Are you an Eastmancratic, a Lairdian, or in between?

Based on all I've heard, it seems like if it had been up to Laird entirely, we'd only have the Mirage comics and nothing else. A cult-following comic (one I'd love to read more of, but still) that never gets to end properly due to the author's indecision? I doubt I'd be a Turtles fan if that was all there was to it. It's because of all the other incarnations that Eastman seems more enthused about that I'm even interested in those original comics.

That said though, Eastman really could stand to be a little more strict on his 'baby' as it were. Next Mutation...the upcoming movie...both are things he should have thought a little harder on before signing off for them to go forward.

I agree.

I wouldn't have heard of the mirage comics either had I not have watched the OT. I was only a toddler when #1 came out. Even still I was a grade school when the OT was out and I didn't read comic books like that until I reached Middle school. The OT and the Movie helped a lot. And yeah, Eastman should have put more effort into Next Mutation. I didn't hate Venus, but I hated the cornball gags that were in it.
