Mutanimals is AMAZING. Get it definitely.

I'm not buying the Casey & April TPB immediately, if ever. I'm basically waiting to see how much of the Aka interaction is recapped in the ongoing TMNT series, and how badly I'm forced to acquire the mini-series trade for my collection. I really don't want to financially reward a project that was a vast personal disappointment.

Oh boy, was this story ****.

I kinda get why people are peeved because the story is not heavily related to the main story arc plot, but the story is about April and Casey and that's what I'm getting. Maybe that's why I'm enjoying it more?

And if I want heavy action, there's always the Mutanimals to go to at anytime. Maybe April & Casey's story will be action packed in the future if there is anymore opportunity like this? Who knows.

And also the artwork is nice. As an artist myself, I appreciate the style and the color pallete this series brought to the table. Very luscious and vivid colors. It's a special little mini series to me and very precious imo.

I downloaded all my tmnt comics into my ipad. Ah, ebook, very convenient technology.

If you have Comixology, the first three issues can be obtained for $1.99 each there. Try the first one: it should be more than enough for you to learn if the mini is your cup of tea.

I think it's because we were expecting the story to be "Casey and April do something useful", not just "Casey and April".

I like the way you put that...

I finally got around to reading #4 today, and while nothing really happened in it, I do think that they are setting us up for the next big story arc after TMNT #50. The whole "we're Gods, a war is coming, and you (April) will be part of it" was a huge sign, I think.
Just my thoughts

Well, I did not enjoy that.

I'm very interested in the Pantheon stuff to come of this, though.

Yeah definitely the product of some serious decompressed storytelling. Probably could have been condensed into a 2 issue mini or maybe even a single issue.

Definitely served more of a role as setup for future stuff instead of adding anything big and new itself. The whole mini read together really invokes that single issue of a Micro-Series tie-in feel, which I would be all for Micro-Series vol. 3 at this point.
