Issue 19 (SPOILER ALERT!) - Page 2

**Jester** · 12-31-2004, 09:43 AM

i second that elite. I want my Raphie back...man i wish i could find the comics....

OA · 01-09-2005, 12:55 PM

While I am enjoying how they've got about 5 differnt sotries going on right now, I think this bi-monthly format isn't doing it any justice...didnt I hear somewhere they were goin to switch over to a monthly schedule with the book? If so, when?

The best part of the book IMO was when Casey picked up the mask again...time to start bashin in some heads!

**azure turtle** · 01-09-2005, 01:11 PM

GRAH! I wish Peter would reveal what's buggin' April. I must know her true origins!

Tales is the one that's going monthly.

**Jester** · 01-09-2005, 07:24 PM

Yeah...i wanna know what happened to April...

she's been gone a while Casey (and i'll admit it, me to) is worried.

**azure turtle** · 01-10-2005, 01:46 PM

Honestly, I think April's story is the most interesting, even though we haven't seen her in a long while. I'm not happy about Raph's story, but I am glad to see that he's finally gotten some sanity back. Mike's story started out great, and now it's just "eh" to me. I'm hoping it doesn't turn into a soap opera (it's more like a weird romance novel right now). I'm diggin' Leo's story, with the strange warriors and the ancient spells that Karai might be involved with. I just wish the pacing would move faster. Don's story is cool too, but I laughed when the Utrom took Don with him and left the others to rot in the experimental glass jars. If any giant spiders decide to eat everyone, I wonder how Don will feel towards this different Utrom tribe?

I finally got around to picking up this issue. It was nice to finally see Casey and April since we haven't heard from them in like 5 issues.

I think Casey finding his mask was the best part.

~~Leo656~~ · 01-15-2005, 03:14 AM

Truthfully, only Leo and April's stories are really grabbing my attention at the moment, and we don't see enough of them, IMO, but I understand why what with all the characters that need attention.

Maybe Mirage should have each of the Turtles in a 3 or 6-issue solo mini-series to get their "personal" stories to move along quicker. I'd buy 'em.

*cqb101* · 01-15-2005, 07:54 AM

Holy ****! Leo's back! I must be seeing things.

~~Leo656~~ · 01-15-2005, 07:12 PM

Oh you can believe your eyes, my friend, cuz The Franchise (and nWo Tech) are back and (more or less) better than ever! You didn't see the "Band is Back Together" thread in the GD?

Speaking of, without Castor Troy around, we DO need an influx of hot chicks in nWo Tech. Tell your friends.

But seriously, yeah, like I said before... if *I* were in charge of Mirage, and we had a lotta money to throw around, I'd start running four simultaneous 3 or 6-issue minis, one for each of the TMNT, each series coming out on alternate weeks. Weekly TMNT, how cool would THAT be? "TMNT" and "Tales" would still come out on a regular schedule, with "Tales" in its current, perfectly-fine format and "TMNT" having a bit more of a group dynamic to it. Meanwhile, the minis would focus on each individual character's story, in more detail than the current TMNT book is doing, and then everything would move faster.

I know Mirage probably can't do anything like this due to (probably) money, but c'mon, that would f*cking rule.

*zkarlette* · 01-16-2005, 11:41 PM

I finally made my long trip south to get my comics Tales 6 and TMNT 19

I can only say #19 wasnt really informative April is still gone , Don is still finding out where hes been stuck for awhile , and well the Mike/ regenta situation that ,Ill have to agree with Buslady I really hope that egg is from someone else ...... but thats just my opinion ........I hope that the next issue will be better , Im glad that Raph is getting better and finally calmed down.

I still have to read Tales

I thought Tales was every other month, just like Volume 4? They just happen to alternate months, so we end up getting one TMNT book per month.

It was, but now it's going monthly....Or atleast it was suppose to.

*zkarlette* · 01-18-2005, 01:49 PM

Its supposed to but not yet at least , cause the last Tales issue still says see you in sixty so... we'll have to wait

SPOILERS!!!!!!!

Wich by the way I dont know what to think of this last issue , If you like the Archie comics its like that drawings and all but Leonardo didnt act like himself I think , why would he hurt cha like that?? The turtles dont go slashing people

Triceraton · 01-21-2005, 10:53 PM

Tales is monthly starting with #7. So #7 will be out in January(or at least it's supposed to be), #8 in February, #9 in March, etc. They're doing it because there are issues already finished far enough that they can easily keep a monthly schedule.

kicknz · 01-22-2005, 11:58 AM

I hope some of the Turtles meet back up soon because having each issue broken up to tell four different storylines is driving me nuts. It's going to take a year to narrate a couple of days' events.

That's good to hear. Volume 4 is taking an eternity.

**azure turtle** · 01-24-2005, 02:23 PM

Thank goodness. I'm glad to hear Tales is going monthly. I'm enjoying it more than Volume 4 at the moment.

*CyberCubed* · 02-03-2005, 09:52 PM

Issue 19 was excellent. All the storylines are finally being explained, and everything is coming together.

Peter Laird rocks, he still does. I couldn't care less what people think of him as a person, but his writing is indeed great. It does hurt that the comic is bi-monthly, but otherwise the story isn't dragging at all, it only feels that way because you have to wait 2 months.

Excellent issue. Can't wait for the next one.
