TMNT Universe #22 Preview and Discussion
Full preview soon. First look:

I get the feeling that a good thing and a bad thing are going to happen at the same time.
The Treaty will be successful, but Ch'rell will be loose and screaming. Probably something with the leading women and teenage boy smacking their dissenters on the wrist or wrist equivalent. From what I can tell on the windows, they appear to be in space, maybe? For some reason? Either that, they're in some room on Burnow Island and Krang just had really weird taste in art. And Don had been with them for months? Months??? Here's an easier read. Looks like we'll find out what Leatherhead has been up to. How...how deep into the water has he gone if he's fighting a squid bigger than his face and has a viperfish nearby? I mean, that's gotta be at least over 2,000 feet. |
Full preview here.

And we have a new forum reaction image, for those times when the nonsense is just too much!
https://i.imgur.com/OYak2y8.png Don's got this though. I think the description might be underselling a bit. Kleve's not going to get too far. |
How do you say "Kleve"? I've been saying it like "sleeve" in my head, but I'm usually wrong about stuff like that.
|
I'm not sure what else there is except the word "cleave"...which would be appropriate given his ambition to "cleave" the agreement apart ;) .
|
Yep, definitely checks out! Ironically, "Montuoro" was easier for me to figure out and pronounce, being an Iberian native and all.
|
Oh for fruck's sake, Don. You can't talk a shooter down. You're a NINJA. Do something ninja.
And consider me PSYCHED for Deep Sea Leatherhead. Sounds like a rad action figure variant! :trazz: |
Hmm so if Don has been in negotiations for months would that put this story after kingdom of rats? At first I wanted this to be an epilogue to Triceriton Invasion but I forget when the first bit of Kingdom picked up after it.

So in the intermission between Krang's death and Ch'rell waking up, we have Kleve to take over the role of evil rogue Utrom, huh? :lol:
I wonder if he'll be killed off right at the end of this issue since he seems to be a one-shot adversary before we move on to the next main evil Utrom. |

Probably after filling in Ch'rell on what's going on. It's probably the one death I could see happening.
<Panel of Ma'riell after the story ends, sighing in exasperation and adding a sixth hatch to the count of dead Utroms. "For fvck's sake, Kleve". Ch'rell is throwing a tantrum in the background.> I really think that image of Deep Sea Leatherhead looks like something that would be on a gigantic painting in a sea town tavern that's had one too many swords and knives stuck in it over the years. |
Just to steer away from a misconception a few of you are having, Donnie has not been there for months. The "months of wallowing in compromise and moral ambiguity" is referring to everything that's been going on with the Turtles recently -- not just the events of this story.
|
Ahh, thanks :D ! That clears up a lot of things.
(Though, being there for a few months would make sense considering how quickly the Triceratons and Kleve healed from their respective injuries) |

I'm gonna go ahead and say this is the best issue of Universe ever, hands down. It just worked for me. Struck all the right chords and made the most of its page count, with a couple of gut punches thrown in for good measure.

Kudos, Paul! Kudos! And the Leatherhead back-up... "I'm free now." Damn. :teek: This truly was an amazing issue. As much as I've loved Karai's Path, "Old Hob vs Leatherhead", and the Bishop introductory story arc... I think I gotta hand this issue the Cylons Award of "Best Damn Issue of Universe." :tcool: |
