Ultimate Visual History

I just got the book in the mail -- I was really shocked by how much value they stuffed into this book.

What did everyone else think of it?

I wrote about it on my blog (along with the Turtle Power Documentary). It seemed like they both really complimented each other (especially since I found the ending of Turtle Power to be lacking)

Also - can anyone tell me, was the original comic #1, - was it smaller, or larger than regular comics? The copy they included with the book is smaller, which didn't seem to match what I remembered hearing about it, and it's original print run.

But I can't really complain, given the large amount of extras and inserts they included. Just look at how much stuff they stuck in the hardcover!!

I just finished reading the book last night (awesome book, through and through)

But what surprised me was that they say, flat out, Shredder was suppose to be Eric Sacks. They obviously changed things, after the book was finished. Even the page of script, thats included, is completely different from the movie in theaters.

They didn't mention the aliens gaff, though (I suppose they where ordered not to write about. Too soon; I guess) --but still, this was a fantastic sneak peek of how WRONG the movie could have been, if they hadn't decided to change things at the last second. (Granted, a lot did go wrong with the movie - but thats for another thread)
