The micro series dedicates one issue to each turtle and in Raphael's issue they show how he met Casey jones (Which is basically the same as in the movie) and that's why he comes to their rescue in the antique store.

@@elijahfordsidioticvarietys8770 That's because each Turtle got his own "series." Raphael #1, Michaelangelo #1, Donatello #1, and Leonardo #1. All of these were one issue and they all took place in between issues of the main series. I don't know why James' books have Leonardo #1 but not the others, especially since they introduce each of the turtles' individual personalities. If you were wondering when they take place chronologically here you go: Raphael #1 takes place in between issues 3 and 4 of the main series; Michaelangelo #1 takes place in between issues 7 and 8; Donatello #1 takes place in between issues 8 and 9; James already said in the video that Leonardo #1 takes place before issue 10. Interestingly, the Fugitoid has his own "one issue micro series" that shows his backstory from his perspective rather than as exposition; it takes place in between issues 4 and 5 of the main series.

For those worried about the story abruptly stopping, don’t worry. While its not included in the compilation, there is a “return to New York” story arc where the turtles beat Shredder once and for all.

As for all red bandannas or signature colors... I honestly like the signature colors more. Hell, it would be awesome if they pulled a Star Wars: Clone Wars where the movie is the pilot & then we get a TV series which follows the same continuity.

It would have been awesome to introduce Baxter Stockman and the Mouser robots in the second movie. You could follow the storyline of Splinter being captured by the Utroms, then have the turtles transported to the Triceraton world at the end of the film. It would be a cliff hanger leading into part three, where the turtles would battle the Triceratons in a tournament (Beyond Thunderdome style). They team up with Fugitoid, get back to earth, reunite with Splinter, then learn the nature of their origin from the Utroms.
