turtlepedia.fandom.com/wiki/Oroku_YoshiNo, this is Oroku Yoshi
>>154073941fuck you image was fun. definitely more entertaining than what were reading currently
>>154079228How on earth was that fun?
They like rap music, they’re unemployed, prone to violence, and they’re not human… they must be black!
OP are you gonna storytime Last Ronin too? Feel like it needs a re-read after the recent announcement.
>>154080382Yes, it is in IDW though. We have a long way to go.
>start volume four threads>it's a complete return to form with laird expanding on the lore and everyone behaving correctly>read the comments and it's nothing but weird nitpickingAlright, what the fuck?
>>154072248Ah, so Triceraton republic is like Iran in our world, sabotaged nuclear program and all.
>>154073941Soon you'll see that you're judging it too harshly.Splinter at least gets some cool moments instead of >does nothing>fucking dies
>>154079456For starters, the turtle plot lines weren't completely separate and to the point where the turtles themselves seemed like side characters. And there were fewer of them, without as many underwhelming resolutions.
>>154080907Lore is good, character behavior is good, plot is atrocious.It's not "nitpicking", it's the poor storytelling. Like the entire Mikey storyline has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the story. The "April is a magic drawing" was a pointless side quest. Splinter just died after doing nothing, when he could have been a good way to lead to Battle Nexus (like they did in the cartoon).
>>154083386>Splinter just died after doing nothing, when he could have been a good way to lead to Battle Nexus (like they did in the cartoon).It still might
>>154085315Ugh
Has TMNT done a zombie story yet? Seems easy enough to write. Maybe thats why they don't make it? Lol
>>154085408Aside from a one off incident in Archie, no.
