Not me. They are very similar. I'd even go so far as to say that they are as similar as Raph and Casey are.
I finally got this, haven't read it yet though

My comic shop didn't have this in last week. Sometimes they are a week behind. Sigh.

Everything in this issue made perfect sense to me, except we still don't know what happened between Don and Shadow.

Great story, love me some Berger.
Like Spengler said, it was awesome how Shadow addressed her lame gothic phase and being cold to April. One gripe: Spoiler:

Well, that was certainly something special. Wow. Totally not what I was expecting, especially
Spoiler:
You can stick me in the camp of believing that Spoiler:
Although that is sheer speculation. I love that Spoiler:
Amazing art from Berger, and some lovely, very sad but awesome storytelling also. Loved it.

I am definitely going to read those two issues again, and I'll probably have to PM you because you obviously picked up on something that I missed.

This gave me so many images in my head, I actually burst out laughing.

Spoilers for anyone who still didn't read this yet...
... So why are people bringing up the idea this is an alternate timeline? As far as I can tell, this fits in perfectly with all the "future turtles" stories they've done, and brings development to Shadow and Cha Ocho's characters, as well as explains Don's situation in the Tales pieces, Raph's eyepatch, and Leo living on Earth, whereas Mike probably isn't. This pretty much wrapped everything perfectly. |

The way Renet presents the situation to Raph implies it is an alternate future, albeit the most likely one. If Raph chose not to train Shadow she would more than likely be killed by a member of the Foot at 23.
The present is left ambiguous on purpose to show while Raph realizes what the future probably holds, he still makes the choice to train Shadow so she may live. The ending is pretty poignant, knowing that Renet shed tears over the Turtles' lives and knowing how things turn out for them. I really like Renet, wish she had been used more. |

Something tells me that after reading this issue, Dan Berger could have quickly gone an issue of Tales giving Volume 4 a quick recap ending, thus pulling everything together.
If I ever had to put someone in charge of giving closure to the Mirage Universe, Dan Berger would be it. |

Reading this issue was more emotionally intense than any other comic book I had read up to that point.
Then, over the this week, I read Scott Pilgrim, and felt even more emotionally invested, and also spiritually enlightened if that make any sense. At the risk of sounding obvious, does anyone else think the future Shadow's bloodlust can be seen as some kind of statement on how killing someone as profession, whether as a soldier or an assassin , can turn a person into something truly ugly. I wonder what it says about Raph that his "gakusei" became an uncontrollable killing machine, wheras Raph's own sensei managed to raise four fairly decent people, er, turtles into the world, even if he was driven by revenge.
