Tales of Leonardo: Blind Sight #1 - Page 2

*DrSpengler* · 06-29-2006, 05:46 PM

I didn't get him contemplating suicide out of that, though. In his little fantasy he doesn't leap from the tower, he slips and falls (in a rather silly way). I think the entire issue would have been better if, in his fantasy, he imagined himself taking a swan dive into the streets rather than going "RAAAARRRGGGGGGH-Whoops!"

I know there's plenty of story-potential for Blind Sight, but this issue in-particular just didn't do anything for me.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-30-2006, 08:30 AM

He wasn't contemplating suicide. It was clearly stated that his supposed fall was an accident.

Anyway, while I LOVED Tales #5, this is the worst 'comic book' -TMNT or otherwise- I have ever read. Sorry if I'm stepping on some toes here, but seriously, every single page of this sucked. I knew this series was going to be pointless, and nothing screams 'pointless' more than this issue.

Maybe I didn't 'get' it or something, and I'm not sure if I want to.

OldSchooler · 06-30-2006, 01:21 PM

It's probably worth reading the rest of the series before deeming it 'pointless'.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-30-2006, 01:38 PM

No, the original issue was a standalone story (And worked so well because of it) and did not need a spinoff. Whether it will be worthwile remains to be seen, but it was never neccesary.

OldSchooler · 06-30-2006, 02:08 PM

Well, applying that logic then Vol1 #2 was not necessary either, nor any subsequent issue.

*Mecha Cow* · 06-30-2006, 03:13 PM

Apples and oranges. Tales #5 appeal lay in how it was written as a short story; short and simple, with a twist and a hint of irony. It was done, nothing more needed to be added. It didn't introduce a brand new universe in the way Volume One #1 did.

But whatever dude, I am not going to argue about this. If you liked the issue, good for you, but I didn't.

OldSchooler · 06-30-2006, 03:29 PM

That's cool, I don't want to launch into anything here either, I'm pretty sure there's a point to it though and it's far from the worst comic (TMNT or otherwise) - you obviously don't read Avatar's licensed horror lines (or Jason vs Leatherface)... blech!

If this is the "worst" comic you've ever read, then you probably haven't read many comics. Either that or you only read the best comics ever written.

I thought this first issue was a great character piece on Leonardo. It's the second part of a five part tale. The story is only beginning to unfold.

OldSchooler · 06-30-2006, 08:20 PM

Actually, it's only going to be four parts, the last was in previews for september.

Aztec General · 06-30-2006, 10:12 PM

I'm including Tales Vol. 2 #5.

Where I can I find these solicitations?

OldSchooler · 07-01-2006, 12:08 AM

This month's issue of previews, I'll scan 'em like I did last time.

Damien Kash · 07-07-2006, 06:24 AM

Finally got the issue
And it rocks rocks rocks!

It was the worst leo-moment I've read
Just awfull looking at his dead body...and the katana trough him

Just love those tmnt comics that doesn't "go anywhere"
every issue doesn't need a fight or the world in danger
the tmnt has (to me) always been about "real" stuff

twopinacoladas · 07-08-2006, 01:03 AM

I can agree with that, for me its always seemed like the TMNT are in the real world in NYC with no superheros etc. It seemed kinda weird when the utroms came to earth in Vol 4 and that but anyway I liked this issue it was actually better then I thought it would be in a way. Should be good and its nice to have another TMNT title for a bit

Space Lieutenant Josh · 07-08-2006, 10:40 AM

Yeah, this one was really, really good. What's great also is the story is stand-alone even though it's part of a larger series. You don't see that often enough anymore.

*VaughnMichael* · 07-24-2006, 03:36 AM

I had to read this twice so I guess this makes it a good issue.
At first I was like omg what the hell how is going to affect everything Leonardo is dead!! And it's just a day dream shesh...they got me good.
I really didn't like those scenes seeing Leo's dead body and Raph being shot wowza that was a bit much for me to read @ 3am lol.
I am enjoying this and look forward to the next issue.
