Except they completely dropped the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" part later in the volume. This was part of a prevailing later Mirage pattern&mdash;TMNT volume 4, Tales of the TMNT, the 2007 film TMNT, etc. Eventually, none were called any variation of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." I think the longer form in early volume 4 was just acclimate readers familiar with the older title, but then they shortened it, which may have been appropriate given that the turtles were already in their 30s.
