And now that Hun is back too, it feels kind of underwhelming. Slash is ok only because he was brainwashed for 20 issues by Bishop before dying, so it felt unfair to him that he died after that.

Ya I feel at some point all comics bring back major characters. To be honest. I am surprised Batman hasn’t brought Alfred back yet. I also thought they would do something with splinter similar to Shen where they could leave him out of the storyline for quite a while, but it looks like he is here to stay for at least a while

It would be better if there weren't too many deliberately conflicts in the plot. The four brothers voluntarily separated and lived independently, so there was no reason for them to feel alienated and hate each others.

Since Karai could easily pinpoint the turtles' current location and confirm that they were living separately, she could have used this time to focus on her plan to open the gates of hell, instead of doing anything unnecessary or detrimental to her. In that case, the only person she might need to be wary of was Casey, then, as the veil weakens, Splinter's ghost had the opportunity to intervene and try to warn kid, while Leo may have also sensed something wrong in the astral plane during his meditation.
