TMNT Vol 1 issues 16, 22,23...Horrible.
I love the TMNT but boy oh boy, these issues were horrible. Can anyone please tell me of any redeeming quality that these issues provide.

I actually liked #16, it was #22 and 23 that were poor follow-ups.

I guess I just do not understand how they fit in with the TMNT?! I tried to like them but I couldn't. The only thing I found redeemable was in issue 23 where we get to see the turtles as real turtles again in their bowl. That was neat at least. I guess not all the issues were meant to resinate with everyone.

Ahh the "Guest Artists" issues of the Mirage comics, the "Fred Wolf's European Vacation" of Mirage Books.

Ugh, I'm so tired of complaints about these issues. Dislike 22 & 23 if you must, but 16 is awesome.

I like Mark Martin's stuff. It actually begins to make more sense to me the more I read it. The artwork is pretty epic too. There are so many little fun details he sneak into every page and panel.

They're kinda okay I guess. The only thing that stuck out to me was the shortening of Leonardo to Leon.....

I can handle that better than the Mickey or Ralph we normally get.

Maybe I am biased because 16 is how I discovered the Mirage series, but I loved it as a kid. I read it over and over again, and it's probably in fair to poor condition now.

Not big on #22 and #23, if only because I feel the humor wasn't as on/charming, and it really just wasn't material that benefited from having multiple issues.
#16 though, I have to disagree on. #16 is awesome. One-hundred percent with Rose on this. Legitimately funny, totally charming, just the right amount of surreal, and a great recursive ending. One of the better one-off issues in early Mirage. |

The only ones I didn't like of Mirage vol. 1 were 38, 39, and 40. Which is weird because the same team did 34 and I liked that one.

To each his own I guess, I can't think of any of the TMNT comics that I despise, there are certainly issues that maybe aren't as enjoyable as others, but over the years the Turtles have been taken in a number of different directions with different tones, all have their place and seem to capture some part of the turtles original essence in one way or another. I love #16, and while #22 & 23 might not be 2 of my favorites, I still think they're pretty decent & enjoyable reads.

no way... These issues had a certain charm when i read them. Theyre just not my favorites. Not too crazy about the story but i still like the art. Not to mention... 16 has a wicked cover.
