Are TMNT comics honestly "good comics" by other series standards?

Not touching this thread. Suffice to say, others have covered my thoughts to varying degrees already.

I will say that when the Mirage TMNT comics are good... they're VERY good. And they can be very good again.

And I can't say that I agree with "Images Volume 3 is the epitome of hardcore, style-over-substance comics" by any means apart from some cosmetic choices. That's pretty much the antithesis of the kind of comics Gary Carlson has always written, and continues to write with Big Bang. People are so quick to go, "Raph had his face shot, Donatello became a Cyborg, Splinter became a bat, Leo lost a hand!" and completely ignore what the other 500 pages of the volume was about... which had more heart than 90% of Volume 2 and 4.
