Actually, it's more like "Deeeeeeeeeeeeeewd!"

And I was holding out hope that the next Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film adaptation might be good. Unfortunately, the So-Cal surfer accents, the peppering of dialogue with "DOOOOOOOOD" after every sentence, and an obsession with pizza seemed to have been preserved from the old cartoon series, based on the latest trailer. Oh well. At least the animation still looks good.

I had little hope that this movie wouldn't suck when I first heard about it. Now there is none.

I can't blame Eastman and Laird for "selling out." As I understand it, there is no money to be made in indie comics (or mainstream, for that matter). Heck, I would have done the same if I were in their position back in 87' or whenever it was.

And honestly, as I remember it, the original TMNT stories weren't all that great to begin with, and the later issues were pretty weak. They were simply novel at the time, and helped to open the way for other, better, indie comics, and then forced the big two to up the ante to retain the market.

I still like the Adolescent Radioactive Blackbelt Hamsters. I think I still have a few issues of those.
