Sophie Campbell, that’s a really cool cover.

It’s funny - sometimes your art style comes across as so gentle and soft, which it is, but then I see an image like this that reminds me there is still a “bite” to it (pun unavoidable). I mean, those teeth look vicious. It’s an interesting mix. Looking forward to seeing the interiors.

Secondly, having a fifth turtle is weird! I’ll have to read some stories, but I’m curious to see if I warm up to it. I was never raising a pitchfork or anything when the reincarnation element was introduced, but I did need a few months to warm up to it. That could be the case here.

And honestly, whenever I think of the turtles being reincarnated, I geek out a bit. It’s fkn cool!
The Mirage origin will always be my ideal version of the TMNT, but that doesn’t matter. The reincarnation is such a fresh dynamic. I like it more as time goes on.

One last thing: I think the reincarnation origin is the smartest way to reintroduce TMNT on the big-screen, because it’s actually easier to sell that to a casual audience, as well as being something fresh for old fans. I’d just say, go light on the details of their previous life and keep things ambiguous.

So The Mutanimals break up, Old Hob goes back to being a villain and he has mole enforcers inspired by the early role play game?

Chien Khan as the villian in her mini-series? Also, this will be the trial by fire for the character in terms of will she catch on and be accepted by fandom as she is now.

Those are ferrets. Or martens, hard to say, but they're definitely some sort of mustelid.

Chien Khan?! Holy ****! Where?! :o

[CyberCubed]

Those look like mutant gerbils to me on the cover, lol of Old Hob has to get some little tiny mutants if nobody wants to help him

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I know I've been pretty skeptical about Jennika as a character, but I'm really excited for her mini-series. I think it'll make me care about her as a character.

And I'm really excited for a fifth female Turtle in the stories going forward, even if I don't like how she came about or that she used to be human.

Cautiously optimistic, I'm sayin'.

It's possible you may have been swindled by a pet shop owner at some point in your life. :D:lol:

I am just guessing who could be a new threat based on past characters.

[frank_one]

Sophie's cover for #103 is... wow!
Hey, what's up with those feet? Jennika has three toes?

Hmm, I'm not sure.. She had three toes in some of her concept art, but in issues 95, 97 and 98 she's drawn with the regular two toes. I'd say that cover is based on the concept design and could possibly be tweaked before it goes to print. Then again the 2012 series gave them all three toes

[LUIS]

I really hate Brahm Revel art, I'll still check out the mini, but I don't know why or how he gets to draw more issues, let alone a whole mini..

or are they Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters? :trazz:

[Utrommaniac]

Gonna agree that they look like some kind of weasels like minks to me. Minks and a martin maybe.

[Igglet]

Wait a minute. Is it just me or is Leo wielding Splinter's old staff in that #103 panel???

[MikeandRaph87]

Quite observant and probably correct. Also, what tag is that on the weasel creature's ear that is biting Jennika's mask.

You mean the cover up top by Campbell? Even in a different color it still looks like a ninjato blade to me, I'd chalk it up to a coloring error.

[CyberCubed]

I like that we seem to be going into some smaller time stories, the TMNT need a break after all the big events back to back. I wouldn't mind a bunch of self-contained issues for awhile with a few recurring plots in them.

[Damo]

Really hope the three toes cover gets fixed. It just looks weird.

And man, I am getting wonderful Night of the Lepus energy from the 103 cover!

I don't know, those tags in their ears might mean they were from an animal smugling ring/pet store. That and from what i've noticed of the idw series if they were human their more humanoid, if they were animals in the first place their more feral/primitive.

Sally wasn't human first, was she? Cause she's like the most humanoid looking (furry) mutant in the story.

I don't think she (and Ray) were originally human, I think they were animals mutated. On the other hand, I don't recall if that was ever explained. But I think in the Jersey Devil Universe issue, it's more or less outrite stated that the two used to be animals judging by Ray's reaction to Dreadmon's attitude about having once been human. Now with that said, at the time the two joined the Mutanimals, I don't think Hob would've accepted them into the group if they had been humans before. Now, obviously, Hob's attitude concerning that subject has changed, but at the time it was different, especially when you remember how Hob reacted when he realized that Bebop and Rocksteady had once been human when he was trying to recruit them.

Unless something happens to Bebop and Rocksteady in #100, I'd really like to see them becoming Hob's enforcers at some point. He sure can use the muscle.

I hope so too, tho I'm thinking maybe Koya and Bludgeon may play that role or maybe something bigger. And here's why I think that. In 99 when Kitsune is saying her speech at the end with each of her sentences being imposed over a panel of the fight going on, her saying "the FUTURE" is imposed over the fight between Koya/Bludgeon vs Donnie/Mikey/Angel/Alopex. Now, we all know how this device works and its intentions. So, I'm thinking that Koya and Bludgeon may play a significant role post 100 (along with Angel and Alopex and obviously Mikey and Donnie).

[ChosenOne]

Now I know who those three weasels remind me of, right down to their ragged clothes: the Trio De Dangers from Dragon Ball Super!

[Rooish]

From the ear tags I am going to guess they are domestic ferrets.

[daggio]

Maybe they're gonna be the TMNT equivalent of the Trio villain group from that one season of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Yes, I watched a little of that when I was younger, I'll admit it :lol:

You make it sound like that's something to be ashamed of... In fact, you might want to give it a rewatch now that you're older. But while I can see the parallel, I doubt there'll be an equivalent to Warren. For a number of reasons.

I agree, but I think they might be those kinda behind-the-scenes villains.

Oh, my bad. I misread the question, plus this release schedule is somewhat confusing.
