I never had a strong opinion either way. Archie was and probably still is my favorite TMNT series, just the right blend of action, story, and humor.

I guess Archie. Was that future the one with the cover of that big shark squeezing Leonardo's head? If so that was one of my first comics.

Wow same here, I think his name was armagon, he was in the Super Nintendo Tournament fighters. I don't know how I got the comic but I did. It was one of my first as well, and I still think it's a beautiful cover.

I think eventually the Archie comics will become more valuable than the mirage ones. Mainly because nostalgia (kids read archie, adults read mirage when they were new, for the most part) and because archie seemed to copy Marvel's style with the comics.

I never had this issue but I thought the cover was very cool:

Really?! Ninjara's showing up in Forever War?! EEEEE!!! *JUAD*

ooh.. I wonder if her daughter will be in it too? Not that they need the cuteness factor of a half wolf/half fox but still...would be nice to see Mocha or at least a reference to her. A shame Mokoshen was murdered....meh

But yay!! Ninjara in Forever War!!! Goodie Goodie!!

They can't have a happy ending for Ninjara and Raph cuz Raph ends up marrying Ninjara's descendent!

I went with Archie. I have never read a comic and I have next to no knowledge about it. Why did I vote for it? Because I've only seen two episodes of Fast Forward, the first one succeding in making me sick, and the other one making me cringe quite a few times, though it did get some laughs out of me.

Also, Archie was the original fondation for the turtles in the future in my eyes. They, from what I gather, were a lot more than just shredding suits and shouting "IT'S NINJA TIME!" at the top of their lungs. Besides, Raph's missing eyeball does things to my fangirly mind

Hmm...for some reason, I thought the results would be less one-sided. Time to defend the unloved.

While I have serious love for both incarnations, I have a feeling Fast Forward will surpass the future turtles once it finishes its story. Nostalgia aside, while Archie's future had a lot going for it, I've discovered on recent readings that it completely lacks anything resembling a coherent story. The Armaggon story, for all its foreshadowing and whatnot, ended dissapointingly with a free-for-all battle, and no resolution on the whole time-slip business. Dreamland, likewise, speeds through the Verminator story to the Hitler story to the Crainiac story somewhat incoherently. In short, it feels unfinished--like a preview to a larger series--plus, I just don't like "good" Verminator in the end. Fast Forward, for all its faults (percieved or otherwise) at least seems to be trying to tell a story (albeit, it seems, an unpopular one). Likewise, it seems more determined to actually develop its world, which the Archie series didn't spend too much time on.

In the end, I believe both incarnations have their pros and cons. Archie had ambience, a cool status quo and interesting concepts (Hitler's brain), but lacked a cohesive story; Fast Forward lacks the ambience but has a story to tell. All in all, I still want to see animated Verminator X; I guess I'll have to settle for Torbin Zixx.

I remember being a lot younger and having read 2 of the future archie story arcs and just being blown away. I loved those 2 issues( Made me real happy when the armour showed up in "Cyber turtles") But anyways, how many issues of the future story arc were there? or archie issues in general?

Yea... the Cyber Samurai Turtles from the Archie series! Awesome! And one of the comics (I don't remember which one) came with a poster of the turtles in their cyber samurai armour that I still have.
