DreamWave TMNT Issue 5
 

Since no one started this I may as well since it is supposed to be released today! Sticky this please if you can. So just discuss about the new story by dreamwave and how good it may or may not be. Just an all out discussion of DW Issue 5. I will post what I thought about it later today when I actually get the comic.

Done.

:lol: Yeah I guess I can't get the thought of the game. :lol: <WHEN I GET THE COMIC> There we go all fixed.

Well, I have heard that they are released both the comic and the game on the same day. :D

Great issue! I didn't care too muc for the story, but as always the art was amazing! The best part (IMO) was the T4 Turtlenator ad. I can't wait to see the evil turtle bot in the comic! I have a feeling it's going to be next issue because the ad shows Leo, and shows the mousers eating Leo's katanas, and in the letters section it said that issue # 6 is going to be centered around Leo. End rant.....

errr... i thought it couldve been better. no action :/

I thought the story was good had to start off with Raph wanting to be out of the shadows. And yes the art was amazing. Very nice LeSean. And yeah T4 that was great! And about the game being released on same day. My part of Canada didn't get it yet.....we get it on Thursday which is tommorow. :(

i thought the lesson behind the story was really good but pretty sad as well. i just have to say great job on the comic. it looks great.

I didn't like the story much. Pretty weak. I did like Lesean's art as usual though.

I too am very psyched for the "T4"! What an awesome add that was.

Yes, too bad...
Although i had another TMNT to keep me busy:

:sleep: Story wasn't very interesting and there was no action to speak of. Art was amazing as usual. I hope it starts to pick up.

i always like to re read comics but with dreamwave its borng. Im gonna stop if there story keeps being this crappy

The story may be weak, but atleast the artwork is good! I also liked that T4 ad. BTW, was it just me or did Splinter seem like a figment of Raph's imagination?

the story started out good then it got weak....

I finally get this, and I read it. Great art indeed!

And... I don't see why everyone is saying the story sucks. I thought
it was a funny portrayal of the "worse case scenario" as to why the
Turtles shouldn't be showing themselves to everyone on the streets.

I thought the initial conversation between the mother and the shrink
was rather funny. Or disturbing. Depending on the frame of mind you
have while reading those panels. ;]

"Long hard metal prongs? Interesting..."


:P


...nice Terminator centerfold though!

This is the 1st one I found in the UK so I bought it straight away seeing that it was all about Raph. I quite liked the story, nice example of what happens. I found it funny how Raph has an idea of what Splinter would be saying (his rationality you could say) but he still can't help himself and has to get involved. My only gripe was how the story quickly rushed through things, first there's the cat then Raph thinks the mum beats her child then she gets taken away then Raph meets the psychiatrist and then he's trying to shoot people and then Raph beats him up and all is forgotten

But overall I liked it, the artwork is fantastic and I will definitely be getting the next one

I thought the story was good, as a pseudo "what if" type of situation. Action doesn't make a comic. Great art as always as well.

actually I really liked the story. I thought that it did seem a bit rushed at first but overall I really enjoyed it. I would have liked for them to go a little more indepth to this sort of thing. I mean it can't be easy having to live in the shadows your whole life.

Yeah, the thing with the shrink was rushed, and the way he was shooting at people? from the roof was really odd, but other than that, I thought it was good. The story didn't have any loose ends or silly reasonings that go against TMNT lore.

i liked it much better than the other ones. I hope they keep it up

Whats up with all the negativety? This issue wasn't boring at all, it was really darn good! I guess people didn't like it because it didn't revolve around fighting: there's more to a good story that fighting folks!

I think this issue cointained a genius idea: a shrink who has spent his whole life telling people that strange creatures don't exist is actually confronted by a strange creature and then automatically snaps, thinking that all of the crazy people he's met were all right!

We finally see the story from a turtles point of view, Raph's. I woinder if Leo will narrarate the next ish, since they say he takes center stage in issue #6.

And of course some great writing and awesome artwork, I think this is Lesean's best work yet!

So Evil Turtlebot will be in the comic, I guess I'll just have to get his action figure now :D And who drew that T4 poster, it was frickin' awesome looking and is obviously wasn't Lesean style.

Also: SPLINTER! We hadn't seen him in this book yet, I really like how Lesean draws him.

I wanna see what Splinter looks like!!!!!! :x :D

I won't be getting it for awhile, but it sounds good to me. Can't wait!

Here ya go! I scanned them just for you. :P

:o

~*`SPARKLIES`*~

WOW... :tlove:

He looks so good! :thyper:

What are him and Raph talking about????

wow i toght the dream comic looked just like the cartoon, i want it now :cry: :cry:

I really liked this one, especially the end shot with Raph sitting there in the shadows looking bewlidered by everything that happened.

i wonder if dreamwave will go into the whole utrom, triceratons. That would be sweet

Splinter's not really there it's what Raph would imagine (or remember) him saying. It's funny when you see Splinter say 'whatever!' could just imagine that now :D

Actually, I'm wondering...

I know Raph was just imagining Splinter the first time we see him... but was he imagining him again too at the end? Splinter seeemd more 'real' there. :-?

:lol: I love that "whatever' bit...

yeah, I saw that Splinter seemed kinda cloudy in the first one, but very sharp in the second one... hmm...

yup, i think at the end it's actually Splinter, enforcing the lesson

I'm not sure if its taboo, but could someone actually post what theyre saying?

*not going to be near comic-purchasing resources til Christmas*

Splinter was real at the end.

You can't read the scans there? *tsk* j/k!

*clears thraot, squints real hard at monitor* ...no, I don't bring my comics to work... :P

Splinter: You are beginning to develop ties to the outside world. You and your brothers. But you must NEVER forget who they are... and who you are.

Raph: How could I? We're never allowed to forget... we are ninja. We hide in shadow.

Splinter: No, my son, we do not HIDE within. We live in shadow. We are of it. It nurtures and protects us, as the sunlight does the surface walkers.

Raph: But... Master Splinter, don't you ever want something else, something MORE than that?

Splinter: Of course I don't, Raphael. *next frame* That's your job.


*Splinter walks away, to let Raph think about it.*


:D

hey thanx guys! i'm glad you've enjoyed it over all! peter davids focusing on fleshing out the turtles a lot more, similar to the old series....

so expect intriging, thoughtful stories like these in the future from time to time...and the turtlenater promo...you'll just have to wait for issue #8 for that lovely arc with a special guest...and what a surprise from a speacial guest it is!

take care!

LeS-

I have to say I really liked the issue. And I do like the idea of the turtles being fleshed out. They have been 15 years old with the same personalities for well over a decade. so it will be nice to see the charcters gain depth.

I really like the insight that was given for Raphael's personality and thought process in this one. As well as the conversation between Splinter and Raphael at the end.


Of course the art was incredible as always. and I can't wait until the next issue. and issue 8.. now my curiosity is all peaked n stuff. *hehs*

Blaze DTGG

Ahh, thankies! :D

*squints* whats the top one? Where Raph's imagining Splinter...he actually says, "WhatEver"?!

i honestly can't read it.. but when I get home I can check my comics and post it if no one else has by then
