TMNT #87 Preview and Discussion

I wish they told Bishop's backstory in TMNT Universe, felt really jarring in the middle of this arc to go to a 3 page flashback story. I feel like they could have cut out that silly issue of Universe with the Turtles hiding from Triceratons and maybe condensed the other Triceraton backstory to one issue instead of two, and told Bishop's backstory there. I think that's one of the big losses of Universe, now they have to give pages in the main series to this stuff and it sort of takes us out of the action.

Overall the art in this issue looked better than usual, the artist was definitely giving it 110%. The story definitely looks like it's going to be a bit rushed (there's only 1 more issue in this arc, oddly enough), so I have no idea how they'll stop Bishop and let Ch'rell do what he wants. My guess is the Turtles will just rescue Slash and immediately teleport out, while Bishop tells the EPF to retreat. But Ch'rell is now out loose to take control of the Utroms and Triceratons and do what he wants.

Mutagen Man feels kinda irrelevant. Whatever Sally is doing will probably be shown in the next issue, unless she's just spying on Null or whatever.

Feels like this is a great story but needed another issue or two to breath, and next issue there's still going to be more flashbacks of Bishop's backstory which will take up page time. As I said before I wish Bishop's backstory was told in Universe already instead.
