Another great story by the TMNTA team. It seems everytime they get together now they come up with something good. I only wish the Forever War would come out sooner...

My review:

Quote:

Tales of the TMNT vol. 2 #27: An April solo story taking place after TMNT vol. 4 #27. This issue focuses on April dealing with the truth about her “birth”, revealed back in TMNT #22. The story is a great April spotlight and beautifully plotted. The art is a little different from what TMNT readers have been seeing lately, but nice all the same an harkens a bit back to the Archie days. Watching April come to terms with her origin and finding the will to live was a great piece of character development and one of April’s strongest moments. Almost makes up for the wackiness of her origin retcon from TMNT #22. A great story for longtime TMNT readers, but the casual fan will probably find it boring.

One of the better April stories I've read.

i loved this. it's one of those weird issues where now that i look back at what happened in it, it was pretty corny… but when i was reading it, it got me. i think that's the tmnta guys' specialty. look at what they did for adventures.

what is the word on forever war? last i heard about it was last year when they originally announced that it would be out sometime this year.

I really enjoyed this issue, and could relate to how april felt, I'm sure we've all been a bit lost in life at some stage, looking for meaning.

Abou time April got back to being herself and not some cumbersome, crayon drawing Emo. Even If I am one of the origin story's strongest supporters, April went through mulitiple character traits that just were'nt her. This is the closest she's been to resembling the old MIRAGE April of old.

I enjoyed the story, and I enjoy Allan's work - but he seemed to forget that April is like 40 now, and not a young co-ed.
