The original TMNT comics are so good. It manages to be comical and silly, despite its grittiness and dark tone. The artistry is incredible and matches the vibe perfectly.
E&L were so creative with their villains. Shredder, Baxter Stockman, and the Utroms are designed so interestingly and make for such a fun read. It’s no wonder that all the characters in this early run become permanent staples of the lore.

The Raphael one shot has a bit of depth, introducing Raphael’s temper which will be another staple of the series. It also introduced Casey Jones, who has a good dynamic with Raphael.
