I mean, you buy an issue and see a lovecraftian tale in it...I am in love with that.
That makes the universe rich. Over the top ninja action may be cool but i am mostly happy when i see a turtle sitting in the living room with a remote control in hand and a slimy creature comes from the bath tube to unleash chaos... I think TMNT would not survive to this day if they had only used street thugs, street fights, old foes , treacheries, etc ,etc

*sigh*, Once again, I LIKE the ALIEN and MONSTERS in the Mirages's TMNT , BUT, I liked the fact that everything was done in the shadows without the general public knowing. That was the realism in TMNT. The turtles were underground heroes, almost an urban legend, and they fought there battles without the general public knowing. That was the appeal, because it brought a little realism to their world. I can beleive mutant turtles living in the sewers more than I can beleive in a guy swinging from webs, or a guy with a blue suit and red cape flying throuhout the city. The turtles were unique, but having a bunch of aliens and superheroes walking around in public, then you might as well have them living in the DCU or Marvel Universe.
