Lol, crying. Kid, I’m laughing. This **** is a joke. It’s a tumblr book, two steps from turtlecest.

It’s going to help bottom the stock price.

Just finished reading this issue. What a great issue this is

Remember kids, no matter what they tell you, beastiality is okay, but you must get consent from your pet! Lol.

Disgusting.

OK, here's the thing about Lita. While I did think I could be more interested in her than Jennika, which still stands and I guess I'm a more intrigued with this time travel premise than anything we've seen with Jennika, I must admit that this is a rather strange move.

Lita has really only been defined a character for a single issue and already an alternate version of her who is a Timestress pops up? This sort of move seems like something that you would do to a character who has been around for quite a while, not a brand new one. Along with the revelation that she's clumsy, it almost seems as if the character was created for the sole purpose of making a time travel story, the whole "Look at how the runt will grow" clich?. Even if that was indeed the purpose of introducing her, it would still work better if she had been around for 20 issues or so, even 5 would have been more reasonable. It's a really bizarre move in terms of writing.

So, its not that I don't like the issue or the past few issues, but it feels like a miniseries or back up story. Doesn't really do it for me as far as the ongoing. Like I've enjoyed reading it but I can take it or leave it in the long run.

Alopex should be careful, turtle dicks are half their body length.
She gonna be turnt out after Raph.

Glad to see that with so much male hate going on in comics, interspecies sex is being normalized. Lol.
The left is all about subversion of norms, at any expense.

If Sophie wanted to know what exactly was the turn off for red blooded American males? This qualifies.

But furry-sh!t is pure red American male fantasy.

To be fair, it's supposed to be a breather arc like Northampton was.

Yeah I get that, but north Hampton feels essential and that might be because it?s a constant in TMNT

[Allio]

Next storyline will definitely be do or die for many.

[lonewarrior20]

i just thought of something that might be down the road. litas own version of messing up the timestream spin off. we've seen what two idiots can do, lets see her give it a try.

[Cloudrunner]

I'm a little confused here... are we now complaining about the Alopex/Raph thing as if interspecies romance is somehow a new concept in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Are you... sure you guys have read/watched this IP before?

On the plus side, maybe we have Armaggon incoming? I know, I know, wishful thinking...

Indeed. Raph/Ninjara was the definition of hot back in the day, especially that thought bubble (accidentally wrote "thought butt" at first, Freudian slip!) panel with her and the two Raphs.

No, you’re confusing furryshit with siblingshit. Pornhub doesn’t lie.

[CyberCubed]

The Raph/Alopex kiss was a total throwback to the Raph/Ninjara one in the second to last Archie story where they broke up. That was nice.

I don't really think Alopex needed a green bandana, the face paint she wears was enough. I think she's going to look worse with it on, but I guess we'll see and hopefully she won't wear it all the time.

The last page was really surprising though, it's like the furthest thing from my mind and I wonder what goes on there. Looks like she has Renet's time scepter or works for her maybe.

[sdp]

We definitely don't need more furry bait in TMNT. The new found audience can keep the book running for another decade, but the cost would be too high. not #readyforthenewnew

[Cloudrunner]

I think Sophie already mentioned the bandanna won't be an all-the-time thing. Cause yeah, while the color is fine around her neck it clashes heavily with her already-existing face mask when worn.

I mean... Mutant Town is the reality of the comic now. I'm pretty sure it's going to be the primary setting for the story for the remainder of the book's run, and even if they get past it, the new mutants would spread to the rest of the city. The point being, you're gonna see furry characters all throughout the book now, so buckle up. It's not as if the entire premise of the franchise hasn't been anthropomorphic characters.

[TommyT]

Buckle up? You only keep hold of the reins as long as you’re the one in the drivers seat, bucko. Tank the book, they vote you off the island.

Provided of course, you haven’t already sunk the franchise.

Laying groundwork for Jennika to romance the pork rocker, lol. From Casey’s hog to a real pig! Comedy gold.

My concern isn't the time travel itself, it's how the character is used for it. We're not really familiar with the character yet but it's was decided that she should be the center of a story that can only work with a character we already know well. It honestly seems like the desire to introduce a character with a new gimmick completely overrode making the story and character actually work...

It's honestly a little worrying that not only is Mutant Town itself a bit of an odd plot development, seeing how quickly it happened, but now we have things like this on top of them.

Oh there are plenty of ways you can get rid of mutant town, I've laid them out in previous threads. Not all of them are elegant of course, but considering how hamfisted the start of this spectacle was and the questionable direction of introducing a character seemingly for the purpose introducing an alternate version of them, I don't think elegance is much of a priority when it comes to putting an end to it.

Spoiler:

• Exodus to Dimension X
• Genocide of the mutants
• An actual cure
• Altered events to the timeline
• Etc, Etc, Etc.

lol what is this "you" nonsense? I wasn't praising or criticizing the direction of the comic, nor am I in any way involved in making it go in this direction. I was only telling him that this is how things are. The comic is clearly still going in this direction even at the latest issue we have a synopsis for, so it's not leaving Mutant Town anytime soon.
