would love for the next panel to show him accidentally hitting her in the head and knocking her out.

Man, I LOVE Mikey here. His expression is perfect, and I love everything about his pose, his expression, his presence in general has this hyperactive energy to it that fits his personality so well.
I think including April in the composition made that even stronger -- she's a little calmer, so she provides a good contrast to Mikey's craziness.
I like April's expression -- her eyes and the kinda quirky smirk are fun. I think her pose is a little more awkward than Mikey's, though. But! I think your linework here is pretty dynamite -- the lines on Mikey and April both all have a good sense of energy to them that reinforces the energy of pic as a whole.
Awesome job, man.

Great to hear! Especially since I, y'know, focus on the expressions first and foremost.

Aw, why do the girls always go for the crazy guys? Nerds like Donatello need love to! (Chuckles) Seriouslythough, awesome sketch. Nice to see that even though Bay's going to Skull *bleep* our Childhoods with "Ninja Turtles" they'll always be true fans in artists and comic writers that won't forgot to show love and respect to the Original. Also, hot damn that April is Hot!
