User blog:Gilgameshkun/Guest Era: The Series!

I was wrong. Very wrong. Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is not Teen Turtles Go! Sure, its episodes are mostly 15 minutes long. Sure, it's an almost total comedy. But the animation quality and witty banter are too good to compare it with Teen Titans Go! If anything, it's more like the Mirage TMNT Guest Era back in the late 1980s, when guest creators often went completely nuts writing stories with little or no continuity with the rest of the series. So if you think of this entire series as one big Guest Era story, then it works.

Here are some of the weirder scenes from the Guest Era, including Guest Era-style short stories in contemporary Mirage publications:
