^^The Turtles have gone to space in the comics. I remember reading those issues when I was a kid. It's explained earlier in this thread that TMNT was never to be taken very seriously to begin with. Its very existence was started on a joke.
As for the story, I tuned out after awhile (seriously, it got that boring to read), but they were shoehorning this prophecy story that the Turtles were born to save the earth from Krang. Or something. And they got it from a large older looking Turtle...who is never really explained who he is. Then kinda leaves. And never comes back. They put ALOT of weight on this prophecy story in the second half, giving it flashbacks and the way it was written sounded so serious.
Basically, it was the JJ Abrams Star Trek but with the Turtles. A way to acknowledge the old series but at the same time, go their own path and take their own liberties. I was scrutinizing the script up 'till I got to that part, I thought it was pretty cool too. Then it got boring again. The jokes were always corny but they had a charm to them, which they didn't get right here. Among other things (Casey and April are kids in this one, not very likable kids either).
