No confirmation yet, I think, on Tang Shen or Casey's mother, but this is a great way for IDW to incorporate otherwise extraneous elements of other TMNT universes. I'd like to see Noi Tai Dar from Archie, for instance, get some Pantheon love. Lots of potential!

If they are doing a whole cast of eternals playing for earth, I could see them possibly including Null from the Archie series.
I'm curious to see how they handle it and what the time line is for it. Is this something they'll build up for issue #50? Or keep adding more layers until it pays off more around issue #75? Can't wait to see what they have in store.

Finally, someone other than me name-drops PDN, & likes the character. I love that motherfunker. Want him back baaaad, especially if it means more stories like the one he was featured in.

Speaking of this major reveal of sorts I am so glad I wasn't spoiled for this issue. I had no idea going into it how important it is to the story. Now that each of the turtles have finished with their individual tasks, I'm really looking forward to the family coming together again, (Especially seeing where Casey is headed.) |

Just to repeat: freaking Null. Easily the #1 villain I want to show up in IDW that hasn't thus far. And he'd fit in to that dynamic so well. I have my fingers crossed he's slotted in sometime after the current Shredder/Krang arc is over.
As to Casey... the way he almost leapt down April's throat in #34 and all the continuing drama with Hun makes me wonder where he's headed. It feels like he's picking up some of his old Mirage flavor... I mean, they're different characters, but I could see IDW Casey developing more of a temper and resorting to violence more and more as the book goes, maybe even to the point of driving a wedge between himself and April & the turtles. The character feels like he's ready for that kind of development after everything that's happened to him since "City Fall." |

TBH, I'm really waiting for Shredder (and maybe Krang) to get off the table so the book can get really interesting, which I think is a trend among all TMNT incarnations.
All of the most engaging and unique elements of the book are on back burner right now, doubly so as of this reveal. |

I think most TMNT incarnations have gotten at least marginally more interesting once Shredder has been removed though. And in this one particularly, the most interesting elements in play right now aren't his immediate plans. Right now Shredder/Krang is the A-plot, and I'd rather it become Kitsune/Rat King/whatever as soon as possible. |

I'm sure Shredder will be "defeated" at some point, although I think that will be an extended hiatus rather than killing him off for good.
I kind of expect a full Triceraton storyline after the current arc ends anyway. They have yet to explore them. |

I think Hob is more likely to be one, but I could be waaay off track about that.

Have you read the Old Hob Micro??? His back story has already been revealed and he is far from it.

This was the first issue I had to pick up a retail incentive cover for. Mark Torres did an amazing job with it. It took me a good 5 minutes goggling over the art before I actually opened it up.
I agree with you there!

I think Hob was one of these "Elder Gods" who somehow became mortal and died, and that he's connected to Kitsune and Rat King in some way. I'm thinking he was lord of the cats. That would explain why he's trying to put together a make shift army out of whatever "stray" mutants he can find. He's affectionate and caring towards Slash, who is almost like his cat.
