April's diminishing role in the comics

Sometimes I feel like the only reason PL gave April a new origin story is, for the most part, April is becoming a useless character in the Mirage comics.

When you stop to think about it, April never really had that big a role in the comics to begin with. The cartoons/movies promote the hell out of April as if she's the second most important character after the Turtles, (even more than Splinter), but in the comics she's low-key.

I know she's the Turtles first human friend, but her "big roles" in the comics were just Baxter stories. #2 was her origin with Baxter, then in Volume 2 robot Baxter comes after her to get revenge, in Volume 4 Baxter's nanobots try to kill April. There was her stint in "City at War," which was her only major non-Baxter story.

How do you feel about April's role in the Mirage comics?
