Very, very small role, though, be warned.

I figured as much. More to remind us "Hey, she's still a player." I'm looking forward to Bishop/Baxter badness galore!!!

Yeah as long as she's brought up as a looming force I'm happy. Hope she appears in the main book before too long.

Well that was pretty damn good as far as series-opening issues go. The art reminded me a lot of Andy Kuhn's so its a great fit for Allor's writing, which was awesome, once again. I really loved all the interaction between the Turtles, especially Mikey and Donnie’s weapons conversation. I like Bishop so far, I'm curious to see where his storyline goes. Ditto for the back up story, except I'm ignoring all the dialogue

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 08-31-2016, 11:40 AM

Oh man. This was so good. SO good.

Really loving the Scorpion Mutant so far; great personality, curious to see where she goes. (Also wondering if she even has a name... she came from Null, so... maybe not.)

I have a feeling Detective Kara Lewis may end up helping the Turtles in this situation; she's being included for a reason.

Bishop is definitely not in a good mood. YAY for finally getting Agent Bishop.

As for the backup, well... I dunno. We'll see where it's going, I guess. It says Tom did the script, so that makes me feel better about it.

Good first issue. Excited about the new mutant, but confused as to why she doesn't have 8 arms/legs as a scorpion. We need to have more insects, would have been cool if it had been Antrax.

Didn't care for the back up, doesn't feel like Leo would say any of that. Also not sure where it even fits in the time line.

I have not been this excited since we first got Leatherhead teased in Issue #49.

Bishop is my favorite villain, and I'm uber-hyped to see what you do with him!

It was a great first issue, congratulations!

I got the feeling, from seeing Zodi interrupted by that guard that shouldn't have been there, that her mission was a setup either by Null, or Stockman somehow. The solicit for #4 does mention his surprise gambit coming to fruition. Hmm...

I'm personally thinking that Baxter's surprise gambit is betraying all the mutants and April to Bishop and the rest of the feds outside.

But we shall see!

I only just now realized that Stockman is rocking the Fred Wolf outfit. Nice yellow tie!

Good eye I had to double back to see that.

It didn't occur to me until my second read... it looks better than the dorky bowtie, too. Only Matt Smith can make a bowtie look cool.

Digging Scorpio (until she has a name I 'm calling her Scorpio) I wonder what she is looking for?

*CyberCubed* · 08-31-2016, 02:59 PM

Hm, does anyone think its weird the Turtles would let April go alone to Baxter like that? I mean they know what he's capable of, and he could have had killer robots/mousers in his room to attack her with. Seemed a bit odd to me to say the least.

I dig the new mutant character so far, and surprised to see Nick/Viacom approved of all the death. I hope she doesn't turn good like Alopex, or at least remains ambiguous. Bishop is cool like always, so far he seems identical to the 2k3 version.

The back-up has nice art so far, but the story seems like typical Eastman madness. His stories always fit Mirage more than IDW's.

You missed it; Paul chimed in with her name: "Zodi."

I can believe it. April would insist, the Turtles would agree she could give it a try as long as they remain in position to intervene if necessary. It's a risk, but not one that stretches believably. I mean, come on... April's already tried to recruit "Chet" and Professor Miller. She's the TMNT's Nick Fury.

Technogeek29 · 08-31-2016, 03:33 PM

I'v been up for hours need to sleep missing some obvious stuff too much doubling back. Yawn~ 23 hours with no sleep, not by choice, I'll catch you dudes later.

*Allio* · 08-31-2016, 06:12 PM

welp...time to put Zodi on the waifu list.

*Ninjinister* · 08-31-2016, 07:24 PM

I wanna know more about the Foot Mutants Leo fights. What are they even named?

That big second guy reminded me a little of one of the Warriors of Perfect Virtue from volume 4 (see the cover of this issue: http://www.miragelicensing.com/comic...e04/16/16.html) At least in terms of size and funny headdress... I doubt that was intentional though.
