I actually worked pretty close with Gary on Urban Legends #24-26. Some of the original stuff in the scripts wouldn't have worked with Vol. 4 at all (one big thing in particular), but we were able to get everything on the right tracks.

So crazy. So 90s. It is almost like the writter was doing a satirical comedy of the turtles. But sure there are some creative decisions to find here

Anyone else think Donnie nearly dying, having his carapace shattered and being rebuilt into a cyborg in this series was an inspiration for IDW? When Donnie got his shell busted by Bebop & Rocksteady and nearly died, so he got an artificial shell to replace the destroyed one?

Honestly, I could totally see either Raph or Leo becoming the Shredder at some point. Like, if it were years after the death, or at least defeat, of Oroku Saki, and the Turtles & Splinter needed to make a truce between the Foot and Hamato Clans, so one of the Turtles decided to join the Foot Clan, ride through the ranks, and eventually take up the mantle of the new Shredder.

I actually met Frank Fosco in person at Knoxville Fanboy Expo. He gave me a TMNT Urban Legends comic, which he himself autographed.

I prefer the second ending published on idw, even with a lot of plot holes. Tang amaya is so convoluted and never mentioned in the original run, so the armor don makes more sense and natural to the story. We never saw what happened to leatherhead. Why leo and donny recovered his bodied, but the scarface and lost eye of ralph remains. I dont miss the strange romance between mike and sara i believe. Puzoreli never doing a final coup to recover shadow. Nevertheless a fun and crazy run. Thanks for this video, very nostalgic

I wonder what a combination of both endings would be like.

As a teen in the mid 2000s I grew up an animated Turtles fan and wanted to check out the series. The omnibus mirage content wasn't out and I would read about the insanity of the Image run. Sadly my comic shop only had Tales of TMNT and I had to settle for one shot random ass stories in it until IDW came around. By then I was almost in my 20s and couldn't afford issue to issue reading.

_Yikes._ I have no experience with the Image comic run, but listening to this makes me feel like Image made the story so (unnecessarily) _convoluted._ And with a lot of loose ends that never got resolved. It also feels SO quintessentially 90's; i.e. dark for no other reason than to be "edgy." Don't get me wrong... I LOVE a good dark, mature story. But _this_ story sounded ALL OVER the place. These Turtles just seem like they could _never get a break._ They're either disfigured, depressed, or (in Donnie's case) walking corpses. A little unrelated, but what stands out to me here is that the creators went into this Image comic agreement with the goal of steering The Turtles AWAY from the kid friendly, pizza obsessed teens the 1987 series had pigeon-holed them into. So Laird's later decision to sell the rights of the _TMNT_ franchise to Viacom/Nickelodeon is just... REALLY bizarre to me. And disappointing. If they wanted to bring The Turtles back to their "darker" roots, WHY sell them to a media conglomerate that deals mostly in child friendly, G - PG rated programing? It seems like The Turtles just can't escape that 1987 type-casting, and I REALLY wish they could since they have some AMAZING stories to tell that probably will never be adapted due to being "too dark" for Nickelodeon.

Peter Laird wanted to retire (it was just too much work). So that is why he decided to sell the franchise. He did his best at doing more mature stuff, with the 2003 show and the 2007 movie, but either the toy company was against it, or the critics found them too dark. So I guess probably felt like he couldn't win anyway. This story is SUPER 90s, in every aspect. It's an acquired taste really. Once you get past the initial arc, things get a little better (except for all the Image comics cameos). But it's not for everyone. It is easier to read in color (in my opinion), so if you ever want to give it a try, you can read TMNT: Urban Legends.

Idk if I agee with that. The 2003 and 2012 cartoons for me adapted stories (mostly) pretty faithfully, and the 2012 series had the perfect balance (imo) of cheesey 80's series comedy and dark comic book story telling, especially when you keep in mind the limitations of being on a kids network as you pointed out.

Hmm. Interesting. I didn't realize both endings kinda make the image run both canon and non-canon to the mirage universe (canon in that it could still sort of feasibly fit between vol. 2 and 4, but still sort of non-canon in the fact there are a few continuity errors and vol. 4 doesn't acknowledge anything from the image run. I also didn't know there were 2 endings, a fanmade one and an official one. I only knew about the official one from idw. I don't know, I kinda like the official one better, but they both sound great.

Gary Carlson was an engaging writer actually. It was a good read. I like the less depressing double death ending.

Image made great comics and the stories and writing are all there and I think is good but the TMNT are (ugly asf) and I hate that they all wore the same bandana and some of the writing and injuries the turtles faced sort of made them even more (ugly asf) and that's what I'm not liking about what I'm seeing! If they faced those injuries then make the healing power take away scars at least and give them all their distinguishable bandanas and don't make splinter a disgusting ugly bat, I hated that part too!

Well, it was a continuation of the Mirage comics, so they had to wear the same color on all bandanas (Which didn't really matter because it was in black and white). But I get what you are saying about the art, I actually had problems figuring out what was going on in every page, so when IDW added color to those pages, that became my go-to version of volume 3.
