Surprised Bison didn’t have some “artistic” pictures in his room.

Why is Jennika in there? Is this even cannon to the IDW series?

Seems more "canon-adjacent" like the Batman crossovers where certain details match the current IDW status quo (Jennika and New York's mutants being exposed) but others most likely won't. (Especially if we get a psycho-powered still-a-bad-guy Shredder like one of the future covers seems to imply.)

I just don't think this crossover is gonna age well with her in it. It'd make sense if she was in the power rangers one, but this is just dumb and feels forced.

Street Fighter 6 just came out so I'm sure sales of this comic will be boosted by it.

aND IT RELEASES just 6 days after the game! Those you got it coem and fight me. I also started playing in Friday. But there is a problem with capcom and Steam link. While i created capcom ID account when i click Link Steam then it says that it will sent me a verification email but it still not here. I did it again and 5 days passed and the email is not here. Which means until they fix the problem and i can link steam with capcom id i cant play online. But iam sure they will fix it soon.

I started to read the first issue and I was really starting to get into it…

Then Jennika showed up



Let me know who kicks her butt in combat…if they even allow that

Well, luckily she only got one line here.

[TheLabRat]

Is it just me, or the fight scenes look so lame and disappointing.

[Galactus]

This was all kinds of a mess. I didn't expect it to be good but a fun diversion for someone like me who loved the older Street Fighter games.

The Street Fighter mythology at this point far eclipses even the dumbest version of TMNT in being goofy but this is set in the SFII era which was at least semi serious when Blanka was probably the most unrealistic character and treated as such and yet we have the turtles walking round Vegas interacting with humans like the Fred Wolf show. Also strange that they used the IDW turtles for this, wouldn't it have been cool to base the TMNT characters on those from Tournament Fighters. It would make sense why they'd take place in the street fighter tournament and you could even rope in some of the other characters from that game. I also thought the characterisation of the SF characters to be kinda shallow, like that crappy American made animated series they did back in the day.

TF versions are primarily based on Archie versions, which means they are not really distinct from their FW counterparts.

[Monty Mole]

Read it online, it was $hit. Glad I didn't pay for it.

[Stu_Padasso]

Sure. Why not? How about a Scooby-Doo crossover or the Flintstones while we’re at it.

Ooh! What about the Tailer Park Boys?! I’d pay money the read that!

“Something’s really f-cky with this hash, Ricky! I’m seeing giant f-ckin’ talkin’ turtles!”

“Naw, man. It’s cool Bubs. I just sold a bunch to the orange one!”

[Sumac]

After Archive X Predator nothing surprises me anymore.

[CyberCubed]

Street Fighter crossover is fine, it's not something that is too odd for TMNT to do especially since this is non-canon anyway.

But then we wouldn't get Jennika in the mix, and she's driving sales these days. /s

I thought the concept was good execution not so much, like Guile is known for a few things, flash kick, sonic boom his kick where he flips upside down yet this fight had none of it, it was more like wrestling match then anything. Same with Chun Li versus Mikey, it also was in a ring instead of being like a martial arts tournament which felt wrong, at least it ends with Raph getting into a street fight hopefully they actually go all in with the SF moves next

Jennika was the one thing you didn't like about this absolute trash issue?
