here ya go, 62 + 13 issues quick style. actually im just going to hit the main storylines. stuff like rick veitchs and a.c. farley's are stories that fit in the continum, but have no real consequnce on the story as a whole. the stuff about the tales of the tmnt will be after this.

turtles are born, kill shredder, anger foot.
april is assistant for baxter. who is insane, and creates mousers. april bails on his evil plans, he tries to kill her, turtles save her, put baxter in jail. or something.
turtles go home to find lair in shambles, splinter gone. they go back to april since home isnt safe. while exercising on rooftops foot finds them. big battle, then they see the TCRI bulding, same letters on the can of ooze. they infiltrate, find out that splinter is there. the TCRI found himi n the sewers. the TCRI is really the utrom earth headquarters, where they were ship wrecked. turtles and utroms mistake each other for enemies, and they find splinter in a big tube thing. they think hes dead, but hes not, the utroms are nursing him back to health. then oops, they get teleported. here they meet fugitoid, fight some triceratons, and eventually make it back to earth, in the TCRI building. some triceratons followed. turns out, by some accident, leatherhead ends up being teleported back here at this time too, or something.

meanwhile, when the turtles first teleported, it let off this huge ass beam through the roof. the army or some **** goes to infiltrate. so when the turtles get back, the army or whatever is slowly making its way through the building. they all teleport away in the nick of time.

casey meets raphael. close enough to the movie way. also, during this time we meet all the other super freaks in an issue (# 15) that you see in the new series.

foot are still pissed back home. they gang up on leo one day, while hes out exercising. they lead him to a trap, and he gets the living hell beat out of him, and he sees the shredder. he barely makes it home (at aprils) alive, but meanwhile the foot followed him. the turtles fight, and slowly escape the building. they get down to the second hand store part, and see the shredder. then casey jones, raph's new friend, sees the ruckus and joins in to help. they escape out the back, meanwhile shredder and the foot burn the place. they go to casey's grandmas (i think) house on the farm. they live there for a while, recouporating. they have a few adventures.

finally, after like a year, raph cant take it anymore. he heads back to NY, and returns to the old lair. the other turtles follow. turns out a triceraton was left from the TCRI building that happened a while back. the triceraton is more or less retarded due to the earth's atmosphere not being what he breathes. raph tricks him into helping them - turns out this triceraton, zog, knows where the foot HQ is...

they go there, get inside, and zog dies. finally. shredder is indeed alive. they took some worms, and they fed on shredder's remains. a couple of freaks happened first, and the turtles kill them while leo runs after the shredder. leo beheads the shredder, and they burn his corpse.

here we loose continuity, b/c laird and eastman dont have any say in the stories for almost 30 issues. im guessing at this point, they go live back on the farm. there's an issue with leatherhead, he lives in the sewer now, is kinda crazy, and is trying to rebuild a transmat device. it gets broken, he blames the turtles, and we all feel sorry for the poor fellow.

nothing majorly important happens again till 48 (or so). this is the city at war(at 50). the turtles are all unhappy. casey kills a kid, accidentally, and nobody (see the tales of tmnt part) tries to arrest him. casey throws away his mask, april's life sucks, and they are all a bunch of mopes. april tries going to CA i think, to live with her sister. her dad dies, so she goes back home to see the old store, meanwhile the turtles are hiding inside - more on that in a minute. she ends up buying an apartment building with the inheritance, and it turns out casey's mom owns the place. casey had just returned home. she buys it. splinter goes off on a search for inner peace or something, and gets trapped in a big silo deal, and breaks his leg. rat king comes to him in apparent ghost form, and gets him to eat other rats to have nutrition, to have the strength to climb out. he sees rat king's bones on the ground.

casey stops at a bar while going to NY, and his car gets stolen. the waitress (gabrielle) lets him stay at her place. they fall in love, and turns out shes pregnant, but from before casey was there. she dies when giving birth, and casey adopts the child, shadow.

the turtles take up shelter in a water silo. meanwhile, the foot is all about killing each other, since the death of shredder, many factions have split off doing this and that, and are at war with each other. also, some of the shredder elite (shredder's personal guards, swore allegiance to shredder) go around killing the foot too. the head of the foot in japan, karai, asks the turtles for help, in trade, the foot stop hunting the turtles, the turtles leave the foot alone. its a truce.

so the turtles lure all the foot elite (b/c they obviously hate the hell out of the turtles, who noone has control over) to april's old house. the foot elite crash the joint, and the turtles kill them all. the truce is called. don stays with splinter on the farm, the rest live in april's apartment building's basement.

now we go to volume 2.

baxter escapes from jail, and puts his brain in a big robot. he starts to terrorize april, starting with injecting her with the nanobots making her sterile. the turtles split up, going their own ways. raph moves into a cathedral, mike stays in the basement (he loves shadow, and hes quiet), leo moves into the sewer, and fights this big ass turtle. baxter lures the turtles out of hiding, and raph is lost in the process, and nobody helps. well he doesnt, but he tried.

the CIA or something is following baxter, and one day ransacks april's apartment, to find out why they are doing that. this guy (i forget his name, lou maybe? ill call him lou.) finds out, beats them down, and uses his mind-reading/altering ability to find out whats going on. he got this power from these people, when they did experiments on him. he finds out they have raph at their base or whatever. they go to save raph, freeing some other aliens, including a triceraton. they fight their way out, and during that nobody dies. they get free, but the triceraton has turned traitor and a loose triceraton spacecraft sees his homing beakon, and they are all like "lets take over earth".

then, lou leads the turtles to think he was killed (hes all cool like that), and that the world was blown up. they wake up (the turtles and casey) and think it was all a dream, once again to lou's doing. meanwhile lou and another alien saved the earth. lou erases himself from their memory

we are left kinda confused, b/c with lou's powers, we dont know what did and didnt happened. nobody might not even be dead. but i think what happened was - they esacpe, nobody dies, him and the alien save the planet. then the turtles returned home, and he mind-whiped them.

TALES:
here's a few things that happened in tales:
-we meet leatherhead, who was left behind when the utroms teleported. he lives in the sewers
-we meet nobody. hes a cop, who has a super hero identity. hes kinda wierd
-we meet rat king in an abandoned place

thats the more important ones. im tired. =)
