The only other Tales issue with no Turtles was that one with April going on self-discovery after she found out she was a drawing.

I don't think the karai-centric story "The Amulet" (Tales 44) had any turtles in it either.

I really hope it is a follow up to the last scene in Tales #55 where we got to see a future Raph alone with his thoughts, teddy bear and April robot.

EDIT:
Wow, did that setence just sound as disturbing as I think it did?

Confirmed that it's about Future Shadow. She's "mowing down Foot" and "looking for someone."

Sweeeeeeeeet.

Now Karai approaching Shadow about joining the Foot Clan in early Vol. 4 makes slightly more sense. That looks like a Foot uniform to me.

At least Tales has been fixing some of Vol. 4's plotholes.

Looking for someone??? Hmm... considering the location maybe it's Raph?

Maybe it's Mike she's looking for - as he seems to be lost in the future (at least from Raph's perspective at the end of Tales 55)

"In the post-apocalyptic future, Casey Jones’ daughter, Shadow, is on a
manhunt – and she’s mowing down any members of the Foot Clan foolish
enough to get in her way."

Nothing new really, but that's all Dan could tell me.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned...

So the world gets destroyed in the future? I guess there must have been some major war with all the aliens living on Earth during Volume 4. Maybe the Xihad guys succeeded in getting the "alien scum" off the planet.

I also hope we see a bit of the older Turtles in this, and maybe Mikey if that's what it is.

*ToTheNines* · 02-04-2010, 01:53 PM

I hope this isn't an alternate future story...

Because the earth isn't actually post-apoclytic in Tales 40, 41 or Loops, or Gizmo/Fugitoid.

Can't wait to find out.

Could've recovered.

*ToTheNines* · 02-04-2010, 02:07 PM

Makes sense, since Shadow ain't that old lookin on the cover and there's a HUGE gap between the last issue of Volume 4 and the earliest "Future Era" story.

*CyberCubed* · 02-04-2010, 02:08 PM

Shadow looks to be in her late 20's or early 30's on the cover.

Damn, and I thought I would get to point that out.

Yeah, I bet this story involves Shadow having joined the Foot at some point. Possibly out for revenge?

Also, looks like the setting might explain the future Raph segment at the end of #55, but I won't hold my breath.

***First of Two Latin Kings*** · 02-04-2010, 03:22 PM

End of #55? Which series?

Tales Vol 2, "A Day in the Life." We see a very old Raph in a ruined, flooded city.

Maybe. What other reason is Shadow going on a quest to kill Foot Soldiers and find the answers to?

Didn't Dan Berger write #55 too? If he did, its possibly linked.

*ToTheNines* · 02-04-2010, 03:27 PM

He most certainly did
