See, on this we can agree. I do think the comic is a different beast right now, but that's all it is: Different. Now, if that's not one's cup of tea, fine. It's when some people swear that there's an evil SJW conspiracy to "Woke"-ify everything that I have to laugh. It's really not that big a deal. There is no one trying to ruin TMNT for you on purpose. It's just not your thing and that's ok. Rise wasn't my thing either. Yknow? (Not saying you're one of those fans)

There is valid critique, and then there's saying "THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU PUT A PINK HAIRED COMMIE IN CHARGE OF MUH TURTLES!11!!" Which sadly, is an actual opinion i've seen out there, and worse.

The difference is, Rise was its own thing. It wasn't season 6 of the 2012 show or anything.

Imagine having a show where season 1-4 is like the 2012 show.... then for whatever reason season 5-7 is Rise and then season 8 is finally getting back to the 2012 show.

After a while it's like.... ok, who is this for, because this TMNT show sure isn't for anyone that likes the TMNT.

You don't really pay much attention to how IDW's been doing business the last few years, I'm guessing.

I mean, I'm sure 875 gay and "nonbinary" Autobots is all just a big coincidence. Which reminds me, I'd better go make sure my toaster isn't trying to have Gay Sex with my coffee maker, since apparently not only can machines have sexual feelings but those feelings are almost always homosexual. Or so says the people writing the Transformers book, at least.

After a while, you have to be trying on purpose NOT to notice these things. And if a person needs it explained to them why that stuff is dumb... then they're simply beyond help. That's as nice as I can be about it.

I am curious how much of a 'clean sweep' this will be. Like will someone be able to get up to TMNT issue 100 or whatever and then skip straight to issue.... whatever issue this Armaggon stuff starts and not miss too much other than the basic knowledge that Mutant Town is a thing?

Like other than the Bebop and Rocksteady stuff, has anything significant happened to Hob, Karai, Koya, Bludgeon?

If I had any feelings, it would take a lot more than your limp-dicked scribbles to hurt them, Sally. Your jabs are as soft as all the soy and estrogen has made your penis. Or so your Mom tells me when we cuddle.

Seriously, you'd think losers who do nothing but sit around circle-jerking on Tumblr and Twitter all day would actually be able to craft a proper insult, but you keep throwing cotton balls at me and acting like they're bombs. It's actually kind of sad. But then again, the whole entire Tide Pod generation is kind of defined by weakness and having no idea how to handle confrontation.

You're embarrassing yourself with this. I'm very sorry your girlfriend is busy having a train run on her by a bunch of Real Men and therefore you have nothing else to do, but this can't possibly be the most productive use of your time.

I believe the Armageddon Game is the next arc after the current one going by the solicitations for the FCBD issue and the Opening Moves two-parter starting in June, that and Tom Waltz has that it's coming this year and there will only be six more issues for this year after the current arc ends in #130.

ie. 125-130 (Jan-June) Frogs/Venus arc > 131-136 (July-Dec) Armageddon Game.

Dude... My eyes immediately latched on to that one misspelled word and I was shrieking like a schoolgirl the whole time I was reading up and down this page and the previous one to see what kind of announcement had been made today... Don't do it. Don't give me hope.

Oh ****. I thought the whole thing was about Armaggon..... The whole time I thought you guys were talking about the Amaggon War. Then what the **** is this Armageddon War about? Is it just the whatever group Rat King and Kitsuna are a member of finally doing something?

It's about the Rat King, having seen that his siblings lost interest in their power plays, deciding to recruit Stockman, Null and LeatherKrang to make his big move while Saki tries to counter with some allies of his own. At least AFAWK.

Null?????? Oh snap.

Also is this the new revived 'reformed' Shredder? So is he gonna pull a Magneto and recruit the Turtles?

All signs point to yes, and not just the Turtles either. He's gonna bring in IDW Cherubae and the Nova Posse in an upcoming two-parter.

Why not the Archie Cherubae? She is supposed to be transdimensional.

It's possible, but then why not pull a Turtleverse and bring in the Archie Turtles too?

Because they can't freely travel the multiverse?

[Coola Yagami]

Wasn't this Renet and Savanti the actual Mirage Renet and Savanti? The same could apply to Cherubae.

Can't agree, and thats as nice as I can be about it.

Well, unfortunately there's no law on the books yet against having bad opinions.

No but seriously, cars and robots and robots who turn into cars by definition can't have a "sexual identity". I don't know who said otherwise but they were misinformed, and IDW is complicit in spreading such nonsense.

I'd have more to say about this but I caught my blender giving the espresso machine the bedroom eyes and I gotta go give them both a long talking to.

Cars also can't turn into robots and then turn into CGI animals, either.
