TMNT #37 Preview/Discussion
 

Preview here.

See, Cory Smith is awesome! :)
I also like how he kept the recent design changes Campbell and Santolouco made on the characters.

So, Kitsune is using the same kinda trick on Alopex that the Rat King used on Leo and Splinter... Interesting, I'm curious about how she intends to use her.

Well as long as the Shredder and Krang team-up won't mean 65+ issues of them trying to foil the turtles in increasingly repetitive ways I won't mind it.

My guess is they'll butt heads for the next year or so, their subtle attempts to stab one another in the back escalating, and then hopefully they'll both be dealt with for a while so some other villains can take the stage for a change.

And my guess for some time now has been that Kitsune's using Alopex as part of her own plan to betray Shredder because he was always just a pawn in whatever millennia-long chess game she's playing with the Rat King and the other demi-gods floating around IDW's universe. The Shredder always thinks he's all that and a bag of chips, and his hubris seems to get him every freaking time.

Can't wait to read this!!

Looks great! Can't wait to read it. Anyone knows the story's title?

Soo... Why did we get a preview that early, does the release date changed? Because if not we still have weeks to go. :ohwell:

I thought it was supposed to come out next week?

I dunno, most places say Aug.27...

Comic is scheduled to come out August 13th according to Comixology.

Anyways, Krang and Shredder finally meeting is fun but hey! Alopex is back! Along with Kitsune, who seems to have played the same subliminal command game the Rat King did with Leo. Are we to interpret that Alopex has been chosen as Kitsune's 'Knight' in the game of chess the same way Leo seem's to be the Rat King's? Could they find themselves at odds with each other because of their manipulations?

This book keeps getting better and better.

I had all but lost interest during City Fall but it's right back on top of my reading pile these last few months.

Ditto. I was nearly ready to drop it entirely after "City Fall," but it's regained my interest completely now.

Really? I've been pretty into it all along. I only briefly lost interest during Krang war, which wasn't bad but wad definitely the weakest story arch so far.

To me the series struggled to get on its feet during the first 5 issues or so but everything since then has been golden, in my opinion

I don't expect Krang and Shredder's alliance to last too long, possibly not even until issue #50

Really excited to see how this game of chess played by immortals pans out

Honestly? I don't even expect there to BE an alliance. They'll probably go their separate ways at the end of this issue.
