Yeah, I'll cop to that... we added the map last minute and that just got past me. No excuses, just a mistake! The blue areas are the mafia controlled (the yellow circle should be blue in the key). It'll be fixed in the next issue!

And fwiw there were no minis planned after Shredder before #100. We wanted some room to breathe and put focus on #100.

Thanks for clearing that up, Bobby! I actually thought that insightful interview of the first year of the comic was the best bonus yet!

Agreed! I really enjoyed Tom's take on what makes the Turtles (or any other comic, for that matter) resonate with readers.

Thanks for clearing up that headcanon of mine regarding the minis, Bobby! I'm sure you can see how easy it was to get that impression.

Back on topic, I do think there was a second mini planned for release during City at War, but the delays of Shredder in Hell nixed those plans. At least for now.

Offline I am called The Pun-isher for a reason.

If you recall at the time of Pete's creation it was Michelangelo and Raphael who checked in on Hob and Slash. We saw Michelangelo individually interact with the full group now its Raphael's turn.

So we have a comedic character in Pete will we get a serious character named Kevin? Laird was always serious while Kevin is laid back, switching their supposed personalities could be fun.

The solicits for next month say as much. I'm hyped!

Wish we could've seen the legacy covers already, though. I wonder if they contain spoilers or hints as to where the arc is headed?

[Redeemer]

I am pretty sure

Spoiler:

Jennika

is going to die. Not just bc she got

Spoiler:

shanked

The reason is...

Spoiler:

Jennika is currently the romantic interest of Casey, but usually April. April and Casey usually end up together and for that to happen Jennika needs to be written out some how either by dying or some other narrative reason. As much as I like Jennika I have a feeling she will die, not just bc of the reasons I have already listed, but bc I think her death will essentially be the catalyst for this entire City at War arc.

Really good issue, great writing. As others have said I feel like the Nutrino and fugitoid penal was wasted space, but I guess it does serve a purpose for future issues according to you know who

My only real complaint is why do the artist keep drawing turtles with bird beaks??? I know it's actually more realist, but I personally hate the look. I am sure others agree with me or I at least hope

I actually disagree, I really like the way the turtles are drawn here.

Also, I hope she doesn't die, personally. I think keeping her alive would make for a more compelling storyline. I don't want her to walk her injuries off either, though. Let this have a permanent effect on her.

Casey: Gets stabbed through with three blades; lives, doesn't need a lifetime of recovery from getting major organs...shredded.
Jennika: Gets stabbed with one blade; gon die cuz rebound's gotta go.


Though...there was a magic sword involved with Jennika, so...

Not to mention, Shredder was only using Casey as wounded bait to draw the Turtles out, while Karai was actually going for the kill.

Ew, no, please don't kill her just to free up the love interest. She can just break up with him or something.

Hey guys this is all just me guessing I could be completely wrong

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I like Turtle beaks and dead Jennikas. Fight me.

I changed my mind, please take me back.

[Utrommaniac]

I'm just guessing Fugitiod's return to Earth would just end up looking something like this

The magic part is what intrigues me, if she is able to recover, there better be some lasting ramifications of getting stabbed with a magic evil sword.
