After my sister and I saw Scary Movie 3, it was only a little after 4 in the afternoon and we had time to spare before getting Mom from work. I drove over to a comic book store in San Marcos to pick up issue #5. The guy couldn't find it for me and I almost left when another guy followed me out and waved it to me! It was hiding behind some comics and was looked over. So, I got to sit and read it at Mom's work.

I thought it was great, too. Not a lot of action, but so what? I'm glad to see them going off on their own stories. I remember I kept saying to myself, "No, Raph! What are you doing?" every time he showed himself to someone! The interactions with the little girl were cute. Calling him "Raffle" Awww! The mom called him "Rifle" to the shrink and the guy thought he was carrying a rife! Too funny. Did anyone think the mom slapped her daughter when there was a distant *wap* sound? I did, and Raph did, too. Good thing it was just a fly she was trying to swap, I would hate to read about child abuse.

Oh, there was a picture of LeSean at the end of the issue. I showed it to Mom after reading it and said, "Mom, this is the guy I met at the San Diego Comic Con!" and she was like, "Oh, that's him? He's CUTE!" Hehe, yeah, I thought so, too.

And didn't the Turtlenator remind anyone of Cyborg Don at all, especially with the one robotic red glowing eye? One of the mousers looks like it's chewing on one of Mike's chucks, not Leo's katana. From the looks of it, though, they'll probably be feasting on more than just one weapon of theirs anyway. Can't wait to read it...and see it!

I'd like to know what the obsession is with having the guys beat people up every issue and that anything other than bloodshed is boring. Is this a guy thing? I like the emotional exploration stories that fill in details of character - there were a lot of those in the old comic series as well. Poor Raph. The stoyline may have jumped a little fast in places, but I liked the overall gist of the plot. I hope this sort of story gets done with all the characters.

Fear not, I'm sure there'll be plenty of gore with the Turtlenator story.

Hey LeSean - great work as always - I especially liked the art in this issue.

Stefano · 11-09-2003, 05:57 PM

when does the next comic come out. This wendsday? I hope

*JameO* · 11-12-2003, 06:14 AM

I am not sure Stefano. I think I heard sometime in the November 20's. Like 23rd or 24th. I am not sure though. DreamWave seems to get stuck on a month behind on their website.

Peanut · 11-12-2003, 08:22 AM

I don't see why everyone gets offensive because I said the comic had no action. I don't always want action. It takes much more than action to make a good story, but I personally thought the story was kinda weak and weak stories need to be made up for with action, which there was none to speak of. I have a feeling it will get better though. The first 4 issues were great and LeSean is just amazing, so it can only get better. I can't wait for the Turtlenator!

[edit: I just found the release for the TMNT TPB which is the week of November 19th. Which means no sign of #6 this or next week. My guess is it'll be coming out the week of Nov 26.]

Brinatello · 11-12-2003, 11:21 AM

Wow, that's pretty late for the issue, but I'll still look out for it. As for #5, I know there was hardly any action, but I thought it was still great. The TMNT are always considered action-packed thrills and such, so it's nice to see them in a calm, expressive manner at times, like we saw with Raph and the little girl. Guns didn't need to go off, explosions didn't have to occur to make it worth reading. Yes, it was weak as far as action went, but it was still a good issue. Had a lot of important points to it.

**azure turtle** · 11-12-2003, 11:43 AM

I finally got to read this ish yesterday, and I loved it!! I know it didn't have a lot of action going, but I think Peter David's really amazing when it comes to characterization. I liked how he explored the whole "live in the shadows" aspect of the TMNT. Raph, out of all the TMNT, seems to be the most bitter about having to hide from everyone. I'm glad he got to explore a little in this issue, and I thought it was hilarious how things got worse whenever he tried to fix them. And LeSean's art was incredible, as always. Can't wait for the next issue!

Yeah.. I guess DW is juggling around dates again, between the Capcom and TF issues they also put out. It used to be the second week of every month for TMNT.

But I also agree that I like how Peter Davis is taking the time to explore the psychological workings of the TMNT too, before rolling back into a round of action. It's like a way for himself and us the readers to get a grip on who is who.

*Buslady* · 11-12-2003, 09:35 PM

i liked it. so what if there's no action, not every story is gonna be kicking people's butts all the time. the guys would probably prefer not to fight all the time.

i need to catch up on the mirage stuff....
