I guess because it was so new and a great idea that appealed to me as a kid. First it was seeing my best friend with a leonardo action figure and I felt so jelous that he had this cool toy when we were playing... actually I was stuck with the ghostbusters and Echo 1 lol Leo driving it was cool when I was like 4. But then I learned about the show as it was coming on the air, I had to wait for my aunt to go to the US to get the turtles and they were my most prized possessions Leo and Raph ahh I remember it like it was yesterday lol. Then my mom got me Mike and Don when she went for a trip (we still didnt have them here in Canada yet)

The show was on and made it so much more addicting with the awesome into and theme songe, plus I liked the story and the action. What better villian then The Shredder and James Avery doing the voice was awesome. It was really the story and then they seemed to be role models lol in later years.

Now reading Mirage I have a new found respect for them and like them even more then ever, being able to read and respect the true TMNT story and new show is awesome. It was a great idea maybe it was supposed to be a spoof of the other mutation type comics/xmen whatever. I like the TMNT better and they made a great story and some really neat characters.

Plus the co-creater is still doing the story and working on the book after all these years. Its awesome that 20 years later those of us to young to appreciate the comics that came out then can read the old issues and see how they are progressing through their lives and how the story will play out. I think its great what Mr. Laird is doing with TMNT vol 4 and Tales I hope he will keep doing it for a while cause its great to see.

I love that no matter who you are, you can relate to at least one of the characters, even if its one of the villians. There are so many dynamic personalities. Plus the story has so many twists and creative plots without going TOO overboard. I know its a story of turtles, who not only mutate into human form, but also become ninjas, befriend alien races, stand up to the evil of the world, and LOVE pizza, BUT it's actually still believable.
