In my opinion, it's the best TMNT story in any medium. It combines the best elements of all incarnations with a great focus on story and character.
The only problem is that the trades are quite small.

I have no clue who the fuck Ross Campbell is. As soon as I read Joe Keatinge in your post I tuned out. You could've been writing the path to enlightenment and superstardom but as soon as I see Joe Keatinge. Nope, not making that mistake again.
Sorry, my bad.
Sometimes I get lazy and don't read the posts I missed, yours was among them...

So teen titans is going the X-factor route?

I honestly doubt it. It seems more like a cute way to send the book off and it'll never be mentioned again.

Hahah thanks guys. You know, I actually remember looking at the first trade when it come out and not being too impressed with the number of issues to price ratio, I think that put me off. Most of them have been fairly discounted now at least. Thinking about grabbing the first couple to see. As much as I love Campbell, everything has to work for a book to be worth a spot in my collection.

This whole concept of a good turtles story is incredibly relative though innit? It is good compared to non-turtles books as well, that's the real question.
Although i had no idea Campbell was on it so I might well check it out, he is so damn good.

You need to stop writing in paragraphs. Or highlight the question you're asking.
I gloss over long-ish posts unless they're being quoted multiple times in which case they
might require closer scrutiny.

Speaking of which, what are some good sexy comics? Asking for myself.
Don't say Sex Criminals. I don't wanna read Sex Criminals. I've read some good sexy time stuff in comics and it's kind of the perfect blend of all great things in life.
Are Becky Cloonan's self-published things sexy? 'Cause the sketches she posts on Twitter are hot.
Sexy.

I was going to read all those replies, but settled for just watching this for the time it would have taken.
Sex, by Joe Casey Maq? Maybe some Howard Chaykin stuff? I haven't read any of these though.

This is a favourite topic of mine and I've gotta say, there ain't much that I can think of from atop my head.
Do a google on Giuseppe Manuta for starters - I've no idea where/how to buy his work but it's incredible, like a dirty Jill Thompson.
The recent Howard Chaykin series Black Kiss 2 was pretty pornographic, excellent art there as well.
But tbh the crossover between comics and sexytime seems to be fairly well hidden, if anyone knows more resources I'm all ears.
I'm currently reading Sex but it's more of a look into someone who is psychologically damaged than a stroke rag. Great though.

I know you dig Graham, so you've read Multiple Warheads, right?
Satellite Sam is not sex-averse, but most of it sad and depressing.

Ah yes, I knew there was something I was forgetting! Multiple Warheads is great and has teasing glimpses of sexiness, but that black and white prequel book he did is the real deal. Amazing filth.

Some of my favorite sexy comics are:
Girls (Horror with sexual elements)
50 Girls 50 (Only beautiful women can use wormholes in space because reasons)
Empowered (Because obv)
Black Kiss (Raunchy smut)

I read the first 5 issues of Sex (why? WHY???) and hated it so much. Thanks for reminding me though, I gotta get those books out of my house.
I'll look into Manuta, thanks. I've seen some Chaykin pages. They look good but I get squicky sexist vibe from a lot of his stuff.
Yeah. I love Graham and MW. There's some sexy fun.

Empowered looks really fun, but it never really goes beyond Carry On movie level intensity does it?
The comic sequel to the Dredd movie has been released
Woah, look at the picture behind her. Olivia Wilde's beauty is morphing time & space

Brandon Graham also has some really funny porn comics that are pretty great. Google and you will find some examples, or just check out his blog.

Uncanny Avengers is continually redefining epicness.
Remender and Aaron have transformed Thor into one of my favorite Marvel characters.

Reread Red Mass For Mars today, for the first time in ages. Jesus. I love Hickman but damn his stuff has become much more digestable in recent years haha. I really really like it though, and do think his earlier writing was a bit more unique for how dense it felt and style he used. The plot itself is fine, fairly simple, a little bit of a superman analogue with characters who clearly represent Batman and Wonder Woman, but that's really in the background, not really the focus of the work. It's really his style of writing and the majesty of the art though that gets the book over. The general moment to moment panels are fantastic, even if it doesn't make too much sense or have much meaning overall. I look forward to Secret finally finishing, I like Bodenheim a lot.
Might reread Transhuman (which I remember liking A LOT) next or The Red Wing, which I think is a good spot between Red Mass and his more recent Manhattan Projects/East OF West stuff. Still a little confusing but better. I do think East OF West is where he truly masters the art of telling his crazy scientific/world building stories and purposefully obfuscating things to make it mysterious for the reader oppose to just making it confusing to keep things mysterious, but still.

DAT HICKMAN, AMIRITE?
For you guys that dig uncanny avengers as it is today...do you say this having enjoyed the first arc? Like, at all? I absolutely hated the style of writing Hickman went for with the first arc, and also didn't think the art was great (this was a very minor thing compared to the heavy handed writing though).

Aw, I have them all man, the whole run of his Image books, I absolutely adore them. I haven't reread any of them in quite a long while though, probably a year, so this is me dragging them back out. You're right though, I really like The Nightly News. It's kind of incredible to read that and imagine he ended up doing the Avengers and the marvel flagship event this eyar haha. I hope Feel Better Now comes out this year, I think TNN & Pax Romana really stand separate to his other stuff, it'll be interesting to see what *modern day* Hickman doing that style of book comes out like.

Mark Millar just described Starlight as Buzz Lightyear meets Unforgiven. Parlov only on book for six issues. Kickass, Nemesis and all that other trash all tie into Millarworld. Woah wowah wow.
He's been promising that his stuff will tie together for years. the speedster book for Image was supposed to be with Ashley Wood was going to form the basis of his shared universe years ago. I wonder if this new book with Fegredo reworks "Run!"?

Another great Uncanny Avengers issue.
At least we have one avengers book that hasn't been spoiled by Deodato, Larocca or Nick Spencer.

Im telling you, if you that creative teams and swticheroo was bad, wait until they get ahold of the Star Wars license. You'll have brahs like Frank Cho and Lenil Yu drawing like a quarter of several issues and Charles Soule writing every book with Avengers in the title so that Bendis can do his speak with Star Wars. Daigobah like you've never seen it before!
I'm afraid I'm one of those people who falls for the hype. I did enjoy Secret Service though. Don't think there was too much rape going on in there just a lot of woman beating.

Mark Millar getting his idea from manatees makes a lot of sense
This is actually what I was wondering. I see there are quite a few trades available, and I'd be willing to give it a try if it's regarded that highly.

You mean Remender right?
But yeah, I didn't really dig UA until the issue following the first arc. The first arc was all over the place and not really my thing.
