Donatello: The Brain Thief #4 (already out)

It was just too decompressed. Lawson tried to take two issues-worth of story and stretch it to fill four, and it just didn't work.

There were MUCH better ways to pad the thing out than what we got, least of all being more interaction between Don and Baxter. Instead, it just filled the extra page space with panel after panel of empty sewer tunnels or Don running and running and running.

The premise of the story wasn't bad, it's just that there was only two issues plot at BEST and that's not even factoring in the wasted potential in regards to Don and Baxter.

It would've been fine as a one-shot issue of Tales, but it didn't have enough meat for a four issue miniseries.
