Yup. I agree with you completely, as usual. What gives me some hope in
the direction of the Sonic comics is that the Archie version of TMNT
started out as a cornball representation of a really lame (although I
didn't think so at the time) cartoon, then, over the years, managed to
expand and have some really superb storylines, which proves that Archie can
make a gag-filled comic into something really deep. Here's hoping!
