I'm liking how April got the wet moon treatment with the thickness.

IDW has really done a commendable job of matching artist style to story tone in this series.

Agreed, the frequent artist shifts has actually become exciting because they have all been so great and relevant to the story. One can't miss an artist too long either as they will probably be back for a micro. I love IDW.

I don't understand those people. At least here in the TMNT fandom he gets nothing but love.

Well I'm not a fan. Than again I wasn't going to buy the comic anyway.

I think the style is pretty good. I think Santolouco was better for drawing April and Casey, but I like Campbell's Turtles way better. He keeps the different body shapes/sizes but doesn't make Mikey and Donnie look like wusses. I'm really excited for a mellower arc.

Spoiler:

The preview mentions a stowaway... given Ross's Deviant art, I'm guessing Alopex?

Look at the March Solicitations thread at the cover.

Spoiler:

yup, Alopex

[ProphetofGanja]

this whole arc seems like its going to be awesome. I'm looking forward to seeing the Turtles have some downtime. and the conclusion looks like it'll be pretty exciting!

[BabyTurtles]

I never buy comics (unless it's a book with a bunch of issues in it)

but I might buy these!! *_*

[Rooish]

Does anyone else think it's funny that

Spoiler:

Raph and Mike are sitting on the couch in the van, leaving their broken-legged father to huddle on the floor?

[Technogeek29]

Did anybody notice Donnie has a bruise where some of the bandage covering his leg is coming undone? Also the giant overview of the far shows the various places the covers following #29 take place.

[Eiko]

Loving it just cant wait.

maybe he was uncomfortable sitting....on the couch...with his leg? XD

[Blossombrooks]

I absolutely love the art in this issue but then I'm a sucker for RC's style. I'm also loving...

Spoiler:

The inclusion of Alopex, she's an intriguing character and I can't wait to see her involvement in this arc. I wonder if she has a message for Leo too?

Not loving Raph's temper, I know he's a hothead but feel it was a tad overdone, still maybe it's justified considering what they've been through. I just wanted him to back off on his own merit and be the bigger person but perhaps that'll come later.

Spoiler:

arts good, story was disappointing, seemed short. Huge cliff hanger at the end

I was thinking this as well...

Spoiler:

I wonder if she will reveal to Leo the fact that shredder did brain wash him???

Here's my review of TMNT #29 at TMNT Entity.

Well, I'm hoping that with the book slowing down we can get to know the characters again. They were kind of getting lost in all the story during "City Fall".

Alopex was the big surprise, as I wasn't anticipating seeing her so soon. Ought to be interesting to see how her relationship with the Turtles changes. I liked how Raph was the one to totally hate her guts and brought up how she lied to him about her origin in the past. Nice little pull there to make his resentment and suspicions toward her feel more legit (as well as pointing out that Leo's defense of her could just be residual Foot brainwashing).

The stuff with Alopex was the most interesting bit of the issue. There was some stilted dialogue (April's mom's melodramatic speech at the end) and as much as I love Campbell, he can get maybe a little *too* cute with the characters from time to time, but all in all it was a nice change up.

Dunno if the book'll be staying in Northampton for more than just the 4 issues, but I hope the characters will get to start growing again.

http://markandpaigerodriguez.blogspo...on-part-1.html My own review. I literally turned off my comp to make sure I wouldn't get spoiled by Spengler or anyone else before I got to read this. It's about time we see April with both her parents.

The solicit for #32 states they were being chased out of Northampton just as they were New York City. Most likely has to do with Shredder's pet hawk now a mutant giving them trouble.

I wonder if all the way back with Raphael one shot that the IDW gang knew Shredder's ritual would back fire and she would make nice with the TMNT or if it came into play later?

April's father retired from StockGen on disability I see. Interesting and makes inspiration for April's interest in biology. What do her parents know of the ooze variant of mutagen that seems to be a big deal?

[Ninjinister]

It's good to have a nice "breather" episode after such a giant event. Even if we do have Alopex skulking around and Koya butting in eventually, this is destined to be much slower than the previous arc.

[MikeandRaph87]

Here is a better look at Koya,Shredder's pet hawk. I did not realize the mutant was already named and was female. That helps diversify the gender of mutants more.
