Tmnt 27 preview/discussion
 

Are you ready?!!

http://www.comicvine.com/articles/ex...7/1100-147482/

I love Mike in that chef costume, some might find it too cartoony but I got a laugh.

Angel and Hun's scene looks intense. Very interested to see how that plays out.

Looks great, Tom! Thank you very much!
I have a small question: why did Angel not told Hun that the Shredder has crippled his son?

So is this coming out wensday with the micro???

oh im ready

Looks good, can't wait to check this one out!

Indeed... maybe she's saving that one for next issue and the giant pow-wow at Shredder's place? :D

This is killing me going month to month... :tcry:
I can't wait for this!

seriously right??? agravates me half the time with the cliff hangers they have.

for sure she's gonna lay that fact on arny like a bombshell. i'm betting it will be what makes hun cross shredder...at some point.

So which issue do I need to read first: TMNT #27 or the Rocksteady-Bebop Micro?

I feel like I missed the Bebop and Rocksteady micro....is it out?

I'm guessing one of the issues will have a blurb on the first page telling us where it fits in chronologically

but I'm curious myself. Wednesday can't get here soon enough!

No, Bebop and Rocksteady micro come out wends 8/30/13
Im not sure if 27 comes out the same day Im assuming so

It should be coming out tomorrow if there is a preview up.

Both books are out tomorrow -- doesn't really matter which order you read them, either (though I can't say enough how much I LOVE the Bebop and Rocksteady one-shot -- GREAT!).

Talk soon...

Read both. Loved the B&R book!!! 27 was great too but the B&R artwork was... I don't want to say terrible... Inconsistent? I preferred the Bates work 500% more.

that's the beauty of having different artists. i love both of their styles :D

Just read #27, I'll get the micro later.

Great issue, way too amped for next month.

Anyone else noticed Walter White? :D (and I beleive right to him is Pinkman)

Gotta post this here:


Another cameo I found:


Btw, the issue was great, obviously, but I'm so much blown away by these cameos. :lol:

I agree, Its great to have more that one option.
Just prefer the other designs though.:trazz:

Brilliant issue! I really enjoyed it :)

Here's my review on it, but yeah... I did get kinda spoiled by the Micro designs. I had a double reaction when I saw that last page. Like excitement and anticipation that they're finally in the main series and will be fighting the Turtles in the next issue.... and disappointment of the art style and the fact that that's the way they're gonna be drawn next issue....

Yep. I am now excited for issue 28. Really hope Slash gets to throw down with Bebop or Rocksteady. Don't care which one, just titan versus titan. Story is progressing along well now.

My thoughts:
I was not expecting Victor to be offed considering the Savate were built up slowly and he was only around for about 3 apearances.Is this it for the Savate ninja? We never got the background the group.

Victor's offing brought Leo out of it which is good. Perhaps he will be able to fight Bebop and Rocksteady?

Great Heisenberg cameo! Hope we see him get punched out next issuE. I thought copyright issues would prevent this awesome cameo?

Casey Jones is well enough...to take on his father? Should lead to some great dialouge. Angel has got to say something in front of Arnold Sr. About Casey being hurt by Shredder in the first place.

I was disappointed that Casey did bust onto the scene yelling "GOONGALA, GOONGALA!"

Is that...Mohawk Storm from the X-men?

awesome eyes man!!!!

can't believe i didn't notice these dudes from breaking bad and the warriors!

i did notice storm though as the guy above mentioned...

cool issue overall... lets see what happens after this cool off period when this arc ends

Cool issue, great action and a good momentum builder for the final issue.



I liked seeing all the ingrediants come together for a crazy explosion of a finale, I can't wait. I also can't wait for a slower paced arc, for some breathing room- it may be less frustrating to wait a month between installments if the story isn't moving at a such a break-neck pace.

Really loving this issue

Really good issue! Super exciting! And I love the covers!

YES! I was just about to post about this! So cool.

I actually noticed the Storm-ish person too, but I wasn't sure if that was really her, or not... I'm actually not that familiar with the character's backstory, does she had something to do with street gangs or organised crime?

Just for fun... there were turtles in Breaking Bad too:

The dude standing behind him is named Schrader. ...not Colonel, BUT IT CANNOT BE A COINCIDENCE!! (well, it is)

:P



Almost forgot: Both TMNT and Breaking Bad has a character named Victor, and they're both

Dude. I definitely noticed Walter White, but the Warriors totally went under my radar. That's awesome! I was even thinking that that scene reminded me a lot of The Warriors when it was happening. Thanks for pointing this out!

GM

I love this issue! Great stuff! Can't wait to see how this all ends.

I was thinking the same.

Here's my full review of TMNT #27 at TMNT Entity

When it comes to penultimate chapters, I kinda prefer to hold my tongue and save all my collected thoughts for the big finish. I can't say that there were many surprises in this installment, but I don't think there were supposed to be. This was "the plan coming together" and all.

One thing kinda made me go "huh", though. Does Casey have two hockey masks?

Hun makes a big deal about returning his hockey mask (the angular one with no perforations that he wore at the start of the series) in the Hun Micro. In this issue, Angel returns the hockey mask he lost outside the Skara Brae in TMNT #22 (the round one with the perforations that Santolouco's been drawing since Secret History).

Was there supposed to be some symbolic moment where Casey chooses between the two masks? Because he doesn't really spend any time making a choice (since thee really wasn't any choice at all). We just end up with these two big moments where someone returns Casey's hockey mask and it doesn't really mean anything.

(I get hung up on the stupidest things, I swear...)

Yeah! In the 80's Chris Claremont wrote a story in which she wrested control of the Morlocks (a gang of mutants who live under the NYC streets) from their leader Calypso in a knife fight. She left Calypso in day-to-day control of the group, but was technically the leader of the Morlocks for the next decade or so. It was brought up periodically.

Loved that panel. Lots of cool cameos.

He says to Angel that his dad dropped by out of the blue trying to be nice, giving him a new mask and talking about his new job, etc. He doesn't accept his dad's peace offering (new mask) or the story (compare his reactions to getting a mask in the micro from Hun versus issue #27 from Angel). Angel returns his original mask, one his dad gave to him in a better time. He keeps that one.

As for where the other mask his dad gave him is (the new one)... the trash can, maybe? Who knows? It's just gone, baby... gone, gone, gone.

Talk soon...
