Honestly. I think the Turtles comics really, really suck. I hate the black and white. The art is aweful, I can draw ten times better than that. On Buslady's site, there is a member there that has artwork of the Turtles that could blow anything you see the "professionals" do out of the water. The wording of comic books suck. And why in the hell is it black and white? Why couldn't the whole Leonardo comic book art be like the one on the cover. Cover looks great, but then you open it, and see work that looks like it was done by a 6 year old. Actually, I have seen better drawings of the Turtles done by 6 year olds than I saw in this comic!

So, I ask, what is it really that makes these comic books so enjoyable to most ninja turtle fans? Does my hatred for the comic book format make me an inferior TMNT fan? I don't like feeling like this, but I almost want my money back on those two comics I got, and I didn't even pay for the freaking things, they were given to me by my cousin as a late birthday present, but she even thought the Turtles comics sucked compared to her beloved X-Men.

Do you people really like the comics over the 2k3 toon, old movies and so forth?

Dude, different artist have different styles. Not everyone is a Jim Lee or a Michael Turner, or an Alex Rose. Some people's styles are very simplistic, like Scott McDaniel, Darwyn Cooke, and Stan Sakai. While others go into heavy detail like Ed Benes and Alex Ross. What matters is they have the basic fundamentals down, and all the TMNT artist have that. Thankfully, these guys aren't Rob Liefields(thats a comic book joke).

Plus there was nothing wrong with the lettering. And the TMNT boooks have almost always been in black and white, it's just they're thing. Alot of other comics do that. Like Usagi Yojimbo and Walking Dead.

And yes, I like the comics over any other incarnation.
