Was that...

Was that Hun?

I suppose this question fits best here, as this is technically the most recent issue directly connected to the main ongoing, but, what do you all think (and hope) will be the big, status-quo shifting, game-changing plot twist in #100? The #50 equivalent being Splinter taking over the Foot Clan.

Honestly, I'm really excited to see what the writers have planned, and a bit scared at the same time, because I genuinely don't see how they can top it without repeating themselves. The twist with Splinter set the board for the next 50 issues of the run, and I'm just anxiously awaiting to see what they'll do and if it'll be on that level. I get the feeling that it might have to do with Saki and perhaps him taking Splinter's place as sensei, as unlikely as it sounds, or perhaps the turtles splitting off and going in their own separate ways. I'm not entirely sure if I'd like either of these options, but I'm just trying to figure out what would be big enough to be the moment the last 50 issues have been leading up to, and the next 50 will build off of.

Those two are the most likely options at this moment, yeah. At least that we can glean from what's been given to us so far. Personally, I think the most likely status quo shift is Splinter dying (not necessarily in #100) and the Turtles disbanding as a result of that. But who knows, really? I don't think anyone saw the twist in #50 coming, so it's likely that IDW will surprise us once again with something none of us have predicted.

IDW has put emphasis on a few different areas of the story (and I'm not complaining, I like that there are different directions and options to go in) that it really is had to predict that moment in #100. I think the only safe bet is that Splinter is probably going to not be alive much longer, and Shredder and Takeshi coming back to life (and not necessarily #100 being where these take place). Beyond that is harder to predict, though the Turtles splitting up in some fashion has started to be hinted at a lot more in the last few months (at least in my view).

Oh yeah. It's pretty obvious they're going to split for a good while. And make some very confusing storylines in the meantime, probably focusing them in different clumps at a time before they're gradually having to be drawn back together.

April finishing off what she wants with Stockman...Ch'rell throwing a screaming fit on Burnow Island...Null finally stopping being mysterious and cryptic...Hob getting into business as usual.
