I wonder if Hun might make his Mirage debut in this issue? That could be an interesting angle for Casey's origin.

IT'S OUT!!!

And no, guys, no Hun cameo.

I must say, this issue had me worried--but it kicked butt!!!

Splendid writing, splended ending. I actually forgot that there was a twist ending. Remember: "Or do we?" Well, this did not let me down at all. I loved it!

Good job, Black!

The only thing I feel I should say is that the art wasn't my favorite. However, that's just because I'm so used to the styles of Jim Lawson and Frank Fosco.

And best of all, we finally got to see what Torchy's looks like!

*Andrew NDB* · 08-08-2007, 06:58 PM

Crap, it IS out! I thought for certain it would be out next Wednesday, but that shows what I know.

Have it in my hand right now, seems to be quite sufficiently badass, and gets pretty deep into Casey Jones' head for a minute. Will post a proper review later tonight.

Looks good, Jake & Diego!

*Ninjinister* · 08-08-2007, 11:33 PM

Holy cheese on rye! Looks like I need to stop by the comic shop this weekend to nab it and #36.

Time Mistress · 08-09-2007, 08:31 AM

Just read it. Another good issue. Nice twist at the end.

*Scandia* · 08-09-2007, 05:24 PM

I was late to a training for work due in part to my going out of the way to buy Tales 37. The place was hard to find anyway, I had a panic attack, and had to call various people to locate it. Nobody questioned me about it and I hope to not be in trouble.

Anyhow...

No wonder Donatello was the one telling this tale. Why? Because Casey combined Raphael and Michelangelo to describe how he was...and made Davy be just like Leonardo!!!

Time Mistress · 08-10-2007, 02:00 PM

Yeah, it was odd to hear Casey talking about a brother since we'd never heard of one before. Reading this issue my mind drifted back to the TMNT movie I'd just watched and Casey's line about "if it were my brother, I'd find a way to work it out." So I wonder if he wasn't drawing some inspiration from the Turtles too.

It was also funny to hear Donny mention Jung and Myers-Briggs and personality testing. Don - "These are the sort of things I like to think about." Apparantly, us fans do too since we've had topics trying to pin down the Turtles personality types before.

I almost skipped thru Don's psychology lesson. I was like "Oh hum... learned this in high school pyschology class..."

But yea as soon as Casey said he had a brother named Davy I groaned and wondered why his parents would do that to a kid.

But yea... it was a good story all the same even tho we didn't really find anything out (other than Casey's dad being in the military). The artwork was pretty ok. Casey looked a bit like what Wolverine looks like currently in Wolverine Origins.

*Ninjinister* · 08-10-2007, 03:41 PM

Is Casey's dad's name mentioned, like it was in the cartoon?

Nope... His folks weren't mentioned at all. Heck Casey saved this gay guy from thugs and we never even found out what HIS name was.

TristanHuwJones · 08-10-2007, 05:00 PM

His name is Jim.

CONTRADICTION ALERT! CONTRADICTION ALERT! ERROR! ERROR! (Powers down)

Their names weren't mentioned but they were there. Casey told uh Jim that he and his dad didn't have that good of a relationship. But Im not sure WTF to believe of that story. The only actual info learned was that his dad was in the army (altho in the Dreamwave series he's a former Baseball player)

But if you want his dad's name it's Arnold Casey Jones sr. At least in the 2K3 series: This is his grave marker (Casey visits it in the ep Dragon's Rising):

However in TMNT Vol 1 #61 Casey's mom mentions to April that her husband's name was Herb and that he had died 25 years earlier.

*Roseangelo* · 08-10-2007, 10:49 PM

Given the "twist" at the end of the story, I really just didn't get the whole point to it.

*Andrew NDB* · 08-11-2007, 12:54 AM

Is it possible a large amount of it was written/drawn, then Laird stepped in and insisted on the twist? I have no idea.

That's the exact impression I got. It just feels like Jake submitted his story, it got accepted, and then Peter got wind of it and decided, "Oh no, can't let any of this actually be true, lemme add a 'twist!'"

I hope Jake feels better about it than I do.

Actually, if I remember correctly Jake originally said that Peter wanted to add the twist. But he could have written it somewhere else and then this was a completely different post. I don't have a very good memory.

But if what I'm saying is true, maybe I shouldn't be writing this, but I'm gonna go Mulder on you. O.o

Fledermaus · 08-11-2007, 09:27 AM

Hm... Haven't read it, but I did read the comments here and apparently this whole thing is made up.

Meaning we don't really get to find out Casey Jones's origin? Is that true? Because maybe that's not such a bad thing?

Geesh. First werewolves and now this. Soon, we'll start seeing my characters popping up in TMNT comics.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-11-2007, 11:21 AM

Ya know.. I was thinking and realized that the whole comic is a contradiction from previous Mirage books:

In Tales 37 Casey is raised by both is parents and being a typical teenage boy doesn't get along with his dad.

Spoiler:

.

Whereas in TMNT vol 1 issue 61 Casey's mom tells April that her husband had died 25 years earlier and she had raised Casey alone (course then his name was Herb instead of Arnold Casey Jones sr.)
