What is your favorite TMNT One-Shot series?

Aztec General · 01-21-2003, 07:14 PM

I'd have to go with Leonardo's. Raph's looks really cool too unfortunately I don't have it and I can't find it anywhere.

**Karpo_007** · 01-21-2003, 08:35 PM

I think I'l go With Leo Too. Raph is my seond choice.

xZAOx · 01-21-2003, 08:57 PM

agreed. raph's is great, but leo's is one of the most exciting comics ive ever read. it had me on the edge of my...uh..page-turning-fingers? the whole time.

the use of detailed drawings for the seriousness of leo's prediciment, then the no-shaded drawings at the bottom of the page representing the rest of the gang goofing off...it was just great. the movie did a good job of portraying the feeling of that comic, even tho they switched up leo with raph.

I'd have to say Leo's, pretty much like everyone said too.

**HorseTechie** · 01-22-2003, 10:12 AM

Yah, Leo's is excellent! I think it's also well done becasue it actually tied in with the main stray arc of the comics. The others were just one shot episodes in the day of the life of a TMNT.

Raph's is also my second fav, with Mike and Don following after.

**Karpo_007** · 01-22-2003, 10:27 AM

Well Raph happends somewhere between issue 3 and 4. It might not be as close to the real story, but a very good issue still.

**HorseTechie** · 01-22-2003, 10:44 AM

Raph's Micro.. as far as I can tell definately happened before they met April, cause they were int he sewers. Mike's and Don's was when they were living with April, but before the whole foot shinigans in Leo's Micro.

*goes back to the Mirage site to see where they say the others fall*

Yeah, Raph's falls between #3 and #4. Mike's is placed between #5 and #6. Don's is bewteen #6 and #7, and Leo's falls in time with #10 (pun not intended).

Wow... yeah, that's the first time I realized Mike's Christmas bit and Leo's was that close together. (yeah, I had thought that wasn't the same season) At least they had some Christmas cheer before the spit hit the fan.

**Karpo_007** · 01-22-2003, 10:47 AM

Yeah I have always had hard time placing The Mike one shot... As For Don, It can happen anytime.

Not really... The official site lists them after original printing dates, and it's pretty clear that the Don one-shot not happens in the middle of the inter-galactic #4-7

The first Collected Book puts them in this order: #1-3, Raphael, #4-7, Michaelangelo, #8, Donatello, #9, Leonardo, #10-11.

**Karpo_007** · 01-22-2003, 10:55 AM

That seems like a good order. I have the first of those books already, Il get the rest as my birthday present.

Ahh.. yeah. I forgot about the collected book. Been yeasr since I last read that (and my mind is the oppsite of being photogenic)... makes much more sense now, it does.

I liked all 4 microseries equally. Each one has its own qualities to it.

**azure turtle** · 02-10-2003, 09:44 PM

Oh! I never got to participate in this thread! My favorite micro series was Raph's. It was great seeing him and Casey square off for the first time.
