in any event, i do agree that volume 1 is better in many respects, but volume 4 blows away volume 2.

most issues of city at war had some sort of action going on. and not all this "fight for a second a be friends" or "fight for a second and realize it was someone else" fighting we are getting in the new series.

and i still dig vol. 2 over what we currently have over vol. 4.

but people just like having the creators due to the comic, so everyone was talkign about how great it would be long before it came out. ive read only one letter that said bad things about the series - it took way too long. the guy said they could've done it in half the isseues, and hes right. but like ive said before, i prefer the slower stories. its not the story goes so slow, but they show lots of scenes as ethings go on, rather than rushing it and having every page crammed with dialouge. i like the drama.

I agree with you about City At War. It was paced just perfectly. I don't mind the fact that it was long, as long as the story was good, the characters were enthralling, and each issue had something good to offer. IMHO it was an epic masterpiece.

Well I wouldn't go as far to say 22-early 40s was bad. Veitch's "Old Man River" 24, 25, 26, Dooney's Complete Carnage and Radical story in 27, Lawson's "Sons of the Silent Age" 28 (one of my personal favorites), Farley's Vampire story 29, Veitch's Crazy Car story 30, and Zulli's series 31, 35, and 36 were all great stories. Not to mention with the exception of Zulli's they can all be considered canon. Although, I will grant you that with the exception of these issues there really weren't many interesting issues until 42.

Yeah Like I said, most of the guest artist stuff is good. Not as good as Eastman, Laird, or Lawssons' of course.

I've been thoroughly enjoying volume four. I like it's pace, and it has me wanting more every bi-month. Unfortunately, I missed issue 7 because I was ... uhm... away... and I've only been able to read the letters section of issue 8 as a result. Can't find 7 anywhere (by anywhere I mean the one place I've looked so far).

I did pick up seven issues that I needed of volume one at my local comic store. Now I only need 10 more... can't wait to read "Return to New York" (have had 19 and 20 forever, but can't find 21) and "City at War."

The 12 issue story ark at the end of volume 1. Said to be be the best TMNT ever.
