This is what I hate about modern classics, they get sequels that totally cheapen and overexpose the one trick beutey of doing it only once over.

If I "hated everything" I would'nt be calling the previous story this one is cashing in on a classic. Once again, you fail to assume to know me at all.

I can see what you mean, running the good idea into the ground. But Lawson's new art sucks in my opinion so I think it's nice he's paying service to the people who did like that issue of tales by making a few more comics in that style.

I don't mind at all.

[TheShowstoppa]

Actually Spitt, I think only the first comic is going to revolve around that same kind of art. Leo will get his sight back around the end of the first or in the second comic. The purpose of the comics are to show Leo's dealing with himself after the murder of an innocent person. That's his Blind Sight.

Plainly, BRING IT ON!!!

[Coola Yagami]

why can't they just draw the turtles well...? I mean... are they really THAT hard to draw without makin em look all weird and deformed?? Geez, at least try to go for the classic Eastman/Laird look or the new toon look or something...

[R-iZZy]

LOL! Lawson just can't get any love for his Turtle design, anymore.

No, he still hasn't earned my nods of approval for his Turtle designs. But I'm definitely digging the idea of this arc and I'm sure it will bring forth why Leo is the best amongst his brothers. I'll be impatiently waiting for Wednesday.

[Aztec General]

Wow!!!!

Fantastic issue. This 5 issue mini-series is exactly what I'm in the mood for right now. This issue was really cool and next issue looks even better. Also I think critics of Lawson's art will be pleasantly surprised with how well he draws humans in this issue.

An amazing follow up to Tales Vol. 2 #5 (which was one of the best Tales issues to date). I can't wait for the rest of the series.

Pick this up now!!!

Got this issue today...MAN! Awesome!!! Jim Lawson rox! I don't care what anybody says!!!

The story is great. It deals with Leonardo trying to figure out his goal in life. He thinks of what would happen if he dies, either accidentally or suicide.

Mikey tries to cheer him up...even offering him a beer.

All and all a great start to this series.

[R-iZZy]

Definitely a nice beginning issue. I'm glad Lawson told us more than just Leo is depressed. He gave us the inner-thoughts of what was swimming through Leo's mind to further emphasize how deeply effected he is, at the moment. Anyway, great way to start the mini-series out.

[blue_angel99]

Poor Leo!! I hate to see him suffer. I was able the last one my comic shop had!! . Is it me or are the most popular TMNT issues the real angsty one? I don't like reading angst too much but since we all know he gets his sight back, I can read this no problem.

After reading this I figured it must be the reason most people like angst

[BartAllen]

My local shop doesnt carry and of the TMNT books anymore. I guess I can go the route of mile high comics.

[cormano]

this was pretty good. i can't wait to see how lawson gets leo out of this mess.

Here's the review I wrote:

TMNT Tales of Leonardo: Blind Sight #1: Picking up where Tales of the TMNT vol. 2 #5 left off, Leonardo has been blinded by a vengeful Foot Soldier. Don is trying to find a cure, but things look bleak, while Leonardo copes with his condition and reevaluates his place amongst the team. Do they really need him? This is sort of an “It’s a Wonderful Life” kinda fake-out, though far more violent. It also doesn’t help that a similar “What if” story was done for the TMNT 2003 cartoon. Blind Sight is a 4-issue miniseries, and there’s lots of story-potential, but this particular issue was just Leo having an emo-fest. While watching the TMNT get slaughtered is fun, in a way, it doesn’t really go anywhere.

[jestergoblin]

Grah! I fell for it at first!

Really good issue.
