[@ElfQuest-Official]

Thanks for the shout-out to ElfQuest, Kevin!

[@WestCoastDAVEngers]

You're both recording comics history every time you get Kevin & Peter together, this by far the BEST documentation of anything Turtles out there. Congrats on another grand slam! Kayfabe forever!

[@Edsh4rd]

Every time you guys get Eastman AND Laird on the channel it's always a treat. I like Dave here as a co-host because it really feels like he provides that fan perspective alongside the analytical maker perspective you both provide. It's really the whole package and that's not something you get anywhere else.

[@karlbrubaker2593]

90k subscribers boys, let’s go!

[@forsakenV12]

I didn't know David Choe is a comic book enthusiast. Very nice. Great interview guys!!

[@RadioactiveMutant]

The Lennon/Mccartney of comics. Another great episode, keep up the great work guys!

[@Akhnatom]

It's almost redundant to praise this issue because the Eastman and Laird run is phenomenal as a whole, but this issue in particular is an achivement in how many things it did right. It's simultaneously a satisfying new entry into the TMNT canon with new characters introduced, it's a genuinely funny homage to superhero classics (Rene's constant cape-related mishaps, Lord Simultaneous as a Kirby-esque entity wearing a mundane-looking watch) and it's a satisfying crossover with a completely different series. You guys just nailed it.

[@fajitacologne]

Excellent episode! Great insight from Laird and Eastman. David Choe has been a great addition to these interviews lately!

[@therealmegabros]

Niiiiice!! Another great vid, saving this to the playlist. Thanx guys ✌🏾

[@NeuroSquire]

Man I love these Tmnt vids with the legends. Thanks so much for bringing this to us!

[@GrougMonner-uh6dx]

Thanks so much for keeping this series going!

[@justjamie3717]

My childhood TMNT copy was "Adolescent Bionic Kung-Fu Flippin' Fish" 😂

[@philly_634]

This was my first TMNT comic!

[@chriscovington6315]

Another brilliant episode. Mr. Choe was hilarious wearing the time helmet the whole show! A total trooper. I seem to remember that Mr. Laird has the option to publish several issues of his own TMNT each year, outside of Viacom. Can you guys leverage him and Mr. Eastman to do a few original, old school TMNT stories? Even if we got one a year that would be amazing. And Mr. Choe is 100% correct, a Rugg/Piskor comic would be so cool! Do it!!!

[@Nikoliukas]

Can't thank you guys enough for these TMNT videos

[@mjmartinejohn]

Took down my Turtles hardcovers - this is the one issue it doesn't have. Thanks for the breakdown.

[@mjmartinejohn]

Ed and Jim on a book together? Better be a wrestling one-shot.

[@alfonsolopez7154]

Awesome, been waiting for new inciteful breakdowns, never thought of this movie in this way...i also like the duality in the black and white artwork for the cover, again playing into the life/love and death theme. Thanks for all your amazing work.🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@joegrotesque]

I don't know how many people remember the 80s sitcom, "My Two Dads", but, I like to fantasize that show is my life and the Dads are Kevin and Peter.

[@philipfabiani9325]

Good discussion, guys -- RIP Ed.

[@teddybeer6206]

You guys really need to check out the 2003 TMNT cartoon. It's by far the most faithful incarnation to the comics along with the original movie.

[@stoneocean0065]

I've always wanted to compare the creators of tmnt to the creators of kinnikuman aka ultimate muscle because both had a similar effect on there countries pop culture

[@saturncrush]

I love these break downs. My heroes.

[@datawang]

Amazing interview and glad Choe was there !❤ keep up the great work yall

[@Iamthegtard]

What an age we live in, so much love for the CK boys and what this channel continues to grow into

[@kitmuntham7130]

Hi my good sirs, love the videos that you do , esp the recent Alex Ross ones. A suggestion: have you covered 'Planetary' comic by John Cassaday & Warren Ellis?

[@harness79]

Another great episode, boys!

[@anotherbeardedcomicdude2542]

Keep up the hard work boys ✊️ need vids of you digging through your personal boxes more

[@AdamRichesArt]

"Lena Sorensen from Bellevue, Washington...I looked her up, she's dead now." 💀😅

[@royorbit]

I remember buying this off the shelf in Brooklyn

[@shaundas]

hi, so playmates toys is making the turtles from Kevin Eastmans 1st sketch. can you please ask him about it the next time? also this year is the tmnt 40th anniversary i wonder if Eastman and Laird have any surprises planned...

[@Therealmrmeow]

90K!! Let's go

[@jrascoe514]

I was in 7th grade when I first saw the original Turtles comics, and the combination of art style, b&w, the genre, the character design being more on the "cartoony" side, all inspired me to the realization that not all comics had to be Marvel or DC and that I could do it. Fast-forward to 2024 and I've worked in indy comics for over 20 years now and I've even self-published my own book. I owe a big debt of thanks to Peter and Kevin.

[@necromorph238]

This right here is a beautiful thing.

[@backup.3104]

Where can I get that 1986 shirt?

[@timmearini7037]

Peter being better with computers like Donny is funny to me. Trying to show Kevin how to make art digitally and failing.

[@hobbitninja]

wow what a lineup

[@lomion79]

Never can have enough Eastman and Laird.

[@TrxOnex]

1:24:23 ...I can't wait!

[@Alex-jv4rq]

Can Dave become your third host! I love his features

[@MrSamfonseca]

yessss

[@koskazoli2841]

I've just found this issue yesterday! Is this just dumb luck, or is the youtube algorythm that good?

[@ricedreem]

This is documenting history, full stop.

[@titgobln]

Put Dave On the payroll and have him as a regular co host and guest as much as possible. The content he brings to it all is amazing. Jim Mahfood and Dave are super star Kayfabe guests.

[@themok2991]

I hate that the like button only lets me give this video one thumb up.

[@Victor-ul4qq]

Omg 🤩🤩🎉🎉🎉

[@ditkirbo]

Cowabunga 🐢👊

[@pjbrown4736]

Great conversation. David Choe weighing in is also a bonus.

[@GrougMonner-uh6dx]

Everyone watch this video twice so it gets enough views! :P

[@toomuchnewtoys]

These interviews are always awesome and David is a great addition
