Speaking of turtle power, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume Hardcover was delivered to me today, fantastico! The release date on the site still says January for some reason, which is when volume 2 is out apparently.

It's a beautiful book! Huge, I've got some oversized hardcovers like the Invincible ones, this one is extra way bigger. Issues 1-7 and the Raphael one-shot, glorious.

My roommates got me the TMNT Blu-Ray box set for my birthday.

I, of course, plan on watching the first one.

And I have only seen the animated movie once so I will definitely watch that again.

But I can't decide if I should even watch two and three.

Two has some pretty funny parts I guess so I'll probably end up watching that but I haven't seen the third one since like the late nineties and I am thinking that maybe it should stay that way...

Got it from Amazon, gogogo.

I dig that blu-ray set too good stuff. Personally I love Turtles 2 Secret of the Ooze very fun flick. Turtles 3 though does put me to sleep.

Oh, believe me, it has been ordered! Even though I now own the entire original Mirage series...again.

Two is very "fun" but the lack of Casey Jones and the whole darker feel of the first one makes it like 6.5/10 for me.

The first was11/10. God tier.

Also, original Shredder >>>>> Second Shredder/Super Shredder.

Invincible is a great series to check out, currently 84 issues in. If you're more willing to delve, Savage Dragon is one of the best ever, currently 176 issues in, all written and drawn by one dude.

I also recommend Hack/Slash, and anything Frank Miller if you haven't read them, Batman Year One, Batman The Dark Knight Returns, his Daredevil stuff, Sin City, etc.

Was I the only Turtles fan that didn't care for the movies? Or maybe they just came after my time. It was all about the cartoon, though. My 4th birthday is on video and all my presents were Ninja Turtles stuff. It was my favorite thing in the world. Live action movies, though? Come on. I'll also never call it TMNT except to say that I won't call it that. F that.

I'm not looking for too many american series.

Already read Batman year one and the dark knight returns.

I've just been blazing through some Spriou, the Smurfs, currently on Les Tuniques Bleues.

I dunno, anyone here read Buck Danny? I'm sorta looking for something along those lines, already completed Blake and Mortimer stuff.

The first movie is more like the original comics than the cartoon is, but long story short Turtle Power is excellent in all its forms.

That's pretty random, plenty of terrific authors and artists there. Well, other than that I recommend 2000AD and the Judge Dredd Megazine from the UK. And there's always manga, Rurouni Kenshin, Bastard!!, Gunsmith Cats, Blade of the Immortal, One Piece, etc.

The longest running Mirage comic is called Tales of the TMNT so this opinion doesn't get you the street cred you think it does.

Probably.

The first movie >= Mirage Comics > second cartoon > first cartoon > second movie > everything ever > third movie.

Looking for a cheap way to store comics that keeps them in readable condition. I will soon have about 120 amd the bookshelf I have been using before isn't big enough for all of them. plus no more book shelf space cause they are being used on other books.

Wah wah wah. Really not looking for street cred. I'm just saying I will never call it that. They are the Ninja Turtles, or just the Turtles for short. That's what I called them when they were the hot thing and that's what I'm gonna call them now. Similar to how I don't say VHS when talking about old tapes. We called them video tapes back then, so I keep up the tradition.

I am really enjoying the new comics, although not too much happens each issue. I was liking how Don, Leo, and Mike all had different skin tones to tell them apart... But now Raph is identical to Leo so I don't know how we're supposed to tell them apart. What is the significance to them all wearing red?

Can't wait for the micro series next week.

Just looked up the Ultimate Collection volume 1 and it's apparently only 7 issues yet retails for $50. That's insane.

Fair enough, I refer to them as "the turtles" over 90% of the time as well, especially when speaking as opposed to typing.

Yes, this is true too.

The skin tone thing was nice and I agree that it is moving kind of slowly but as long as it doesn't get canceled, it's not that big of a deal to me.

What is the significance to them all wearing red?


They always wore red in the Mirage series but you could only tell on the covers since they were all black and white. The cartoon was the first one to give them all different colors.

Just looked up the Ultimate Collection volume 1 and it's apparently only 7 issues yet retails for $50. That's insane.


7 plus the Raphael Micro Series but these issues are like 40 pages each, if I remember correctly, so it's not too bad.

I was thinking about how something is missing from these to reach their full Turtle potential. Part of it was a lack of cool one-liners. There have been a few little jokes, but for the most part they've been all business. I'm hoping now that they're all reunited, there will be more fun and pizza eating.

There's still something bigger missing though. What part of the Turtles is as much a character than the main cast themselves? THE CITY! Throughout the old comics, toon, and movies, the city was a huge part of it! They were living in city sewers and hanging out with the city reporter. Reading those old comics, the gritty city around them is a HUGE part of the charm. I don't mind the origin story changing and April being a scientist, but not at the expense of them being in the city. Hopefully we see more of it coming up.

April was originally an assistant scientist-type person for Stockman.

It does kind of seem like a different focus but honestly I like it.

It could use a little more though.
