TMNT comics you've come to appreciate

Just wondering if there's been any TMNT comics that you didn't enjoy at first, but if over time you've come to enjoy them?

I just reread most of volume 2. I've never had the full run so the gaps with no previous issue blurb made it hard to follow. Recently I filled some of those gaps and I found myself really enjoying the story. Lawson's art was actually pretty superb in the beginning (though by issue 13 it became mediocre). His storytelling was surprisingly really interesting. Is the Baxter robot a Lawson creation? If so it's one of the greatest contributions to the TMNT universe (just look at how 2k3 overused it).

I also read the flaming carrot/tmnt mini series for the first time. I think this counts as appreciating them over time since I've owned these issues for over 10 years without ever reading them. It ended up being a fantastic surreal story though the art chores changing half way through the series threw things off a bit. Overall this was a fantastic mini series and I'm pissed at myself for having the issues so long and never reading them.

Next I'll be rereading City at War for the second time this year. Strangely I reread it earlier this year and can't remember it at all. Weird.

So what have you guys come to appreciate?
