As awesome as the first issue was and this issue looks, they don't really read consistant with the main series.
Sure, Raph would bop Mikey in the Mirage or 4Kids series, but it seems so out of character for this Raphael to... which is kinda odd. lol

*Powder* · 03-20-2012, 12:09 PM

That, my dude, is a big part of why I like this book. It just screams Mirage.

*CyberCubed* · 03-20-2012, 12:13 PM

Raph slaps Mikey on the head?

What is this, the 4kids series?

*Oculus Orbus* · 03-20-2012, 12:15 PM

Loved the first issue, I can't wait to read this. For some reason I find the art to be a bit weaker in that preview, and the colors look a bit off in some panels (what's with Raph's legs in the last panel of page 3?). Still, issue 1 is my favourite IDW TMNT so far, so this is a must.

*Ninjinister* · 03-20-2012, 12:16 PM

Really? Raph striking Mikey is the big thing people take from this? It didn't even register with me.

Toby Barrett · 03-20-2012, 12:17 PM

It's not a big thing, it's just something that stuck out for me, since Raphael isn't an asshole in the main series and has gotten along really well with Mikey.

No biggie, just saying.

DarkLightDragon · 03-20-2012, 01:07 PM

I dunno. Sure Raph is more mellow with Mikey in this series, but that doesn't mean he'll tolerate everything Mikey does.

Besides, I thought it was funny.

*Samhain* · 03-20-2012, 01:57 PM

What's the deal with Leo having a black bandana on pg.6?

I get what they were going for, but the final product just doesn't work.

Like nearly blowing them all to hell/crushing them in the following cave in...? Am I right...?

I guess that's a big part of its appeal to me too.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 03-21-2012, 08:34 AM

Really dug the first one, can't wait to pick up part 2. The preview was great. What I think is cool is it pretty much fits any universe.

pihb · 03-21-2012, 12:50 PM

Picked up Issue 2 today. They had cover A and the RI was spoken for. Sad but i will read it after my run tonigh

DarkLightDragon · 03-21-2012, 02:31 PM

Got it today. Was pretty good, but there are more mask-color errors than the last one.

Toby Barrett · 03-21-2012, 02:50 PM

Well, expect one in issue 8 as well. =p

Really? I only counted one... Don wearing red towards the end.

pihb · 03-21-2012, 05:37 PM

I liked it! To me this issue was very eventful and had a great story. I really really loved the dark mysterious tone to it. I also really liked the cult aspect to it given the turtles reincarnation origin.

Heroes in a halfshell and the outside world was excluded from the events.
