Do the Mirage Comics Work for New Readers in 2016?

Maybe it was subconciously, but the fact that Baxter became a recurring character in the cartoon whereas in Mirage he was just a one-shot character for like 10 years....and then he suddenly came back, might have had something to do with it.

I mean if we just look at issue #2 alone, Baxter's just a generic mad scientist and the main point of that issue is to introduce April. Baxter's character didn't really have anything going for him until Volume 2.

Also its rather obvious Baxter's popularity in the OT is what cemented him as a major TMNT villain, which is why the 2k3 series, Nick cartoon, and IDW comics all use Baxter heavily too.
