But #50 introduces Razorback, who is the main baddie in #61. So it's a must read.

The Burning Man is fantastic. One of my all time favorite Turtle stories. It leaves you wanting more. I hope he gets to finish it.

How many pages long is the "Choices" back up story from The Puma Blues #20?

Ok so Raph question, in the comics he was able to beat Leo one on one, he also beat the Shredder as well?

Also in his stats, he's the strongest, fastest, most durable...also the deadliest. So technically shouldn't he be the best? I know Leo is somehow but when you look at it, Raph seems to have the most upside.

In the 4Kids toon its obvious who is #1, even Mikey is #2 and has owned Raph. I'm not sure who won 1 on 1 between those two i know they sparred all the time though.

For a guy that hasn't read the books and only the toons educate me.

When Raph and Leo fight, it's a spur of the moment kind of thing, and Leo's just keeping Raph from leaving the barn. Leo has a wooden sword and Raph has no weapons. So it's not exactly an indicator of who would win.

Raph never took on Shredder one-on-one, but realistically speaking, they each stand a chance of winning depending on the circumstances.

I also would just like to add in my opinion something that is overlooked sometimes is also the fact I do not believe Leo would go all out on one of his brothers. He is too self controlled that even angry I don't think he would completely lose it.

That said, in terms of battles against one another, I think each of the Turtles has advantages and disadvantageous in fights and much like ToTheNines already stated, any of them could win depending on the situation.

Leonardo I think is considered the strongest because he is the most skilled and tactically minded; but I am certain that is even a topic that could be debated here!

Not to sound like a jerk but can we NOT turn this thread into another "Which turtles is best" debate. There is nothing in the comics to suggest one turtles is better than another. However, if you would like to debate which turtle is most skilled or perhaps their strengths, start a new thread or comment on one the existing 30 or 40 already like that.

It's not canon or anything but I always pictured Leo being the best against big baddies like Shredder, and Raph being the best against hordes of minions like Foot Soldiers.

I think it may come down to control. Raph may be more strong and quick, but Leo's control, and even superior skill can compensate.

I totally agree with this. Leo has the focus to take on large (single) threats whereas Raph's rage is his fuel to taking out hordes of grunts.

They're both physical equals, I guess they just offer different perspectives on how to approach certain situations that could've otherwise been flubbed by Raph or Leo's egos... I dunno, just a thought.

Here's an odd question: Do you hope Donatello and Michelangelo will get more "screen time" in the new TMNT universes, namely IDW and Nick?

I sure do. Leo is my favorite but I think any turtle getting shortchanged sucks. Same goes for Splinter.
