They even brought back Klunk.

Oh I know that, and I agree it's BS he dismisses it but as the series goes now if he read Volume 4 after 3 he'd be like "Wtf is going on here" I think Laird just got mad they ripped the turtles up and didn't want to continue the series with turtles with psychical handicaps.

I think he still let's some issues show elements of Image, like the Tales Volume 2 story where Mikey is trying to write his book.
