When I first heard there was gonna be a new TMNT monthly I honestly thought ok another crappy TMNT comic (Nothing to me could live up to the orginal Eastman &Laird comics from the 80s) like throughout the years of other people picking up the title and not rrly doing anything exciting but i was wayyyyyyy wrong soon as i opened it and started reading to the 2nd or 3rd page when i showed Raph all alone and rouge turtle im like ok then further into the book when it started showing new orgins for Baxter Stockman and April O'Neil and not automatcally douseing the Turtles w/ ooze and Shredder but showing them as pets in Stockmans Labs i will look foward to more great issues i poud to say my pick of the week its what a TMNT comic should be
