Doesn't account, of course, for the real life stuff we know happened. Like the big flood at Mirage that all but shuttered them at the end of Vol. 2.

Yeah, there isn't much to disagree with here. Proclamations that TMNT wouldn't stick around for very long without FW are pretty silly, usually just comes from David Wise and people insecure about the quality of their childhood obsessions.
