Please help me understand a few things (Mirage Series)

Hi all,
While I was an avid TMNT cartoon viewer, toy collector, and TMNT Adventures (Archie Series) reader, and movie fan, I was too youn to appreciate the Mirage comic series. I have been reading the newest series (7, or 8 issues so far?) and am trying to learn the backstory as best I can through sites, fans, etc. However, it doesn't amount to much at all.

So, ever so briefly, or ever so descriptively, can someone either a) point me in the direction of synopsis for the past Mirage (And Image) TMNT comic series, or possible explain to me yourselves what happened from the very beginning until the first issue of the newest series?

I do have a book recollecting, in color, the story where Leo, out in the snow, is attacked by the foot and shredder/the foot attack April's building, they all head to Casey's farm house, and it ends there. This, I imagine, was a large part of the inspiration for the story of the first movie, correct? And, i also see it is going to be adapted partially in the new cartoon. (Except, in the movie, it was Raph, not Leo, but since in the comic they all had red bandanas, maybe theyre the same person, HAHA. Just kidding

)

So, anyways, all I know is somewhere early in the story they're attacked by the foot in the snow and they head to Casey Jones' farmhouse, which must be early on since it takes place in the first series of the new cartoon and in the first movie.

So, if anyone, or all of you, can maybe take turns and fill me in on the sotry from the beginning until now, such as who are the utroms (spelling?), who is good, who is bad, what happens when, who gets hurt badly, who turns bad, good, etc, who the key players are, what the hey story arcs are....how the series fit into eachother, how the Image series fits in....

I hope this isn't too much to ask, but the sites I've been to don't recollect a whole lot, and being a college student I have limited funds to go buy tons upon tons of back issues...and, I'd like to get as much as I can from the new comic series.

Thanks all, in advance!
