Alright, I'll admit that the joke might be a little bit of a reach.

It's a play on "Do you think all black guys look alike?". There's not much reason to assume this character is Xever and if he is then that would mean his first appearance is after he already died, which is something I doubt anyone would decide is a good idea unless they dislike the character. Xever is however really just a character who was pretty much just created to be turned into cyborg fishman, meaning he's way more recognisable as Fishface and some people may forget what his human form looked like in the first place.

So since Xever's fish form is mainly what he's known for looking like and since that's the form he'd most likely take if anyone ever cares to reintroduce him, the joke is really just that this random background character would look like a fish by drawing that comparison. That's really just it.

Preview's here

Spoiler:

The old Purple Dragons looks more dangerous than the bufoons we know. This Ghost-Zombie thing is interesting. You can come back in exchange of a life ? They will resurrect a bunch of characters, won't they ?
Something tells me Hun's coming back for good huh

[TheLabRat]

Not surprising that Hun is ultimately an irredeemable person. I wonder if these old Purple Dragons will go to hell or other worse place if they die again.

When did Allor start going by "Pallie"? I don't think I've ever heard of that as an actual name, just as a cutesy variation of "Pal" similar to "Hey there, Pallie!".

Anyway, I guess Hun is back now and that he really does not like unfair killing?

Sometimes the one off are really good.

He (They?) came out as non-binary years ago but only just started using Pallie professionally.

Nice issue if you care about the 3 main characters, but really is an appetizer to the City That Never Dies arc.

Spoiler:

I agree with the narrator, Hun shouldn't have been brought back to life, but here we are.
However it seems that he became deadlier than before, did death change him somehow ?
I have enough reasons to think he'll be one of the antagonists the Turtles will face in the next arc. But I don't think he'll be enough to give the Turtles an impossible night.

On the other end, Slash is struggling with his guilt, and it was a good idea to oppose him to Hun. I hope he'll learn to move on in the future, he doesn't deserve the suffering. The friendship he has with Ninjara surprisingly works.

I think it was cool that this issue explains how the Death of "Death" and the broken veil works, they really went all out with this idea.

Spoiler:

So Link died, but he will return as a zombie from, I'm curious if Malo and Chun will die in this arc? In many works, we've seen undead creatures driven either by their most primal instincts or the death amplifies their pre-death obsessions.

This could also have happened to Splinter, Tang Shen, and Shredder. Although they have a stronger will to resist, they may still be affected over time. I think Shredder and Splinter may already be showing signs of this.

Not fond of the idea of every major character who died coming back to life, this isn't Dragon Ball Z. But I hope most of it is temporary and ends with the next arc. Slash can stay alive though.

Would have been fun to see these two find an apartment in mutant town and living like the odd couple.

This wasn't very good or memorable. Other than that god awful Street Fighter crossover, I've always liked Allor well enough. Perhaps they were handicapped by the scope of this story, since it mostly comes off as "hey, let's check in with these 3 characters before they appear in the ongoing soon".

Although, the dialogue was pretty atrocious. These are supposed to be hardened criminals, but they're going around saying stuff like "keep the tax, Buster!", "we're both hit, you beautiful bonehead!", "get away!" and a couple other weird lines.

I also don't like the concept of the Purple Dragon's existing during Prohibition-era America. They're clearly an 80's NYC thing straight out of The Warriors. I don't see them going back to the 1920's.

I also thought it was weird to misdirect us from the conflict of Slash vs. Hun. They have a very brief dust up, then never cross paths again.

Delgado is always on fire and I did think Gavin Smith was a great choice for this kind of story. I didn't care for his stint on the ongoing a while back. Something about his art is very unsettling, but lacking the charm of say Pablo Tunica. But he was the perfect fit for this creepy "zombie" story.

Yeah the Link thing was semi-interesting. He's been around since 2011. Kinda funny that he was running around still doing chump **** with Chun and Malo in the Casey mini, now he's boss of the Dragons.

Was that Chun who got beat up by Slash when he interfered with the mugging?
