I read the rest of the story to get into the larger scope of things. I love the story. It's kinda weird cause it follows the old show, but it takes it to a more realistic approach. It's its own canon but still follows most of the season 3 stuff, in terms of both Raphael being tired of saving April and defeating Shredder all the time... and also Shredder being tired of being trated like a flunkie to Krang all the time. Excellent story-telling cause anyone that seen the old show know what it's all about.
This is kinda weird, but I wonder why we love seeing the Turtles get ripped apart as a team and as a family sometimes. Image comics might have gotten carried away, but we were fascinated by all the mutilations. Mutant Ninja Turtle Gaiden had Leo kill Splinter (under sttange circumstances, mind you) and the family drift violently apart. And now Turtle Turncoat had Raph take his anger so far that the other 3 Turtles beat the **** out of him and now he's sided with Shredder. Even the CGI movie had Leo leave the team to train and come back to find the team in shambles and heavy friction between him and Raph.
Weird, but it still fascinates us. Also cause we're hoping they eventually overcome all odds and get back into being a team again.
