Mirage Volume 4 - #14 Discussion (Spoilers)
 

this ish kicked!

First off, the painted cover is wicked cool!!! In my opinion it's quite possibly the best TMNT cover yet. But I'll not ruin it for you who have not seen it yet.

April is going to learn about her past - through time travel! (Hint at who appears).

And perhaps the most intriguing NEW plot - what the heck is going on with the Foot clan ?!?!

there's also a short preview of Tales #2...

Re: Mirage Volume 4 - #14 (spoilers, as if you didn't know)
 

Rennet??

Out already? My issue #13 is still in the mail with Tales #1... Thread stickied.

I must also say; is it out already?

It's out!

Very interesting. The April thing has me quite curious.

I'm hoving on quite angry about the Raph thing. It's too close to the old series mutation thing for my liking. But I'll see what comes of it.

The Foot Clan thing is baffling. And then that coin...

Once again, this series leaves me going, "Huh?"

grrr and hooyay!
 

Wow another beautiful cover by the one the only Michael Dooney!
OK The April story confuses the hell out of me...I know she wants to see what happens and then Renet comes finally as April gives up hope but then she takes April back into the past..she has hair and was like oh my god!
Who is this woman she has become is it her mother? I'm very stumped on this one! very stumped indeed!
OK now onto the Donatello & Utrom story I'm totally loving it even if its getting the least attention it seems. But I am sure of it next issue will perhaps close this story off. Now what we saw in this issue was that donatello discovered that the Tree Monster/Mutant/Creature's bark like skin was mixed in with Utrom flesh so does this mean that the Tree Monster is a mutated Utrom lol nah just kidding or am I dum dum dum!! heh
Raphael oh my oh my oh my poor Raph the things peters doing to our old hot head.....sad isn't it? I don't think so even if it is biting off the old last season of the cartoon I think it is still very fun and its being done way better then the old show did it even though I love those episode so I'm biased I guess lol....maybe Lord Dregg will pop up next heh j/k. I really actually can't believe whatever is inside his system is mutating him again.
I really want a toy of this Mutated Raphael.
Not sure if anyone else noticed this but Fugitoid is friends with a forensic examiner I just found that to be odd.
Perhaps these vampires aren't real vampires after all I'm betting 2 things here there either robots with that man made virus in fake fangs or they are perhaps real vampires or Goths who think there silly vampires with poison fangs but that's just my thoughts on it I could be completely off all together.
But I think Peter is hinting that a big show down between aliens and that damn moronic anti-alien movent the Xihad.
Mmmmmmmmk Mike I'm sorry but I think this story is being drawn out way to long perhaps longer then it needs to be it's nice and all mike might end up with a lil girl friend yada yada but in all honesty I think this story is extremely boring and I won't get into it sorry.
Now Leonardo Finally! The story I've been waiting for to get started!
Holy crapola wozers! It's nice to see Karai don't care much for her new hair cut lol....I don't like this Cha Ocho person one bit he's way to freaking arrogant for my tatse....So has anyone else Noticed the new shows influence on this comic yet...just look at the foot soldiers they really look like the foot tech from the new show I wonder if Mr. Lawson has been designing things for the new show. The Thing that shocked me the most was that the foot clan is almost all but dead.....when Karai said that I was like WAAAA!
But the ending was really wierd...I wonder if these killers are from another universe or parallel dimension.
This Issue was really good but I'm really looking forward to Tales Of The TMNT no. 2 now damn them and giving us a preview of it.

Dammit, I still haven't got my "Tales" #1! :evil:

I share your pain, bro. Our comic shop decided not to pick up the series. Damn-it!

Oh, well. Off to Evil-Bay.

Re: grrr and hooyay!
 

well, they had to die sometime.... they can go for so long without shredder without losing meaning.

The Foot Clan was going quite strong and its "death" was not a natural one.

Re: grrr and hooyay!
 

ok first of all shredder is not all that and a bag o' shrimp in this book you have to remeber that he's also not the leader of the foot clan...there are many other factions of the foot and all have been killed but not in a normal way like Roseangelo said.
-Vaughn Michael

Very, very cool issue. So many plots already, and now there's more...kinda...

Anyway, that coin was really weird, and I loved the appearence of Renet!

yes it is out..

Me either... the comic shop I get my comics at didn't order enough. It's good that there's enough demand for it to sell out... but I want my comic!

Hmm.. hope a day inbetween postings is ok for doubling up. If not, sorry...

I got #14 today. I thought it was really interesting. Lots of stuff to look forward to seeing the answers to. The coin, April's past, Raph, Don's discovery, the Foot... I can't wait until #15!! :)

What a great build up, you can feel the suspense. Mr. Laird, you are so cruel for making us wait two months to see what happens!

My favorite parts;

-Whoa, whats the heck happened to April?
-Raptor Raph (as I like to call him) is breaking out... you might want to go into battle mode Fugitoid.
-What are these other-demensional beings, and what do they have against the Foot? Will Leo team up with the Foot again?
-The cover for the next issue looks awesome, Dinosaurs rock, Donatello rocks, Utroms rock; I can't wait to see Doony's finished painting of this. (I'm guessing we'll get a b&w preview in Tales next month.

*screams curses at her non-populated college village for not letting her see any of the issues* :x :cry:

WTH?! What's going on here with all these dinosaurs all of a sudden?! Raptor Raph?! I thought he was turning into a Vampire!

Well he's not really turning into a normal vampire and his design mirrors that of an idea from the proposed 4th Turtles movie called "Raptor Raph". Laird said he was using lots of old ideas in this new book, and I bet that that one is being used, so I kinda thik of him as "Raptor Raph", and besides it sounds cool. It's got the whole "Two words that start with the same letter" thing going on.

and that's all their is to the story.

Why doesn't my comic shop have this? That's two months in a row they've been late :x .

You know, any comic shop has the ability to order one copy of the book for you. All you have to do is tell them what you want and they'll order it for you. It took me three months to ingrain it in the head of the store that I go to that I'm not leaving them alone until they get me these books, and they finally got me my comics.
