I was particularly impressed by the big chase in #3. It's obvious that you guys spent a lot of time planning it out and it definitely works. I liked the way each action flowed logically into the next (you don't see that too often in comics), the different points of view, and the frequent cuts from close-up to mid-shot to far shots.
I also like the fact that each turtle specializes in a different weapon. It reminds me of a TV series that was a favorite of mine called Kage No Gundan II in which each member of a ninja group in feudal Japan used something different. It makes them more like individuals, and I see you're starting to develop their personalities as well. Take care and keep up the great work.
