TMNT Vol 4 #31!!! - Page 4

Bjarni · 10-27-2010, 12:33 PM

I liked this issue.

Too bad that so little had to happen story-wise.
I'm really interested to see how it all turns out in the end, all six of the current continuing stories.

I also wish the Turtles would reunite. I have missed them together in vol. 4 since Splinter's funeral.

The Battle Nexus story is currently the most interesting.

If the theory that this Karai is from another world, it might explain why those Aztec guys were attacking them. Maybe they were ordered to get them back to their own dimension?
It would also explain why Splinter wants to meet with this world's Leonardo, because it's his world that is being attacked.
But that would also mean that the Battle Nexus Shredder could be evil, which I hope not because I would love to his an incarnation of Shredder as a comrade to Leo.

I'm really happy to see new material on the Turtles. I look forward to more Turtles comics.

Finally got myself to read it. It ain't bad but was one of the more slower issues, showing us most of the subplots in snippets. It was good to see April again. Very interesting ending with Splinter popping up, even if its alternate version. Yeah it was also good to see the old style duo shade tonings for 8 pages anyway. The thing I can't get over is Don. How did he make a robot body all of a sudden when he's so small? All the pieces and components. It was funny to see he could sleep in there. Made himself a house. Wonder how the #32 (if that ever gets completed) would go?

It was a worker droid from Fugitoid's planet. It was already functioning, Donatello just made it look more like a Turtle. Leonardo, April and Raphael were shown aiding him in starting the production, we can assume that he didn't finish it alone...

Thanks its been so long since the last issue had come out. Should've looked back.

Well I just read this entire forum and the comic, in a different order of course. I enjoyed it This is completely different than anything I read. I hope that one day it will be finished, and yes as one story read from 1-finish would be a really good story.

I like vol 4 because it isnt like anything else its an actual story its not a character based story like most comics, its a story with characters in it.

It's an alternate Splinter, much like that alternate Oroku Yoshi Shredder.

I'd have to disagree, he looks and acts like Mirage Splinter. There wouldn't be a big reveal at the end if it was some other random rat.

Of course it is possible that the two Splinters met at the Battle Nexus and switched places... and it's possible that Laird had some explanation for it.
But I doubt that was the case.
I'm pretty sure that the reveal was the fact that there was an alternative Splinter who had learned that an alternative Leonardo was at the Battle Nexus, it's been a while since I read the issue but I'm pretty sure that it was also explained to him (maybe offscreen) that this is his first time there and that he doesn't really understand the rules or how things work (something that the real Splinter probably would have explained to him if he hadn't had died so unknowingly). So, with the real Splinter dead. The alternative Splinter is going to meet with him and explain to him what is the situation.

If there really is a lot of different theories about what was going on, I think we should maybe ask mr. Laird what his plans were, seeing that they might never come to fruition.

Checked Peters blog and the TMNT V4 #31 pages aren't up anymore thru him. Unless this is a minor thing and its somewhere else on his blog. Need to resort to Andrews site to read it, just giving an update (if I'm unaware of something, don't listen to me).

Peter separated his blog into two blogs, one personal and one TMNT, a while back. TMNT Vol. 4 #31 is still available on the TMNT blog at http://peterlairdstmntblog.blogspot....lume-4-31.html .
