Tom W.

So many TMNT comics come out so quickly! It's getting hard to keep up!

I try not to read the word bubbles in the previews, but

I usually try to, because...



Excellent preview, and thank you for the link, Mr. Waltz. I'm grateful for them, as I usually just wait to buy the issue, instead. I'm quickly becoming more and more intrigued with this series to indulge in the spoilers, and that's just fine.

Is it just me or is this Duncan's best art yet? Everything looks much better than the first few issues.

Also Krang and Shredder possibly being enemies? I love it!

Wowwww.

That is the best part of it all! We saw them as partners and I always wonder what it would be like for them to have a relationship similar to say General Blanque and Prime Leader Zandramon.

The last issue was worth twice the issue price for just one scene and that was the one which showed Krang in the chest compartment of the generic dicator outfit. Last issue when it gave Tragg's name and rank it confirmed the spelling of his name but naming him Captain threw me a little. I am only so familar with miltary ranks and though since Krang is the general than perhaps Brigidier. If not any type of general ranking isn't Luietenant next? So is there someone in command between Tragg and Krang? Hmmm....

Thanks for the preview! Came a bit earlier than usual...

I guess this confirms that the turtles and Old Hob were not only exposed to the super-soldier mutagen, but also the psychotropic serum. I guess that would explain why Leo is starting to see glimpses of his past life as opposed to regaining his past memories in full like Splinter.

I am a little bummed that the Shredder is going to throw in with the mutants right from the get-go, as I like seeing the Foot as a pure ninja clan, at least at first. Still, we'll see how it all shakes out since I'm not opposed to the idea in general. It just seems like it works better as a natural development in the narrative that he will seek out mutants only after seeing the challenge the turtles pose to his foot clan.

Indeed. The art looks spiffy.

Once you factor in issue #10's cover along with this issue, it's starting to appear that the comic's first year might end with a battle royale between Krang/Baxter/Old Hob, Shredder/Bebop/Rocksteady and the Turtles. At least, one can hope.

And I'll second what Matches said about the mutant angle with Shredder. The Foot Clan using mutants is fine, but some extra build-up leading Shredder to go there as a tactic would have been more preferable. (Or, we may get that, anyway, via a flashback or one-shot issue.)

You may be on to something here, Matches Malone...

;)

I also loved how Raph still wants to kill Hob, I'd like to see him get his way.

Tom, the way Baxter talks, it seems like the Foot Clan made off with some goods after their break-in from #2/3. But in the actual issues, it looks like they lost all the loot down the sewer. What's the deal?

I don't think that was the Foot's first time stealing some of the serums. True they lost the serums in #2 and #3 but then, how do you explain Alopex? They must've been able to obtain some of the goods before those issues for mutating her. Though you could argue why Stockgen didn't update their security after a few thefts.

Mwahahahaha!!!

Your evil laugh further supports my theory that Baxter is actually working for Shredder.

Or that Tom took the loot!:D


One thing we don't know yet for sure is does the mutagen affect animals and make them humaniod or can a human become animal-like. The rock soliders seemed to be humans that were experimented on but was it the mutagen like what was used on the TMNT,Splinter,Hob, and Apolex?

That works too. Maybe better than what I said.

Nice.

I bet Baxter's double dipping

Ah man, Duncan's art is incredible in this issue! His best yet, I think.
I've been looking forward to this one since the previews came out! Love all the action and information we're being given!

PS: It's also nice how Raphael's sai are drawn like real sai and not stabby daggers! haha!

Art looks awesome. loved Donnie's Line from the original movie about the bus

Thanks for pointing that out. (Pun unintended.) I have always wondered why his weapons have been depicted like that in the many versions of TMNT.

Krang's quote in the preview makes me wonder what willl happen to Baxter Stockman this time. Forced to be a test subject in something and then becomes something that is not human. Not saying a fly maybe just a brain in a jar or something never seen before. Death certainly is not an option.

WOW! i cant wait for it! Krang and Shredder being ememies is nothing new. It was done in a few episodes on the OT, but at the end they always were becomign friends again. Now it seems that in this new seires they are enemies from the begining. Let see if this will change

At least, this version is upfront on what happens if "you fail me," not unlike Utrom Shredder with Baxter. And it is the first time IDW Baxter stops being smug, so it really works.

Two weird questions to ask, but...

I hope Mikey's okay after that!

Preview looks great as usual, things are picking up full swing now! Can't wait!

I like what I see.

Very awesome preview.

Why would injured Donnie try to help his brothers in outright battle, though, and send able-bodied Mikey out of the action with Splinter? Why didn't Don try to take Splinter away?

That was a great preview I hope they make it out alive. Plus I love how the designs are and the coloring and how the storys going its soo amazing keep up the good work!!!:tgrin:

Hopefully this issue lives up to the hype...

Yeah you can really tell the main plot is starting to heat up.

The Foot is right around the corner and I love that Krang is getting more aggressive. I definitely see Baxter and Hob falling out with Krang and perhaps joining Shredder or going solo.

Hopefully we get to see Leatherhead or Slash if we have to have more mutants. Might as well introduce the ones everyone likes.

Can't say that I'm in love with the idea of Shredder being in "a war" with anyone, but from the way Krang is talking at least it sounds like it's a "war" with some other faction on Earth. If it's like competition to the Foot Clan or something, then that wouldn't be too weird.

Preview looks exciting.

He's gotta be at war with the Savate Ninjas, right?

An advance review here (which contains a few spoilers -- you have been warned!):
