TMNT #98 Preview and Discussion

Holy ****.

[daggio]

I'm also willing to bet that the Mutanimals as a group might be over...at least some may leave, like Sally and Mondo who dont seem keen on this whole thing.

[Mutant Ninja Anole]

Also note that Raph was on TV in one of the panels. He’s identified with a notorious terrorist group now. That can’t be good.

[TigerClaw]

Saw the issue. That ending though. This is a game changer. and I see this comic series is going on a diferent direction after issue 100.

This is some Infinity War/Endgame level stuff.

[Zog The Magnificent]

I used to think that maybe things could be resolved by #150 or #200. I used to. Now I feel like it's gonna be ten years later and I'll still be reading this.

It's a good issue and series, it's just weird to think about.

[TigerClaw]

Could the next issue have some sort of time job?

The fact that we will have a Mona Lisa who is dressed casually. And doesn't look concern that she's a mutant.

Either way. Old Hobs went full Magneto mode in this issue.

You mean 101? I think it’s possible, though maybe not something drastic like years, maybe a few months.

I gotta say, it's about time Hob did something in this whole campaign of his. Yes, hes done some things, but it was mostly talk and an occasional strike against a person or organization, but now he finally did something really major for the world to see.

Maybe huns brainwaves/mind will get transferred to clone slash and become tokka from the mutagen bomb.

Maybe, then Hun will be like he was in Turtles Forever

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

"Oh look, Raph stormed out and slammed a door -- must be Tuesday."

And Old Hob taking center stage and putting a spotlight on mutants is something I've been waiting for since he first mutated Mondo and Herman. About damn time.

I think the series could conclude very nicely by issue 150, and honestly probably should, because the series could technically end at any time if Nick/Viacom decides not to renew their license with IDW for whatever reason.

50 more issues (plus whatever mini's or specials come alongside it as usual) would be enough. Bishop's arc and The Pantheon will obviously continue and can be resolved, then there's just the aftermath of whatever happens with Karai, and then if Null or Ch'rells arcs ever kick into high gear. We know from issue 101 the "mutant town" is going to be a thing so there will be a refuge for mutants. But Old Hob will likely take a fall from this, maybe Ray too.

Where was Mutagen Man and Herman during all of this?

I was wondering that too. I presume we'll find out Herman was doing something else for Hob during this time, but Seymour....a few issues ago it seemed like he was gonna help Lindsey with Jennika, but then he never did.

His house was on fire.

Is this a Tomba! 2 reference?

FWIW, and speaking from personal experience with my own pets, hermit crabs do have a habit of going AWOL when you least expect it...

[shredder orokusaki]

But by the time you get out of hell, you're gonna be a good guy, helping the turtles

I actually feel like him controlling the clone is nod to that. Like Baxter using flyborgs instead of being one.

Yes, I very much like that Baxter so far has escape the fate of his other counterparts, tho that's probably cuz this Baxter is a lot more cunning and knowledgeable about the psyche.
