Easol1: I said "many," not "all." And really, it was only disappointing if you didn't expect it. But in any Mirage-endorsed production, the ongoing 1987 series was always necessarily going to be completely ignored at best, and only acknowledged with great disdain if at all. Kevin Eastman might have been able to come to peace with it as he got older, but Peter Laird never seems to have been able to, and judging by his TMNT blog over the years, he still never has. I think that, by 2009 when the sale happened, it was clear that Mirage was never going to continue being able to be the paramount arbiter of licensed TMNT material without constantly clashing with many among a very vocal 1987 series fanbase who wanted something Mirage was never going to want to give them.
