Well, I just got back from the comic shop and bought April and Leo, but no sight of Don or the adaptation. I asked the owner about it, and he said they missed Don for some reason. He told me they should get some next week. He's ordered the adaptation as well, so I'm guessing that will come out next week or the week after. Otherwise, it would have been there today since he's ordered it.

I was wondering about that-- glad it was Mirage's mistake, and not my dealer's.

Yep. Got both today as well.

Have read them, too. Pretty good stories. Leo's is a bit reminicent of the 2k3 ep. "The Ancient One". Though a word of warning, the April Prequel is a teeny bit graphic.

I got them as well today...Poor Don always gets left out!!!
April: Her comic is great the Art by Andres Ponce is beautiful it sort of almost reminds me of the Archie series.
I like that it informs us that April still owns the Second Time around store something that wasn't even hinted at in the movie.
There is something that bothers me though on page 3 to the left there is a guy smoking a cig. he's wearing something odd that I just can't figure out it sort of makes him look like a robot. Anyone have any idea what it is exactly?I'd have to say page 15 is my favorite page in the entire comic.
So was I the only one not expecting Sabastian to turn on April like that?
The violence in this issue is a bit shocking tuns of people are dead and I can not believe those men hit April like that.
I also liked the little touch of them adding the crooked x goverment people to
the mix.
The was a great comic over all but I think it could have went on allot more I'd have liked to see April going after the other statues as well and seeing what happens there.
Leonardo: Leo's comic is even better than April's in my opinion!
I loved seeing him go all over the place and meeting the Yeti's!
Oh And let me also make mention of what a wonderfull Artist Dario Brizuela is he's another that really takes me back reminding me of the Archie series style.
Wow This issue had allot of blood as well and cursing which is a bit shocking but it isn't written by Peter. I have to be honest I sort of liked seeing the gore and urse words for a change.
My favorite part of the comic is the bottom panel on page 14 where Leonardo is dripping in the blood of the men who had planed to sell those children to adults.
I do have something I dislike allot about the comic book though and that is the inclusion of the ACIENT ONE & THE NINJA TRIBUNAL.
I'm sure allot of people will get kicks out of seeing that but it just bothers me seeing them included in this seeing how those characters where created strickly for the 2k3 cartoon. It does sort of make one wonder though do they plan to have these characters be a part of the new movies?
But other than that the Comic is really great.
I can't wait for the movie adaption next week and hopefully poor Don as well!

Yeah. A bit of violence, as Putrescent notes too.

With people getting (senselessly) killed left-and-right, all over want of the statue.

I got them and the new Tales. Both of the prequels were really good. I'm just glad the guy who did the art on the Mikey one isn't doing any of the others.

What? I'd take the art from Michelangelo over the art of Raphael any day. I really disliked what they did with the first prequel...

Do any of you have a reliable online site I could order the comics from? I can't find any local comic stores with the comics and I would like to check the newer ones out. Thanks

Any comic store should offer a subscription service so that they'll order copies of the books you want and hold them for you.

Otherwise, milehighcomics.com is good and so is mycomicshop.com.

This is not true many comic shops make you order from anywhere between 5 to 10 titles a month to have a subscription. I know because I've asked just about every store in town. It's really annoying.

Well that's lame. The most any store I've used has required is two titles.

I'm short the Donatello prequel! :( Must go on the hunt for that one...

Overall, I thought they were pretty good. Leo's and Aprils were pretty awesome though I wish they'd packed in more pages to Leo's. It seemed a little rushed to me but the art was great and the story was well done. Just rushed.

I really wasn't fond of Raph's story. :( The writing was difficult to get through, it felt really uh.....hmm......it just felt a little silly. And Leo was a huge jerkface and Splinter just- wth Splinter, come on man. 9_9 It, too, felt rushed.

Mikey's story was cute though, I would have liked more of his cute 'duuude' and 'bro' words in there.

Anyways. I dunno if this was a place to discuss the comics or just to FIND them. >_>; My apologies if it's OT.
