That's why a suits way of thinking is skewed.

I was 7 years old when I read "Sons of the Silent Age" and "Soul's Winter" (my first Mirage issues), and while I was confused with the tone and its stark contrast with the cartoon, those 2 isssues are what caused me to fall in love with the Mirage Turtles.
