Even more comic ramblings

rainwatersparkI started reading comics because of TMNT. Now I'm far less excited about TMNT than DC comics. (Although admittedly I'm looking forward to the Northampton arc.)
When I began reading IDW's TMNT and found myself just not really clicking with the comic, I thought it was possibly a general Western comics thing. For a long time, the bulk of my comic reading experience had been with manga, so I thought, maybe I was just having some difficulty transitioning.
Except then I started reading DC comics like Batwoman, Aquaman, Earth 2, and Teen Titans. And sure, the writing wasn't always perfect. But I became so much more emotionally invested in those series than with TMNT, which is saying something because I was already a fan of the TMNT franchise before I started reading IDW's comics.
I read TMNT #27 yesterday, and even though Stuff Happens and it's Part 1 of the big climax...I just felt bored. The only interesting part was that Leo is still "glitching out" regarding his former self, but other than that, I found it kind of dull. I honestly am not sure why.
It's weird that my reactions toward City Fall as a whole have been so lukewarm. When nothing's happening, I'm bored. When stuff is happening, I'm still bored. I should think harder and try to articulate why that is.
