1)Trying to encourage mature discussion is not being uptight. And if you bothered to read my post, you'll notice that I encourage free speech as long as it's mature speech.
2) If people stayed on topic this board would function a hell of lot better actually. Because then we could actually have discussions. For example which sounds better to you:

Post 1: "Splinter's death was a surprise"
Post 2: "Lawson SUCKS and I HATE him. I hope he dies for drawing so bad!!!!!!!!"
Post 3: "Lawson doesnt suck, I like his work"
Post 4: "Lawson draws worse than my kid sister. Hey mods ban me!! I'm crazy and I have a big sig."
etc...

or

Post1: "Splinter's death was a surprise"
Post 2: "Yeah, I wasn't expecting it. Did anyone notice the Rat King."
Post 3: "Yeah, what was with the Rat King? Is he Splinter's guardian angel or did he contribute to his death?"
etc...

Now, naturally these are just quick examples, but which one do you think makes more sense? Well, I'll save the breath of some smart ass, the second example of course. If everyone tried to stay on topic as best as possible, and tried not to be so antagonistic, this board would function better and be more fun to discuss on.

As of now, this not the place where I want to discuss the new TMNT comics. And that is really sad, because I'd like to, and this is the best TMNT community on the internet. But, as usual a few rotten apples have to spoil it for everyone.

If you're implying that I'm one of these so-called "bad apples", well, you wouldn't be entirely wrong, but you would be if you expected me to care. Jus' sayin'.

I don't quite see how someone can hate Lawson's "style", since he's had a few... If you compare:

Any Tales of TMNT issue.
The early Archie issue with the Chameleon guy.
Return to NY.
City at War.
volume 4.

Those look pretty different to me. I love the Tales art, and I hate the Archie art (still wonder if there's some story there, was he force to draw the whole issue in a couple of days?), and I find everything he has done since City at War "acceptable" in the way that I don't see anything really wrong with it...

*Jephael* · 08-09-2003, 04:21 PM

TMNT Adventures #9 wasn't the only issue of the Archie series Lawson did. If you check out his artwork in #11 and #24, you can see that he is very good at his artwork.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-10-2003, 03:09 AM

Yanno, I'm kinda new, here, this is my first time saying anything about it, so don't try to pin it on me that people won't stop bringing it up. I'm entitled to express my opinion, I ain't gonna beat it into the ground. It certainly isn't my fault, so don't start pointing fingers in my direction. And enough with this conceited "mature conversation" crap. The fact that we're all posting on a ninja turtles board rules that out entirely. What do you want us to do, discuss the riveting article we just read in the latest New Yorker about modern art?

**Karpo_007** · 08-10-2003, 02:10 PM

Speak for yourself, level of discussion on this board is usually very high and mature.

*Dane E5R* · 08-10-2003, 07:02 PM

Dudes, he's new here. What is he just EXPECTED to know that the topic has already been brought up here a dozen times? He was just giving his opinion, and there was no reason WHATSOEVER to jump down his throat.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-10-2003, 07:50 PM

It's not even that, It's just the principle of somebody just up and trying to tell me what to say and how to act. I'm allowed to come online and goof around if I damn well feel like it. Don't try to act like you're so much more "mature" than I am just cause I don't take myself seriously.

**Karpo_007** · 08-10-2003, 11:21 PM

This board has rules, you can't always say what you want. In example, bashing any of the TMNT universes [except Next Mutation maybe

] is forbidden. There is not a rule not to bash Lawsson's art, but like said it gets old heard in every thread.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-10-2003, 11:46 PM

That's all you needed to say. We coulda avoided this whole debate if you just said "we get a lot of that, try not to brinng it up again."

**Karpo_007** · 08-10-2003, 11:51 PM

I guess you're right...

*Dr. Doom* · 08-10-2003, 11:51 PM

No hard feelings?

**Karpo_007** · 08-10-2003, 11:54 PM

None.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-11-2003, 12:05 AM

awsome -=shakes hand=-

**HorseTechie** · 08-12-2003, 10:29 AM

Yay! Thus... let's move on then, shall we?

*Dr. Doom* · 08-12-2003, 01:00 PM

Aye.

*Raven* · 08-12-2003, 01:34 PM

micheal turner hasent done any TMNT art to my knoweldge, but it would be cool if he did a issue or somthing, I mean hes my favorite all ready. So it would be cool if he did a piece on the turtles.

*Dr. Doom* · 08-12-2003, 01:47 PM

I feel the same way about Joe Madureira. The difference being we've all seen that peice he did for wizaqrd.

impetus · 08-27-2003, 09:32 AM

... and we all know that Joe Mad (as much as I love his art) couldn't finish out a comic book on time if his life depended on it. Look at the disaster that was Battle Chasers. Great book with some of the very best art in any series ever (check out the monster art!), but months and months of delays, followed by promises that he'd got on track, then more delays, then he just dropped the book in the middle of the first storyline.

Back to topic, though (and this is only in terms of artwork):
1. Dan Berger
2. AC Farley (paintings)
3. Richard Corben (guest artist)
4. Eastman and Laird
5. Michael Zulli (guest artist) everyone read The Last Temptation!
5. Jim Lawson
