Dis gunna be good.

This art popped right out of the screen for me like it's in 3D. I really like it. I'm so glad we got so many varied art styles in this 5 part mini.

[Ninjinister]

Palmadise!

[ChosenOne]

Does... Does Ace have stubble on his beak?

[Utrommaniac]

That he does...

Eh, less distracting with him than Mondo, I place fewer expectations on an alien than a mutant.

the art is one of the many things i've really enjoyed about this mini.
it's pure eye candy!!!

i was resigned to just sticking with the connecting Cover A's, but i'm very tempted to pick up the cover B's done by all the interior artists.
my favorite covers so far...

Spoiler:

aside from Michael Dialynas who's already drawn a few issues, i really hope we get to see some of these artists from this series draw for the the main ongoing series.

Maybe it is just me, but the turtles look like the first wave nickelodeon action figures... Even in some poses

I had the same thought while reading this issue. It's most apparent in the first panel in which they meet Ace Duck.

Oh, yeah, I love the 5-cover spread image, but the individual covers by the artists have been my faves, with the exception of #3's cover. Just could have been a little more than a head shot for me.

i totally agree with you on the B cover of issue #3.

and it's such a shame because that artist's interiors were amazingly beautiful.
maybe he was just on a really tight deadline with that particular cover?

you know, now that you mention it.....

[Utrommaniac]

So...how did Ace get away from Krang during the flashback? I don't think Krang would have "let him off with a warning", especially if he wanted to prepare for repercussions.

So...what happened? And how did he get to Palmadise?

[DrSpengler]

Here's my full summary and review (and a complete history of Ace Duck) of TMNT: Dimension X #4 at TMNT Entity.

A bit funny to see Ace Duck in a piece of TMNT media actually displaying the personality I always imagined he had when I played with his toy as a kid. Kinda... gratifying? I dunno, but I loved the issue.

I never had the Ace Duck toy as a kid. Always wanted him!

"Leo and Don are also present, as they most frequently are in these matters. They will certainly receive a Good Attendance Award at the end of the school year, yessir."

Your reviews are always a treat, man.

I was just about to quote that same line

Although I do miss the letter grades you used to give to each issue, Spengler

[Utrommaniac]

Now, I'm not sure if I missed something, but
When you said:

As it turns out, Ace was once allied with the Utroms and flew in their air force on missions against Krang.

Ace had been allied with the Neutrinos, not the Utroms. He was part of the Rebellion against the Utroms.


I've just noticed how Ace's wings work with Gargoyles logic. Fold 'em up under a coat to hide 'em.

.

Derp. Yeah, I meant "Neutrinos" and wrote "Utroms" by mistake. Thanks for catching that!

[Allio]

Don't really get the hype for Ace. His toy had a nice design but that was about it.

[Powder]

Yeah, agreed. Nicely done issue & all but Ace does nothing for me.

I'd rank these issues by order of release, personally.
