Get both.

The problem for me is that I much prefer Archie's characters over the Mirage characters, but I prefer Mirage's darkness, art, plots, and dialogue over the "kiddified" Archie stuff.

I also recommend both.

Greed · 03-13-2003, 10:44 PM

Yes go with both

Good point, indeed. Get both

I strongly suggest getting Mirage. It's the original and IMHO the best. It's also what the new series, first movie, and the Dreamwave comic (most likely) will be based on. Mirage is quite dark, violent, serious, with strong characters; but it also has a great sense of humor and fun.

Yeah. Archie could be considered the old cartoon with plot.

Supermik · 03-14-2003, 02:01 PM

I like Archie Comics because are very similar to the old cartoon.

You have to think that in Italy we don't know what are TMNT comics...

I always found the Archie books more to my taste, but they were also the only ones I ever read until like two years ago. Stores in my area never carried the Mirage book when it was out, and only one or two have TMNT back issues. Well, just one now... I cleaned out the other place

Of course, thanks to the wonders of Ebay and back issue hunting, I now have almost every issue of every Turtles series!

So do what I did if you can and get both. You can't go wrong, it's TMNT.

mirage

In Germany we only had Archie #1-31 and Mirage #1-11 + the Leonardo-Microseries.

However, I loved Mirage!! I really felt betrayed, when I first read one of them, because it was so different (and so much better IMO) than what I have thought to be the original TMNT. I also loved Archie though, it was like a more serious version of the cartoon with real plot (a bit like the new cartoon). Unfortunately, the German translations of both were cancelled very soon.

Well, if you want to be cured of your ninja turtle affliciton, get the image series.
