FOREVER WAR - now it depends on YOU!

I confess, at first I kinda missed the cartoon characters and elements once they started being phased out... and much can (and has) been said about whether or not all the globe-hopping and eco-preaching stuff that replaced the cartoon elements were "better" or not, that's going to come down to personal preference.

But by the time Bebop and Rocksteady or Krang showed up again after not being featured for a while, I realized that I hadn't really missed them so much and in fact only ever did because I expected them to be there because of the cartoon.

Even if what the book became wasn't to everyone's taste - and there's a good bit that even I'm a bit "iffy" on; it's my favorite TMNT comic but I'll never claim it was perfect or that I liked every single bit of it - I think that doing a sharp pivot away from the cartoon as soon as they became established as their own thing was the best thing they ever possibly could have done.
