Why are they even recoloring already-colored images in the first place? Do they just not want to pay the original colorists?

I 'unno but what it ends up with is

really glad the Ultimate Collections in black and white exists, imagine if those colored versions of the Vol. 1 major issues were only in color from IDW?

I would be happy if we just got the reprints with main story and guest stories together.

I think Chris Chandler's work show's promise.

Definitely. But what I'd really like to see is the old Mirage-colored issues published into a new hardcover. I love the way that looks.

What about The Works?

Maybe I could have been more clear in my wording.

What I mean is, I'd like to see the original Mirage issues collected, with the original colors done by my Mirage Studios, collected into a hardcover.

The coloring in The Works collection is done by a different studio.

You mean First Comics?

Preview for issue 004: http://www.comiclist.com/index.php/n...rban-legends-4

[AquaParade]

Thanks for sharing, Bushido.

See, something isn't quite as striking about this preview compared to the previous ones. I can't really pinpoint whether that's due to the original pencils/inks or what. Still, it looks great, but those previous issues really shine.

I wonder if it's just the sample size of pages. Perhaps other pages in the issue will pop more.

[neatoman]

Well, now I've read issue 4...

... I can't really say I expected Dragon Lord to transform into non-anthropomorphic Komodo. I mean, I suspected that he would transform into Komodo but I thought it would happen with mutagen and that he'd be the standard humanoid mutant, not without and into a regular Komodo.

Wow.

That looks fantastic. Really hope we get this in an oversized hardcover.

[neatoman]

That was... Was that intentionally funny?

"Drink the tea, I totally haven't poisoned it."
"Don't you want me dead?"
"Yes but I totally haven't poisoned the tea."
"OK then... Gah, you lied!"
"No I didn't, I just roofied you!"

The writing is pretty silly, I agree. Like many 90’s Image comics, the art is the main attraction, for me.

So clearly I cannot choose the tea in front of me.

Sales aren’t too great but it should be one of their cheaper comics to produce. Just a guess.

[wpugh2424]

Don't know why sales aren't good
It's finally in color and it's a great story.And it means I don't gotta shell out for the expensive ones I am missing from original run

Yeah, it’s really a fresh take on the TMNT and a lot of fun. Was hoping sales would be higher to show a desire for adult tmnt content. I suspect a lot of people aren’t really aware of it.
