Which comic to buy?

[Zelda]

I reeeaaaally think I need to get some of the comics--but ninjaturtles.com lists SO MANY @_@ And I'm on dialup with a brother that attaches to the computer like a leech (despite that I work 40 hrs a week so he could easily use ALL that time, plus the time when I'm asleep since he doesn't have a job)...so trying to search through the summaries has been hard....

Recomendations?

I LOVE the new series but I don't want to read something that 's *exactly* like it in plot/dialogue/etc. But similar would be cool. And I don't think I'm quite ready for the whole "April is pregnant and Splinter is dying" stuff @_@

But I looooove Mikey with Raph coming in second (but his angst is starting to wear on me...there's more than enough of that iRL kthx). I like sci-fi, am a Star Trek and Star Wars fan but I get bored with sci-fi that's there just for the sake of sci-fi or just for the sake of showing off cool ships ;p Battle scenes are cool but not FOREVER...my mind is dum with spatial stuff and doesn't link how we move from one panel to another very well. I love complicated twisted weird plots and a dark edge to them is perfectly great.

I'd like to get ALL the comics obviously XD; but $$ is haaard... So I'd like to focus on just one series and try and get my hands on a number of issues in that series instead of a couple issues from each series like I did with X-men...that's insane and confusing and you don't really get anywhere. (What'd be better is a book-sized collection of the comics like I have with Spiderman... I'm afraid of loosing/ripping these little magazine things ;___; but I've heard there isn't one published yet ): )

Also, where is a good place to get them? ebay? any other on-line place? comic stores? I've browsed a few but if I had ever seen a TMNT comic I would've bought it on the spot so I must not be looking in the right places...
