LeSean · 09-09-2003, 01:43 PM

hey guys, that time of the month again, so this thread goes up
discussing DW's TMNT#4 since its hitting shelves tomorrow (today for some of you earlybirds)

what were your thoughts?

*Jephael* · 09-09-2003, 01:47 PM

Maybe I'll pick up my copy on Sunday when I come home from the shore!

*Raven* · 09-09-2003, 02:28 PM

its already out! yay!

*cqb101* · 09-09-2003, 04:26 PM

I'm gonna be picking it up after school tomorrow, yay! I can't wait! This is gonna be the best issue ever! Go Casey, go casey, go!

*Cascadia* · 09-09-2003, 06:06 PM

I will probably pick it up sometime tomorrow since I do not have any classes on Wednesdays.

*JameO* · 09-10-2003, 08:40 AM

I have a spare last period so I will be going to get it then while dropping off some applications. I can't wait for this one! It looks so good.

*JameO* · 09-10-2003, 12:49 PM

This issue was really wicked! You got to see the turtles more well just Raphael but was still wicked. Casey looks wicked as well. Very nice job LeSean. And the lines and action was just wonderful. I can't wait to see where this comic's story goes.

*cqb101* · 09-10-2003, 02:34 PM

This issue kicks ass! But, it kinda had a cliff hanger, so I guess it' gonna be continued in the next issue.

Stefano · 09-10-2003, 03:46 PM

not bad. The ending was fulflling. good art though

*Anarchistguy* · 09-10-2003, 07:52 PM

This issue was really INSANE!!! I liked Raph's moves A LOT. EXCELLENT job LeSean as always.

**Jo Dawn** · 09-10-2003, 08:20 PM

It was a really good issue. Like always.

I really enjoyed the art, great job, as usual, LeSean. And the story was awesome, too. Let's just say, an overall great issue.

*Kid Icarus* · 09-10-2003, 09:45 PM

Could Peter David get any better at what he does?

. (same goes for you LeSean

).

Great issue, as usual. I can't wait for next month's original story line though.

impetus · 09-10-2003, 10:04 PM

I'm too lazy to answer LeSean on two message boards... okay, maybe not.

I liked the bit where Raph does his take on the Hulk. After all, he's mean and green!

*cqb101* · 09-11-2003, 04:04 AM

The only thing I didn't like is how Raph just kinda appeared outa nowhere.....

Yea maybe show him just wondering and sitting on a rooftop seeing casey and coming down at him. But still very good. I cant wait till Issue 5!

Aztec General · 09-11-2003, 03:38 PM

Probably my favorite issue yet. Good art as usual Lesean. Although, I'm really waiting for #5 to see where this story is heading.

Keno · 09-11-2003, 05:02 PM

I got mine today! I would love to say that this was my favourite issue, but they've all been so good. Seriously Peter David is AMAZING and so is the art!!! This series blows me away. Next month cannot come fast enough

I loved the graffiti on the wall ... "blackout in Toronto 8/14/03" that was hilarious

lhb412 · 09-11-2003, 06:13 PM

Wow, the first four issues have all been good but I really think with this issue the series is showing signs of greatness. The dark tone, the excellent backstory and motavation for Casey (the addition of Casey having a bit of brain damage is genius) and Lesean's art, as always, is great.

impetus · 09-11-2003, 06:34 PM

But does it mean Casey didn't grow up on the farm?

I don't think so. Could be that he was there before they moved to the city.. or that the farm was his grandparents too... we'll have see what the story is on that.

I'm really satisfied with this comic too, A little more on the background Casey's father had weith the PD gang. And... is it me, or does anyone else get DareDevil vibes from Casey's story? The father who's harrassed by a gang, and purhaps also killed. Casey taking on a vengance against them and what they do, and then, suddenly realizing that he's not a hero, but a terror that others hate. Kinda cool they tie it in like that, in a sense.

But yet, in this comic it doesn't look like it's all Raph's doing to make Casey realize how violent he is. It was the reactions from the everyday people he was trying to protect from everything bad that happens. I guess, Raph's confrontation just got the ball rolling round in Casey's head.

My only complaint about this issue... some of the ways Raph was drawn in the fight scenes were hard to make out. The panel to panel action seemed choppy too. But the little 'easter egg' signs and things in the background of many panels were amusing!
