Archie or Mirage
 

Im thinking of getting TMNT comics. Should I get the Mirage ones or Archie? Which are better? Isnt archie based off the old cartoon? And the Mirage is darker. How many comics are in the 2 series?

Archie started as a spinoff of the cartoon, but then it evolved into a WONDROUS epic of its own.... :D Its kiddish at the beginning, but it gets SO much better... :)

Archie stopped mid story #72, at "the early years" when the guys were lil and first got their weapons...! :D

Depends what you want. Archie is a childrens comic and Mirage is for young adults. Well the archie got little darker by the end of the series.

Archie or Mirage? Street Fighter the Movie or the Matrix? Fish coffee yogurt or strawberry shortcake desert? ^_^

Heh... :lol:

Get them both.

exactly, what the banana man said!

I love my archies, but there's also parts of Mirage i like, like one ofteh Turtle Soups i have....it all depends on YOUR tastes, not what other people say it is... ;)

Uh... banana man? :lol:

Hm... I like the Mirage comics the best, but the Archie ones aren't that bad...

I'd go with Archie i Love that Comic. But i've never read Mirage so..

It depend what you want. Serious Plots with action, or humoristic adventures.

And if you prefer colour over black and white :D

well, mirage vol. 2 has color, hehe

the archie series starts off very kiddie-fied, but it "matures" somewhat as the series evolved. it got more action oriented and less goofiness, while still being kid-oriented.

mirage was made more for adults, so theres more blood and seriousness, and swearing here and there throughout. i dont think there's anything in these tho that i would be freaked out by if i was a parent. its nothing worse than what they see on daytime tv, or on the news.

Yes Mirage is done with style. There is no gore and it is not overly violent.

Archie was also quite well done, as it matured...also had some VERY Mirage caliber events happen in it, IMO...like the blindsight series, and the Year of the turtle...but that my opinion... :D

*still thinks Splinter looked good in the samurai uniform :goofygri: *

hmmm
 

get both.

both comics bring something different to the table. cant hurt to have some diversity, neh?

now, your problem will be finding back issues....but im sure youll manage :)

Re: hmmm
 

Yeah, what he/she said.

BAH another me. Damn. Oh well. Uh I'd go with both, but for now, Archie. They are ALOT cheaper then the Mirage issues.

I prefer Mirage over Archie.
