Mirage Volume 4 - #14 Discussion (Spoilers)

[raphael_is_cool]

I found it quite interesting, and on the 2nd read I actually noticed April's hair had grown back

Raph's story sounds interesting, I guess those are xenophobic guys that are out to attack aliens but why did they attack those girls in the park?

And Don's and Leo's stories are very interesting

Plus Peter Laird's little story about the Segway incident was amusing...not a good job to rile this guy up...

[Buslady]

Argh not enough about Raph...my only peeve. Yeah so, they're trying to figure it out...is he 'there', can he think or is he completely screwed in the head?

I hope he gets out and causes a few problems..maybe he's sane enough to search out those damn vamps and he kills them.


Watch Mikey fall for the princess chick....


Interesting how Mikey and Leo wished Donnie was around for his brilliant mind...

[Lord Nightwalker]

Man..I can't wait to see where Pete's going with this vampire story.I allways wondered how the vampiric infection would effect the Ninja Turtles. This has tons of potential...And they are doing such a good job on this new series. I'm in for the long haul.

I think the logical explanation for April's hair growth is that she was in the past for quite some time. But who knows.

As for the vampires, they attacked those girls in the park because they're vampires of some sort. They attacked Raph because they thought he was an alien, and wanted to try something different. I wonder whether they're having a reaction to his blood?

And for those of you having trouble getting issues...My comic book store had a hell of a time getting #13. There was some sort of distribution problem here in Portland. They had to call all around time just to find one issue for me. I subscribe to TMNT and Tales of the TMNT through them, so I get each issue automatically, but #13 was almost an exception!

[Wes]

Holy crap, there are vampires in a Turtles comic??? I must get this...

I want those vampire boogers to suffer! Make them grow a shell as see what it's like to look different or maybe turn them cold blooded so they have to be forced to hibernate hahahah....

[Kali]

I also wondered how the vampires reacted to Raph's blood. We've seen Raph's reaction, it would be interesting to see the vampire's. It would be funny to see a vamp stumble into the alien embassy, claiming that an alien made it sick.

I knew why April's hair had grown back I was just saying that I only just noticed it the 2nd time

From what the scientists were saying I'm not sure if they really were vampires is what I'm getting at. Since all the time they seem to be saying they're not (Raph says so, all the scientists are saying 'vampire' attacks) and they're out walking in daylight

One mentions that what Raph has is some virus thingy and that the 'vampires' may be part of the Xihad (think that's them) that doesn't like aliens (or outsiders..so they're 'xenophobic')

[HorseTechie]

Heck... I suddenly noticed inthis issue, they like females with short hair. Even Renet looked like she had some kind of mullet now!

But I'm totally intriqued about April, and what she went through. I mean, her hair is longer and clothes different when she came back from time. Huh?

Looks like Don found some mutant trees...

And with Mike, why do I keep on thinking about that "three horn" girl dino from Land before time when I think aboutthose aliens?

Leo's behalf is also strange. I think the new enemy the Foot was dealing with... didn't we see someone like that earlier, when Mike slipped in the snow and passed out in the alley? (has to go back to compare)

Those dudes also remind me of angels (like in Dogma), cause they have no gender! But I'm not getting the deal with the drilled US coin, that sayz President Gore. Is that Lairds way of saying the dude is from an alter-future reality where they reminted the coins after more modern presidents? And why isn't their a year on it?

[impetus]

Remember the scene from THE ONE where President Gore is on TV? That was the first thing I thought of....

[Lord Nightwalker]

Hey Wes! There were vampires in an earlier Turtles book too! It's also in the sixth collected book, I think. Farley did the art in it and the vampires were trying to bring a very "Lovecraftian" monstrosity through a gate way.

[jestergoblin]

I was just able to get this issue yesterday, my local comic book shop isn't near anything.

I wish each story was progressed by more than 4 or 5 pages!

As for April, I think she was transformed into her mother, but that's just a guess.

And the president Gore thing... *whoosh*

[Jephael]

I'm very interested to see where the story about the Foot killers with the Al Gore coins will be going. I can't help but wonder if it has something to do with Renet's former master.

[Stefano]

i finally got my issue today. I had to order it from mirage along with number thirteen. Man i love these comics. Im just as confused as every one else. Remember back on issue 11 or 12 or somethign it had weird designs in the inside front cover. Laird said it was interdeminsional stuff. He said it was just a rough graphic of it. so looks like theres gonna be some interdementional stuff

[Cascadia]

it left us with many cliff-hangers which is awesome....It always has us asking questions in our minds and on the boards.

[Stefano]

the plot twists are unpredictible. I have no idea whats up with aprils past

[Jephael]

I'm pretty sure that they'll be revealing that to us very soon.

[Stefano]

i know im just saying its hard to predict what will happen

[Aztec General]

Well, I finally got it today. I had to order it from Mirage becaue for some reason my comic shop did not get it.

I loved this issue. This series is turning into a mystery novel. I'm most intrigued by Leo's story the most. I'm also pretty curious as to what happened to April.

You could always try comic book order places like New England Comics, Mile High Comics, Westfield Comics; etc. They have comic "catalogs" that you can order them from. Try it. I've ordered stuff from them over the years, and found them to be VERY reliable. The only slight wrinkle with THEM is that they all have a minimum order requirement, which ranges from $10.00 to $15.00 or so. And that ISN'T including the shipping and handling, unfortunately.
