Mark Hamill would be a great fit actually! if you enjoyed Labyrinth i highly recommend seeing The Dark Crystal Spoiler:
"Family of the Parliament" is just what i called them. i think they are just called 'the Parliament', but being that they are family members...

Funny thing about that, all of a sudden everyone is calling them the Pantheon and I just realized while reading #68, during Leo's rant about the bros' priorities, that I can't remember if they were ever told that's what the big bad crew of deities call themselves. We, the readers, know them mostly as the Pantheon, but how did the Turtles ever come to call them that? Who told them and when? I honestly can't recall. Not saying it didn't happen, just can't remember when.

Good issue. Nice to see the Pantheon get more developed. As others have said, the art is really good, a great fit for the story, with an Alice-in-Wonderland feel. Kind of relieved the back-up story's finished, it kind of felt like it dragged on a bit too long and wasn't all that entertaining, the next one ought to be better.

oh well? i guess there's something to be said for us with dain bramage!!! if i had to guess where the name pantheon came from, it was probably within the Casey & April mini series? i'll dig it out and check. OK! found it!!! we actually find out the family of immortals are named the Pantheon in Tmnt #46. it was Professor Miller that called them that as he read April the ancient scroll.

Here's my full summary and review of TMNT Universe #9 at TMNT Entity.
Harold's absence from "Team Nobody" was a little felt in the dynamic, I think. He provides that little bit of abrasion, otherwise you're left with two good buddies who like to make small talk. Still, even without Harold, the issue had a whole lot of fun to it. That Tunica guy can freakin' DRAW holy cow. I'm still looking over the panels for details that I missed. And the Toad Baron is a refreshing change of pace from the other members of the Pantheon; his fun-loving personality comes across as a bit more diverse from the angry villains or plotting schemers or philosophers. |

Might be because he's the toad sage but I heard an echo-y David Lodge for Toad Baron.
But yeah, I agree with ya, doc. Harold is one of the best human characters in TMNT history, I think, and to have him out of the book, even for a bit, creates a void.

my thoughts on the Back-up tale were that Jennika was spying on the Turtles because she missed them.
in the very last panel Leonardo was seen lurking in the shadows of the Foot headquarters spying on Splinter and Jennika. i wonder what exactly did that mean? did he realize he was being spied on and wanted to investigate why? or was he there because of a secret longing to spend time with his Father?

Finally read it. Total Spirited Away vibe.
How did they come up with this Toad Barron thing? All I can think is Wind in the Willows... right down to the rowboat ride. I really enjoyed this issue and the relationship between our two leads. The art was awesome, even if their appearances were dramatically different than in the main series. Really loved Alopex's expressions, especially her stretching on the second page and snuggling up to Angel during the drugged dance sequence! Ha! Reading this though, I thought about the fact that I don't really know their personality traits very well. Alopex started out sneaky and vicious, now is usually just kind of there in the main but in this she was more carefree. Angel is... grumpy and tough? Like a female human Raph?
