Well, this was brief. In Mirage, in-story they lived over a year at the farmhouse, the first time they all lived there. And the comic spent even longer than that telling that story, with much of the "guest era" covering that period. I'm long since used to TMNT slowing down for significant periods of time&mdash;I've come to expect it. The farmhouse actually became one of the most important turtle lairs, where they all lived at least two separate times, and one of the Splinters (by Mirage Volume 4 there were somehow two versions of him, not counting Donatello's secret clone) retired there for the rest of his life.

If there's anything about the 2k12 series' handling of the farmhouse arc I don't like, it's that (1) they chose a fictional upstate New York location instead of western Massachusetts, and (2) Splinter wasn't with them, though I can understand that part being inspired by the first film rather than the Mirage comic.
