"Bottoming Out" #shellshock #mirageread
Splinter sends a drunk man on a vision quest to encourage him to attend literacy programs in a story written for the fundraiser above. It's elevated by an ending in which Splinter obliquely refers to both the Turtles and the man as "sons."
Vol. 1 #4 #mirageread
The series undergoes its first little transition, delving into more serialized plots and further defining the Turtles' personalities, in the best issue since #1 (and maybe even better than it). This is also the last of the two-tone covers.
