DreamWave #2 Discussion (Spoilers) - Page 2

I finally picked up my copy of the book today, and I merely skimmed through it. It was so amazing. I loved the "Mini-Me" line in there, along with Don Frued and the Raph plushie!

I got both the DW issues today (my brother picked them up from my box at the store... I hate going to that place with a passion cause it's filled with... yeah yo uknow). Hmm the art is a lot better then I expected it, partly because I wasn't sure of how the medium was going to be. But now that I see it, I like it visually... the story however could be better.

1) It's too short!
2) I know only two issues are out, but I seriously hope the the book focuses on the turtles, instead of just being a character profile book for the entire miniseries. As in, the next issue will only be about Casey Jones and have the turtles pretty much "cameo" in his story. My predictions?
-issue 3 = Casey Jones
-issue 4 = Shadow
-issue 5 = Saki himself
-issue 6 = Utroms?

I dunno, hopefully the ongoing will have original stories. The story just jumps around WAY too much IMO.

First off: This comic rocks

Second: I think the reason behind the point of view from other chracters is to tell more of the story of the eppisode. In fact, it's kind of like a compainion to their matching epps so far, scince the actual tv eppisodes showed the turtles as main chracters and the writer thinks that it would be boring to just adapt the script, so he thinks of telling a different story around the existing one. Also, scince the comics are compainions to the epps, if you haven't seen the eppisode there are gaps in the story (no problem for us guys) I wonder how comic book readers who havent seen the show are reacting.

This is how I see it as well. They're kind of "what happened during the commercials" stories. The seem to go into less detail with the main plot, and instead create various subplots that tell us more about certain characters and their motivations. It keeps things interesting for those of us that have seen the cartoon.

Me too. I can't wait to get my hands on it. I got to remember to go the day it comes out because I went two days after the second one was out and I just found one copy behind a Transformers comic. So to make sure I got a copy of it I will go the first day like I did with the first one.

Ok I have read the first 2 issues of Dreamwave's version of TMNT and I've decided that I've wasted $6.00. I am just not impressed with the stories or the length of the comic. I don't think I'll be picking up another issue unless they lower the price or I find a good deal on Ebay.

I think I'm feeling much the same. After finally tracking the first two issues down, I also feel it's too short, and it doesn't seem worth it, somehow.

I don't know why totally, for starters the comic is hardly about the Turtles anyway, and we still haven't seen Splinter!
