Hey, if the story is when they're older, fair game. After all, Raph wanted "brew" all the way back in the early Mirage comics days when they were younger teens....Not that I think any of them would be heavy drinkers, although Mikey and Raph might get to a silly point every so often. Too dangerous with their lifestyle to keep that kind of thing as habitual.
That said...
I am still waiting on issues 1 and 2 to come in as backorder to my comic shop. Another week or two I may have to give up and go online to order them somewhere.
But I did get issue 3. So I can comment on that issue.
Have to say Lawson scored a few points with me on the horses. He didn't do a bad job at all drawing them. And the tack was mostly accurate! And the attitude of the horse was very realistic. How they will hear something before we can, and tune to it--and if one as the rider pay attention to such things, sometimes it's useful. (And sometimes it's "okaaaay, yes, a rabbit/bird/squirrel, can we go on now? It won't eat much, so c'mon....")
The horse was mighty fine in battle!
Also the horse knowing the way home was for real, as anyone who's gone trail riding enough knows.
Or the horse taking an opportunity to munch when danger is over, if left to their own decision.
As for Leo going home to a family?
Well, clearly (and I don't have the first two issues to go by), Leo's facing a difficult time in his life of questioning his path as a warrior, as ninja, guilt for slaying a bystander, etc.--his feelings when he just slays his opponents without knowing who they are, and his being glad his swords are stolen because it's been removed from him to kill again. (But I'll bet he's going to need them to protect those people in the next issue....)
I wonder about the whole thing with Splinter perhaps sending Leo into some kind of ancestral thing? Not ancestry of blood, of course, but of "adopted" family--of Splinter's teachings? Of course, the man in the front of the comic that Leo attempts to help is anachronistic to the time period. So there's clearly some symbolisms and such going on, not just a simple "dream of an ancestor". But the point of the wife and daughter not seeing him as a mutant Turtle, or not caring. (And could there be another element of the "not seeing"?)
I'm guessing with the beginning comments by Splinter in the comic, the blindness Leo is experiencing is going to turn out to be mostly self-inflicted at this point, as in the poison used against him would normally have worn off long ago? Because he can't see in more ways than one, it's an outward symptom of what he's facing inside.
Anyway...hope I finally get those missing issues before issue 4 comes out.
Reading stuff out of order is kinda like this whole cartoon series being out of order thing....
