I also don't understand the complaining about Mirage. It's B&W because that has always been a very special part of the original TMNT. It's supposed to be nostalgic. Like everyone else I agree that Lawsson's old style was much better, but current gets the job done too.

Anyone have any idea when Mirage 11 is coming out?

Get's the job done? I don't want him to get the job done, I want him to get it done RIGHT. Or atleast WELL. Everytime I look at Return to New York it just makes me madder and madder, thinking about how awesome the new book would be if Lawson would only come to his senses.

I can understand that, and I wondered why his style has changed untill his response in last issue. If he wants to draw in that style, and Laird is ok with it then it isn't going to change. The Turtles still look good, but compared to what he used to do, the over all art does not.

*looks at title of thread, then frowns at the last few posts* Let's get back to the topic of the Dreamwave comic #3, eh?

I finally picked up my copy last night, and I agree.. I do like where the series is going. Personally, I don't mind that they are not focusing 100% on the turtles. I'm at the point now I can probally tell which Turtle it is just by looking at his toe! But if you asked me what April's favorite color is, or when is her birthday... I'd have to think long and hard. So it's a good thing to know more about these other human characters than makes the Turtles lives as they are.

The BG story on Baxter was neat, as was the action sequences at the end bewteen him and the TMNT. Also thought it was fun to see the TMNT without masks. Of course, it is odd to see then still without pupils, but I guess that's something we have to live with. The have also been gifted with mutant ninja optics! But... heh, the thing that bugged me, is that while they didn't have their masks on, they still wore their weapons, belts and pads. Seems like they would at least take the weapons off with the masks, and then make us fans really sweat by trying to guess who was who.

Great issue! Looking forward to more, of course.

Yeah! The fangirls of the world DEMAND naked Turtles! We want fanservice!

Mmm-hmmm!

It wasn't the lack of pupils that bothered me about the maskless scene. It was just the fact that there wasn't really much reason for them not to be wearing their masks. It made things hard for me to see which turtle was actually speaking. Plus, that was a scene straight out of the animation, dialogue and all, and in the animation they were wearing masks. I found that change to be jarring, and it took me out of the moment. Instead of going with the flow of the story, I could only think "Why are they not wearing their masks here?"

I also found the origin sequence to be a bit tacked on. I suppose it was felt like it had to be put somewhere in the issue, and that was the best place for it. It just didn't seem natural in the flow of story telling for it to be there. It was awkward.

But these are minor points. I don't consider myself picky, I just see something good and I want to make it better.

Sayonara.

NT: It wasn't the lack of pupils that bothered me about the maskless scene..

..grr.. i think it worked cool.. you can tell who is who by shade of Turtle skin.. which i'm glad they are using in all the venues.. the turtles each got thier own shade of Green for thier skein.. Like Raph's bright green and Don's forest green.. who needs pupils.. ya got plenty to show ya who's who..

.. VERY TIGHT ESPRESSION's on Baxter Jr. ,Lesean!! .. what a super-NERD.. i also love how he got 'Trashed' ..

*Taloniss* · 08-20-2003, 05:11 PM

I'm really diggin' the backstory we're getting treated to of supporting characters. It's a really nice touch. Artwork was top notch all the way, and I kinda like the no pupils thing. It makes sense when they don't have pupils with the masks on, why would they have it with them off?

**azure turtle** · 08-21-2003, 02:25 AM

I've gotta say... I absolutely love what Peter David and LeSean are doing with the TMNT!! David's giving minor and supporting characters incredible background stories. His style of story-telling leaves me in awe, and he's got a great sense of humor. And I thought Mikey's reference to the Bond movies was pretty funny.

LeSean's art is awesome, just plain awesome. Love the raw energy that flows in the action scenes, and I like the way he makes facial expressions. The two are doing an awesome job. Keep up the good work!!

CookSux · 08-21-2003, 06:23 PM

Gah, I hate to always been the black sheep or whatever... but this issue didn't really impress me as much as the other two. I want a TMNT book, not a human book. I figure I'm not going to be too excited for this book until issue 5... isn't that when the standalone stories start? Hopefully it'll actually star the turtles. Don't get me wrong the art is great... it's just that I don't really like the format. It gets a little too hectic at times.

*cqb101* · 08-26-2003, 10:25 AM

I loved this issue. I love all the DW issues. I also really like how Peter is giving supporting characters really cool back story's. I can't wait for Casey in issue four!

i have the same feelings

*Cascadia* · 08-30-2003, 09:23 AM

this was a very good issue....I love how part of the comics show a specific character's past. it shows lots of character development.

*Raven* · 08-31-2003, 03:54 PM

I really thoughtg this issue was cool, it was cool seeing the turtles with out there masks.
