Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #14
Authors: Peter Laird & Kevin Eastman
Rating: 1.5 of 5 Stars
Genre: Comics
Pages: 51
Words: 2K
Everyone is hanging out in Casey’s old hometown. A bronze cow is stolen from the roof of a convenience store and Casey decides to solve the case. Turns out the cow is solid gold and a national treasure of Slavakia. An unscrupulous businessman is trying to buy it and the Feds are on the case. While Casey, with help from the turtles and April, bumbles about like an idiot.
Yep. I’m done. This was stupid and idiotic. Casey is just dumb and the turtles do nothing to make him smarter but simply enable his stupidity. Plus, we have ninja turtles and all the authors can think of for a storyline is a gold cow? It’s not even bad, it is worse, it is banal.
I’ve got a marvel comic I want to try next, so that will be coming later today. I figure there’s no sense wasting time and waiting until next month.

The golden calf sounds kind of biblical.

You’re right!
This was so badly done that that thought never even crossed my mind, and it really should have. One more reason to stop this series before I go crazy…

Going for the Web of Spiderman. If vintage 80’s Spiderman can’t work for me, I might have to hang up my marvel hat 😀

No worries.
Depending on how work goes today (it’s snowing right now), I will probably retroactively add your link to the review. That way you don’t have to worry about trying to get the review out on a time table.

A golden cow would be cool if you had one in your garden. I’d have one anyway. 🙂

Well, as long as thugs weren’t trying to kill you for it, right? 😀

Quite sad and unfortunate. I’m way less tempted to check out this original run… I think I’ll stick to continuing on with the rebooted series which hasn’t failed me so far…

I’d say you have the right idea. This original stuff is utter crap…

I guess a gold cow is worth its weight in gold, but it sounds pretty worthless in this series.

It was just bad story telling. Very lazy, no effort and nothing exciting. All unforgivable in a comic about mutant ninja turtles 😀
