770. Nick and Fox 01: Two Raphs

I bought the new Raph more for my collection than the comic, but the more I looked at him, the more I decided I wanted to use him in the comic, so I wrote a story arc around him.
What the bigger Raphael is referring to is a TV movie called Turtles Forever. It served as the series finale for the 2003 (Fox Kids) version of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Most of the movie involves a parody (more or less) of the 80s Turtles teamnig up with the 2003 Turtles. Kinda borrowed that idea here.
Unfortunately, I just have Raphael at the moment, so he'll be the only one from the Nickelodeon series to appear in this mini arc.
