It would be sad that a mutated humanoid turtle who lives in a sewer hadn't had sex?

It be sad if they haven't screwed a human girl on some random adventure by the time they reached Volume 4 anyways....

I can only imagine two of the Turtles having random adventures. For the other two, it would be WAY OOC.

And I do not know if given their anatomical differences, screwing would be possible. I think they would only get to the heavy petting stage. It would stay at outercourse.

I just ordered this and other past issues. Being on an island with 2 or 3 comics stores that hardly, if ever,carry TMNT, I am forced to order direct from Mirage.

I love my turtles...

*Andrew NDB* · 01-11-2008, 10:14 AM

Suffice to say I'm strongly against this... but at this point even the TMNT comics are about an asshair away from just being dead to me anyway, so I can't really muster up any emotion beyond something resembling "numb dissatisfaction."

No you're not. Ask one of the comic stores to add TMNT to your pull list, and they'll make sure it's ordered for you every month.

I've tried that, they always give me **** if I don't want 3 or 4 other titles. I only read turtles. That's mainly because I can get the whole story without having to read not only the turtles back issues but 500 other comics without other characters lines. That's why Marvel pisses me off.

"Check out this new arc in Spider-man #45, GHost Rider #56, Morbius the Vampire #1! We made a whole new comic just to piss you off! Hulk #34, Super Hulk Explosion War #440"

They do that like twice a year now.

Your comic store is run by scumbags, then. Every place I've been to will do it even for one comic, though it varies whether or not they ask for some kind of deposit or pre-payment.

I read Green Lantern, so there's plenty of that. I don't mind the occasional mega-crossover, but what happens lately is that things are going from mega-crossover to mega-crossover to mega-crossover, with no real decompression... yeah, not digging it.

I've thought of that but I'd get so imbarassed in asking.

Being a girl, comic book stores intimidate me. They are geared more for dudes. (which makes sense since mostly dudes read them) ANYWAY, before I get of the topic... I haven't been to the comic store in a while so I'll try that and hope I don't have the same problem as Spitfire. THANKS.

Many are, where do you think the character of Comic Book Guy from the Simpsons came from? Stereo Types exist for a reason.

*Rooish* · 01-11-2008, 05:14 PM

Yeah, places don't order it for me. Ever heard of Toronto? Fifth most populous city in North America? Only one comic shop carries up-to-date TMNT -- at least from what I've found. Other places are just like, "Sorry, we don't carry ... that."

No comic stores in Seattle carry it either. You have to special order it, and you can seldom do it after the fact... you need to set up a pull list in advance, and any comic stores that don't do pull lists for customers probably aren't going to be in business long.

TristanHuwJones · 01-12-2008, 04:19 AM

Could always be worse. I've read some mortifying fan fiction. Involving characters I created.

BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

So, what, are they starting to read fanficiton over at Mirage for new ideas? Wow.

Spoiler:

*Andrew NDB* · 01-12-2008, 03:39 PM

I still haven't read it. To be honest, there's still the possibility I'll get #41, read it, and be blown away by it.

Odds... yeah, odds aren't too good for that from what I hear here, but it's a possibility.

You sure? Last time I checked, which was way back during the movie comics, Zanadu Comics in the U district still carried TMNT titles.

Oh wait, you're halfway right. Zanadu Comics in the U District did not, but Zanadu Comics right next to the Pike Place did.

Or any character for that matter? I mean, there is more to life than sex. If there were comic characters that never had a romantic interest, I wouldn't mind. Heck, that would probably make the characters a little more relateable for a lot of comic geeks. That includes myself, we know our own.

Anyway, they seem to tell a lot of stories about the future turtles. I picked up that future Raph issue recently, and the future turtles were the new intro in each chapter of that Tales trade.

*Scandia* · 01-15-2008, 05:25 AM

I agree. There is MUCH more to life than just sex. Not having sex does not automatically make you asexual. Or a loser. Or dull. Or mean there's something horrendously wrong with you.

I have one asexual character in my stories. And another one who dies at age 13. Since neither one has engaged or will engage in sexual relations, does that make them bad characters in any way? Absolutely not.

You're right. But aren't you the same person that posted that they were furious that April and Casey were just living in sin in TMNT Part Four?

Raph'N'Roll · 01-15-2008, 04:32 PM

I don't like the idea of the Turtles having sexual relationships with Humans, so I won't bother picking up this issue.
Probably skip next months issue as well, that's April and Casey's wedding right?
I'm not buying any more issues with poor art, that is unless the story is particularly good.
I like reading comics with art that inspires me and Tales is hit and miss, and so to will be my purchases.
Some more Ninja action please with added grit, and set in New York!
Is that too much to ask?
