Return to the Sewers: Comparing the Mirage and IDW TMNT
I really like the new story but have always loved the original Mirage comics. I am writting comparison pieces where I will show similarities between the two versions of the Turtles. My first one will be out very soon. It will be posted to http://crossovercomics.ca along with the rest of my reviews. I am a guest writer for this blog which has not really covered TMNT. I will be giving the Turtles the love they need on this site. Please stay tuned.
EDIT: My first comparison piece is up at http://www.crossovercomics.ca/frontp...-and-new-tmnt/ comparing the original Mirage series to the new IDW series. I will be comparing the two timelines after each TPB is released. Enjoy! Spoiler:

I know. They are not rewriting the story exactly, but the are influenced by it. It is really neat to have that déjà-vu feeling and have the story be different.

Nagi is the older of the Oroku brothers, not Saki.

Thank you for noting that typo. It was also brought up in the comments of the review. I had the names inverted in my first draft and did not change that word when I rewrote the sentence.

Nice job, but the annual should definitely have been compared to Eastman's solo stuff like Unmentionables or Bodycount. Or even his team-up with Mark Bode. It is way off from the tone or goals of City At War, in my opinion.

Thank you Matches for the feedback. I know what you mean. I went this way because:
1) I am trying to compare the Mirage issues to IDW (even though IDW is not making it easy by drawing from the Fred Wolf/Archie stuff). 2) I am also trying to reference some of the reprints IDW is doing and they have not announced anything about those issues (I know I already broke this rule on the Gang Wars review, but those have so many fans behind them, it's only a matter of time). 3) You're not wrong. I had a lot of difficulty drawing parallels between the two and thus did not go into as much detail as I was planning when the issue was first announced. We will see where the Secret History of the Foot Clan takes us. I might compare it to the second half of City at War which should be released around the same time. I am really excited for that mini-series!
