I don't mind time travel aslong as its pulled of well and has an actual story to it that influences the present (or future), so far this time travelling to the past in the Mirage comics seems pointless since nothing even happened, if i skipped that chapter i wouldn't have missed a thing ![]() For example i liked the Archie time travelling since it made more sense and wasn't forgotten in one chapter and you could see small things still coming back in chapters. And that is what i meant with filler; chapters that don't influence the story one bit, and is forgotten the next chapter. I like the Mirage comics, but some issues are way to random, messy and make no sense... I guess it all comes down to honesty (me) and blind nostaligia (most people here) ![]() Last edited by Mexiun; 05-09-2017 at 11:45 AM. |

The actual story chapters with Shredder, Bloodsucker and Northhampton feel amazing and wish the whole Mirage comics were like that without silly side-characters and forgetable stories... |

I think we all wish that Eastman and Laird could have helmed the whole volume. Of course, if they did that, the they'd have to steal focus from running the juggernaut that was the TMNT in the late 80's/early 90's. Who knows how that would have changed things. Like many said, Volume 1 is a mixed bag. It's best not to label it as a whole, rather break it out into individual stories. |

Renet, Savanti Romero, Rat King, Radical, and several others all seem like random cameos when they are first introduced and end up having a big impact on the Turtles later on. |

![]() Reading the "filler" chapters feel like a chore to me and i only read them because its a digit following from the last chapter with TMNT in the title. However i did enjoy the Kirby chapter, it was a fun chapter with a pretty sad ending, however i already knew how it would end since the 2003's TMNT did a full episode about this ![]() How is Vol.2 and Vol.4 though? Random like Vol.1? |

A bit like "City at War," but with not a lot of action. Decompressed storytelling, no story arcs, per se.

http://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2010/...-timeline.html It helped me a lot when I got into the Mirage comics. And it's also worth checking out the reviews including the "turtle tips" pointing out if a certain character will reappear (time travel girl aka Renet will reappear and even will be of relevance!).

No, they aren't random in future volumes. Volume 2 and 4 don't have guest issues like volume 1 has. You'll get a logical progression of the story if you read them in order.
