Mirage Vol. 4 Issue 19 (SPOILER ALERT!)
 

I just picked up the latest issue...weird...just weird ....

I dunno what the deal is with Mikey. Ok, the chick's holding a egg case...mikey's babies? That's what i might seem. I think she's framing his butt to get in major trouble, I think she did it with a triceraton but to save his rear, she'll say they're mikey's. I dunno..we'll see. His story's becoming more interesting to me.

And RAPH SPEAKS.

What do you think happened to Leatherhead?

Well Raph knows he fought Leatherhead over food...I'm ure the old croc is fine. He's a tough ol guy...

how bad off is raphie, one raph fan to another....

So I take it the issue is out now? Awesome!

I'm gonna pick it up next week at my local comicshop. I'm getting curious now :D

Btw, greast that the forum is back. I really started to miss my daily reading and discussing. It's good to be back and I hope everyone had a great X-mas!!!

he's calm and collected now, he talking to Hunicutt and it just drops off after Hunicutt's suggestion of writing an apology note to the hospital for busting it up. Raph feels really bad about it all.
Hopefully next issue he'll be back there getting help....

This thread reminds me that I haven't picked up any TMNT books in months.

Shame on you. :P

So is he still dinosaur-looking or does he revert back to his former self during the issue? Is his vision of Splinter a factor and does it come back?

one of those things about vol 4 i don't like, Vampire Dino Raph.

He's still that half Gamera half Carnosaur looking thing. I think this whole even is totally wacked out....

I sometimes wish I had the rights to the TMNT...Raph would have turned out totally different. ;)

*sigh* I haven't even gotten 18. I refuse to buy from the comic shop in town. The owner does NOT diserve the money... so my only option is to get them in Omaha, an hour away.

I know the feeling, Comic Gallery is over an hr away! We have a shop few min north of here, the dude keeps telling me the distributor never gives him TMNT when he orders it...so why does the Gallery get it but he doesnt? ugh

so I've decided of making a bi-monthly trip south for TMNT

I'm more excited about the bit with Casey. Hope to see him put on the mask and bust some heads.

Mike having kids with Regina could be...interesting. I guess it's the next logical step of character progression now that they've all grown up. But they just met and all, would've been nicer if it was with a girl he'd been dating for mare than...an afternoon.

I dunno, something tells me things won't work out that easily. What with the preview of next issue's cover having Mike getting kicked int he face by a cranky Triceraton.

Overall the book is still moving a little too slow for my tastes but at least we've finally had a little more progression that usual.

This is part that's giving me the hint that Mike's being framed and this styracoton (the pic in the back of the issue shows a styracoton, like what Regenta is) foot is attached to the egg's real dad.

Seems like a soap opera to me. Why would they do a Maury Povich moment (who's my daddy!) with Mikey/the Regenta/and the Triceraton?

Jerry!

Jerry!

Jerry!

picked up #19 and #17 (an issue I missed) the other day... and 19 has me really interested. I think it's mostly because of Casey picking up the mask, but I think Don's story is getting better too. Not really interested in Mike's story, but Raph talking was a definite surprise. Issue 22 sounds interesting..no Turtles.

Just what species is the Regenta anyway? I had always assumed she was a Styracodon. But Laird says in the letters pages that shes not, just that her bodyguards are. So I really have to wonder how that's going to play in to the whole thing with Mikey...

Someone lemme know when Raph turns back to normal.
