I've always wanted Mikey to stay as young as he can be.

I could totally see the same old lighthearted Mikey, all wrinkled up in front of a virtual-fireplace, telling the great-great-grandchildren of April and Casey about "that time I beat Triceraton Prime Leader Zanramon's All-Star Warriors in gladiatorial combat..."

Ha-ha-ha-ha.

Oh! And don't forget Mikey as Turtle Titan, so, there goes Mikey and his exaggerations again.

Okay, so about that Tales Vol. 1 collected book. This is how I interpret it. Don seems to go back in time in order of when his bros died. Leo's death was most recent, then Mike's, then Raph's. Raph died first (but he lives to at least 2060 according to Tales Vol. 2), which is why, when he comes back in the hologram reunion or whatever, he still looked young. I don't think he ages slower than the others; I think he died before he looked all old-geezer-y.

Don encounters Raph last, and Mike second-last, which suggests that Mike died second. He encounters Leo first, and we already know Leo lives to at least 100 (also from Tales Vol. 2) so I'm guessing he dies second-last and Don dies last.

As for old Mike ... I would love to see a comic with him.

It makes me kind of sad to think of the Turtles dying, though. And I don't think Mirage should ever tell us how. Fans would hate it too much.

I disagree. It could be really ****ing good.

Of course, depending on the writer it could be really ****ing bad too...

Heh, that's what I'd be afraid of. If some writer or other made the deaths lame.

I kind of wish Murphy would write a whole series again, like the Archie comics. And he could complete the story of the TMNT.

My one worry though, as a Mike fan is, he doesn't really seem to have much great fondness for Mike. So I'd be worried Mike wouldn't get enough of an arc, whether in life or death, if Murph wrote the story. And ... well, Mike's old age is what this thread is about, so I'd like to see it told well.
