Finally started reading the second omnibus to the Mirage Comics TMNT run. Just finished the Return to NY storyline.

The issues leading up to it were a bit odd as I wasn't sure if they were supposed to cannonical or not. We've got a good one with retired super heroes, then a Tales issue that finally introduces Leatherhead, who was bad ass. After that came some random ass story about a time traveling girl or something. I have to say, that is probably my least favorite issue currently as I had no idea what the hell was going on nor did I understand its time placement. The next one with Mikey writing a samurai tale was quite interesting. Then we had one that I'm trying to figure out if it was just the brothers visiting Japan or a dream with them helping a restaurant owner. It was enjoyable. Return of NY was great, though it could have been longer. I loved how the first part had very little dialogue. It gave it a cinematic noir feel. The lone Triceraton was unique even if the way they got into the Foot base was a bit farfetched. Seeing various factions of Foot Ninja was cool and gave me more insight on the accessories the NECA figures came with, but I wish there had been a bit more screen time for the Foot. The battle with the clones felt rushed, as did Leo taking out four Enforcers off-screen, as it were. I do love the showdown with Shredder. I really hope NECA gives us an updated Shredder figure that matches this story.

Overall, so far so good. I continue to enjoy the hell out of this run. Next issue seems to have that girl with all of the clocks on her and the devil looking dude NECA just released.
