I hope you understand that I do appreciate the scope and direction of the story you are creating; my primary grievance is just with the pacing. And I of course mean no personal offense.

No offense taken, amigo. I can understand the impatience -- our primary goals for this first arc
Spoiler:
were to lay the new origin groundwork, intro important characters (Casey, April, Stockman, Hob, Krang), and get the four turtles back together, of course -- while showing some cool ninja action (and, man, you gotta admit those fighting scenes in issue #4 kick ass!). Splinter's remark about being able to truly begin was very deliberate on my part for many reasons -- one being that the family was impotent to move forward without the missing piece that was Raph -- two being the proclamation that the origin foundation has been laid out, the players revealed, the formalities are out of the way and it's time to kick this sucker into an even higher gear -- issue #5 does just that!
So, all good! Keep reading and keep critiquing -- keeps us honest!
