Greetings and Salutations, Friends!

Hi, I'm Watchword! Longtime fan of the Turtles. I wanted to join because I got the impression that the Technodrome forums had a big comic book fan presence...? I meet a lot of folks who watch the movies and cartoons, but not many who are into the comic books. The buddy who I usually talk TMNT comics with has fallen out of the loop and I don't want to spoil her!

Love pretty much everything about the Turtles. Grew up on the Fred Wolf cartoon, adored the 1990 movie, ate up the Archie comics line, was given the First Publishing trade paperbacks containing the first TMNT comics at a young age... long story short, I was hooked for life. I did take two hiatuses--I ended up missing out on the 2003 cartoon, most of Volume 4 and Tales of the TMNT Vol. 2, and the first 28 issues of IDW's run as a result. Playing catch-up slowly but surely.

Currently building a fort out of my comic book cartons, as god intended. Am also filling out the holes in my collection for great justice. I also love collecting TMNT figurines and toys, and enjoy the TMNT 2012 cartoon. My holy grails are currently Tales of the TMNT Vol. 2 #70, Vol. 4 #32, and (of course!) TMNT #1. When I get out of this job slump those are the first things I'm saving for.

In any case, greetings! I'm really looking forward to... uh, quite honestly, lurking a lot. :'D But mostly, getting some great perspective on the comic books and finding out if I've missed any weird ones, 'cause friends, that is my thang.
