That's it, thanks for reminding me! That whole Japan arc was the best! Please bring in Chien Khan and his white ninjas, IDW!

Jennika's design >>> Venus' design.

Much better design, I also prefer the yellow bandana over the light blue, and the choice in weapons.

So...no response to me?

The problem with the light blue bandana is that it's redundant because Leonardo's is already blue, albeit a slightly darker shade.

I guess yellow is better, though not sure what other alternatives are left. Most of the major colors are already taken, green wouldn't do since the turtles are green themselves, white/black/gray feel awkward, pink is too cliche for a female character... Yeah, yellow's kind of the only one that can be feasibly used.

Oh, sorry! What was your question??

Back on bandanna discussion, I would have personally preferred Jennika have a white bandanna, simply because the old-school TMNT videogames sometimes made Mikey have a yellow bandanna...

It's amazing how fundamentally indistinguishable Mutant Town looks from what we saw in Turtles in Time #4... Looks like I'm going to greatly enjoy this mini!

[Andrew NDB]

Jennika could have just been the only Turtle with... no bandanna. Like, ever. Would have been fine.

Match color schemes are kind of limited, especially if you aren't trying to go "Look at me." The yellow band works simply because of the color wheel. and as someone already mentioned it would be hard to make Green work. Though campbell did do a Venus in the style of the Platinum Turtles with a light green bandana, which I feel works as Venus was already a "Light color" turtle.

Though there is white, an opposite of Slash that would work like their counterpart being a third party turtle.

And then there is the "No bandana" as Andrew mentions.

Though there is the albino turtle, very neutral.

TommyT - it's funny that you should refer to ChosenOne as "slimy", since they are solely responsible for me leaving the forum after being harassed by him in private messages.
^pun intended!

not sure if this is still the case or not, but before my falling out with ChoseOne he admitted to not actually buying the IDW comics. he'd just read them online and save his money to spend on video games.

You picked an odd time and place to try and cancel someone.

sorry, but i'm not trying to cancel anyone. just calling out a creep, the same as i called him out years ago back when it happened.


i just find his dialogue of debate very ironic, all things considered.
especially that someone that never bothered to actually buy a comic, be so vocal that other people should spend their money.

btw... welcome to the forum.

holy **** literally no one cares about your beef

[Cloudrunner]

Well in an effort to drown out that call-out and not derail the thread, and since no one seemed to be talking about it, I guess I might as well give my thoughts on the first issue. It was about what I was expecting, and that's not really a compliment. Most of what happens is fairly predictable and cliche, and the few scenes that really helped show her character were marred with some oddly whimsical dialogue. And unfortunately the big reveal, and what seems to be the crux of this mini, was already revealed by the synopsis of the other books. Some of the best parts of the book, and IMO the recent mainline books, is the continued worldbuilding of Mutant Town. I really wouldn't mind a miniseries just detailing the adventures of random characters in the town.

Spoiler:

The meeting with Casey unfortunately seems to occur after their breakup, so it was pretty short and awkward. I really would have liked to see that actual moment, cause I feel like it would have helped her character growth and kind of explain why she decided to become some protector of mutant town. But maybe that kind of relationship drama would have taken up too much page space for a TMNT book.

Speaking of taking up page space, we got the obligatory scene that happens in every single new female superhero comic in which she beats up a bunch of buffoonish misogynists that tell her she doesn't belong. Thus proving all the haters wrong, once and for all! (Did you clap? I clapped.)

Spoiler:

I think the most interesting part of the book was introducing Silas. That's probably the most important character development she's had thus far and I would like to see a begrudging teamup between Jennika and him going forward with this mini. I'm NOT looking for any relationship development there, I just think that it would help build her character to have someone to play off of, and the ex that both drove her to a life of crime and abandoned her seems like a good choice.

[daggio]

The solicitation mentions a brand new villain. No OBVIOUS antagonist showed up here. Maybe Silas or even Vincent are gonna turn out to be villainous later on? Or maybe those two troublemakers that Jennika beat the crap out of? I would venture to guess that Silas will be the villain cuz of the past, but he did nothing outwardly antagonistic here, but still two issues to go.

I don't know if there's gonna be a continuation of the short, but if there is, I really hope that they don't start implying that Jennika's rat was actually Splinter. That was my first thought, and it wasn't a positive thought either.

[rayfillet101]

I hate to say it, I try to be positive, but I just don't care for the art or the color pallet here. Jennika is a great character and I am glad we are looking into her history and still exploring Mutant Town, but the art is distracting for me. I liked the art in Ronda's story a lot more.
