Tales of the TMNT 35
 
Hey all. Just a heads up that midtowncomics.com is showing this issue as coming out on Wednesday (June 13th).

Here's the plot:
“The Pantheon” - Splinter the rat versus the Rat King! Featuring the origin of the Rat King and the truth behind his mysterious historical relationship with the Turtles’ sensei. Plus… who, or what, is The Pantheon?

Should be interesting! I hope he has an interesting story because I honestly like him not having one.

The issue looks fantastic (though they seem to give away the ending).

I haven't looked forward to a Tales issue this much in a while.

Trust me, no spoilers here.

I've always liked the fact that Rat King was so mysterious. Seeing him with an actual backstory is a huge risk, imo. I hope this turns out better than I expect it to be.

Yeah I agree with you 100% and I'm a tad worried I hope it's atleast interesting.

The fact that Chris Allan did the artwork is enough for me :-)

I'm just happy he didn't draw splinters ears the rounded way he did towards the end of the Archie series I wasn't a big fan of those ears.:lol:

it's out, i have it. i read it.

the ending is very, very interesting.

VaughnMichael 06-13-2007 05:51 PM
Just got done reading it.
It's pretty interesting I like the idea and all but it's way to short and everything just happens so quickly they really should have given us a little more insite on things.
Spoiler:
But it does give more to the story of Splinters death. So does that mean he's now the king of rats? And it opens up another question does Splinter take up the offer now that he has passed on or does he pass up the offer again.

Spoiler:
& I can't say I cared much for the Leonardo story it's cool and all to get short storys like that but the art was a bit annoying if not confusing along with how Leo kept rambling on.

My review with spoilers:

Spoiler:
I wasn't very happy with Rat King's backstory. Making him a street thug turned rat protector just doesn't fit into the being we eventually meet in Tales Vol. 1 #4. If you remember Rat King has no notion of who, or what, he is exactly. In fact he believes he's some kind of monster. There's no reference to him "indulging in vices" or being a criminal of some kind, let alone to being a supernatural protector of the rats. Heck, we're not even sure if he's really a villain based upon previous encounters.

When is the beginning, Rat King's psychic warfare against Splinter, supposed to occur? Before the Rat King meets the TMNT? After? Before Splinter meets him during City At War? After? It's never made clear. If it was before CAW then Splinter should have recognized him there, which he clearly doesn't. If it was after CAW Splinter should have recognized him in this issue, which he doesn't. This new backstory just doesn't fit. I'm a little disappointed too because the Mirage Rat King ranks among the coolest characters in comic history.

I will say that I did like the way they described Rat King's role in Splinter's death. Vol. 4 #10 does make more sense now. Although my question: Did Splinter accept the offer before his death and become the new "Rat King"? Or did he reject the offer? Which would have made more sense? They didn't make that terribly clear. Although it might have been intentially left ambigous.
