Compare/Contrast: The Many Colorizations of TMNT #1

Now that TMNT Color Classics #1 has hit the selves, I thought it might be interesting to see how it stacks up against the previous two attempts at coloring the issue. I put an article up about it over at TMNT Entity:

Compare/Contrast: The Many Colorizations of TMNT #1

As it happens, save for one minor annoyance and one major mistake, I think Color Classics #1 is easily the best of the three. I appreciate that they don't mess with the original linework, inking or duotones and simply color over the original art. The previous attempts tried to hard to "fix" things and only served to take away from the visual identity (not as badly as the PBBZ reprint, which I didn't even feel was worth comparing in this article).

Blue Shredder, though... Blue Shredder...
