Yeah. The book's in its third year and really hitting its stride. They've spent the first few years setting up many of the iconic characters (look how much City Fall alone did for our villain roster) and done nods to a lot of the classic storylines that everyone was clamoring for (the Baxter/TCRI combo of the origin, the war against the Foot, the adventures in space with Krang added in, Northampton, travels with Renet) while adding in the touches that make IDW unique (the reincarnation story, whatever Kitsune's up to, Old Hob). Now we're getting to the point where the book can tell original stories that surprise the long-time fans while still retaining that classic TMNT feel.
This book has been a great slow boil for the first few years and we're finally getting to where dinner's being set out on the table. Can't wait to see what we're building up to in #50.
