Hey, I was scurtinizing Volume #1, Issue #1 when I noticed something cool.
A fully stocked book-shelf! :)

You can't see it on the official site's Issue #1 scans, so here's the panel.

And here's the bookshelf...

I figured we could discuss Splinter's choices of reading material :D

Pretty cool. I never noticed the books had actual titles. Most comics don't bother unless it's centrical to the plot.

Yeah that one is great. Interesting find. Interesting what Splinter reads. THE NINJA! :| And he is into art history. There had to be some sort of art history book from where he named the turtles.

After seeing that, I just had to look at my copy of the first issue! Even when you're looking at the page itself, it's kinda hard to read those book titles. That's probably why I never noticed before.

Are any more titles shown in the first scene of the second issue?

*doesn't want to go through my large boxes to look for my TPBs* (stupid non-existing own room, where I can keep my stuff on shelves...)

Woah... I've never noticed those books before. I don't usually pay attention to details like that. Pretty cool find, Tetsu! I like the "Care/Turtle" book title, too. Funny stuff. :lol:
