Mirage Vol. 4 #12 (spoilers)
 

Sticky Me!

Well looks like I get the honor of making the thread. I'll weigh in after I read it.

So what do you boys and girls think about it?


[edit by Machias: stickied! :D ]

I liked it a lot! I liked how all the turtles are starting to go their seperate ways. Very interesting!

i loved how raph was drunk when he faught the vampires

I can totally picture Raph becoming a binge drinker as a way to deal with Splinters death.

Yeah especially since all of his brothers seem to have their own things going on. Wow, those vampires sure gave him a good walloping though. Looks like he needs a few stitches for that one.

And more than likely some new blood. That was the most evil cliff hanger I've ever experianced. Damn you Mr. Laird.... damn you.

I fear for any alien who gets greeted by Mikey... they'll pry turn right around and go back to where ever they came from :P .

*blinks* the guys are splitting up?! :o


oh, what of the talking dinosaurs?!

*wont be ever seeing a TMNT comic anytime soon*

I liked it alot. Though, it was kinda sad when they began going their seperate ways... I must admit, at first I was surprised it was Donnie going first, but that was only the initial feeling. My second thought about that was that it kinda made sense. I had also kinda hoped that he'd go (or at least call) and say goodbye to April and Casey. Of course, it could've been done "off camera"...

April's mystery: I wanna know what's on that film! :)

And that cliffhanger: ...it's gonna be a long two months...

Awesome issue! :D

Awesome issue, loved the direction it's going. Can't wait for issue 13.

this is the 2nd time that the guys split up. The first time that they did was after the City at War arc. They came back together around issue 6 of Volume 2.

Oooooh, I didn't know that... I just started reading Mirage with volume four, because, well, my local comic shop never carried it before. Though, now they have a bunch of old ones I have to go get now! :)

Thanks for the info...

I enjoyed this issue, its finally starting to look as though they're going to pull all these loose ends together. I've been getting frustrated with all of the different elements that were being introduced, then abandoned.

I really liked the bar. It makes sense to me that there would be hangout places where aliens and humans could "mix". It also makes sense to me that there would be alien "groupies", and that's how I felt about some of the ladies shown in those panels.

Raph getting his ass whupped? Just how many did he have? There were a lot of glasses in front of him!

I just want to say that I was on page 19.

Great issue, not as good as issue 11 (which is probably one of my all-time favorites), but still great. The mystery of April's parent's depens, their is a great scene of the turtles splitting up (I like how they are still very much greiving about Splinter) We see a weird (in a good way :D ) alien thing with a lazer gun in a jungle, (He must play a key role in the next issue because, well, he's on the cover), a cool scene of Raph at a bar, and then of course Raph gets beat up by some vampires then as they're about to drink his blood: "to be continued"! ARRRGGGHHH!!! 2 mounths to find out what happens to Raph and what's up with that alien. Again a beautifull cover painting and some info in the letters collums: Tales of the TMNT #3 will revolve around Splinter, Laird has an idea for a neat extra on the new DVD's, and that issue sixteen will feature the unexpected return of one of Laird's favorite charcters, wonder who that could be?

I have found a new way to read comics, while spinning on a stationary bike in the fitnesses center. :P

But yeah, this comic was really good, in that it was finally touching back on all the mysteries dropped earlier. I don't think the Turtles are officially 'splitting up'. It sounded like Don was going to head off and do his thing again, when Mike does a Mike, and forgets to tell them about his plans too. Leo and Raph were still gonna be hanging. Leo's just doing some business with Karai for a bit. :wink:

I did have a wonder... anyone remember reading the Flaming Carrot crossover? For a minute, I wonder if that has anything to do with the Utroms involvemnt here in thsi issue too? I need to reread those old issues again...

Lastly.. I was loving the Raph/Vampire fight. I actually had an idea a couple years back of writing a fanfic with a more seedy and violent version of VamMi, seducing Raph into being her victum. I guess the whole 'but do vamps really like to drink mutant blood?' research issue turned me off. It'll be interesting to see where Laird goes with this idea! :evilgrin:

I thought it was great how, when Raph was getting beaten, he was totally drunk. :lol:

I can so see Raph in one of those drunkern rehab places,

"Hi, my names Raph and Im an alcoholic."
"HELLOOO RAPH, WELCOME"
"Ye Ye Ye, wheres the booze?"

I have a question though
 

raph says in this isue
"I'm tellin ya ,"dark Lord" I've fought real vampires.......and while you losers could clearly use some personal hygiene lessons....you don't stink nearly as bad as the true unded!"


uuuuuuuuummmm ok I have every issue of the mirage series even special books....where in the hell has raph or any of the other turtles ever fought vampires or the undead before....
just found that odd...
I'll add more if I think about it
