Ah, so two weeks passes between #24 and #25, Karai micro's placing in timeline makes more sense now.

I was thinking Karai's micro took place at the same time as the Alopex micro since Alopex isn't in the Karai micro, and vice-versa, but I suppose that could be by design...

Very interesting that Leonardo will be Rocksteady and Bebop's ally when they first make their debut as mutants. I'm so psyched for this, can't wait to see who the two mutants at StockGen are going to turn out to be. I would like Rahzar to be one of them, actually, since Slash in this universe is more like Tokka.

Well that was a very action packed way to open an issue. I notice something about Dark Leo.

Spoiler:

He didn't kill a single Savate just leaving them mortally wounded

Next cover has my two favorite Turtles on it.

[CyberCubed]

April and Casey....oh boy.

[boywonder26]

I can not wait till Wednesday.this issue looks amazing

[corvus]

Quite a bit happens in the first few pages. I'm excited already.

[corvus]

Or Caseys dad walks in...

[CyberCubed]

It would be funny if April leaves the room and like 1 hour later Angel comes in and does the same exact thing.

And Casey is like.....Whoa.

[corvus]

And then Casey enjoys watching Angel/April kiss and then he decides to keep both of them rather than choosing one or the other.

Dammit, this sounds like shipping fuel! Good thing there are no fangirls on this forum, just look at what deviantart has about the Nick Don/April pairing.

then splinter walks in and says, "you b!#@h's are suppose to be looking for my son!, not examining each others tonsils!"


seriously though, this is getting good...soooo goood. dark leo feels so much better when mateus draws him. something about his style adds more personality to the character than when smith or eastman's renderings of him.

[***First of Two Latin Kings***]

I agree, but for some reason I want to see Ross Campbell take a crack at Dark Leo, maybe in a flashback or something.

[corvus]

Lots of stuff going on this issue. Some characters I never thought we'd see again and the last page is indescribable.

[Rooish]

Wow! That was awesome!

Spoiler:

People who are disappointed with the lack of violence/gore, how bout that splash of blood in front of Karai on page 2? How about that knife to the throat on page 10?

Don and Mike are almost doing something now in City Fall... I was starting to expect another City at War, where they're entirely brushed aside. I love the cover for the upcoming #26!

How about that intro of Hun? Page 15 blew my @(!#*@##!ing mind!

Very very tight writing! Amazing!

Spoiler:

that was Caseys dad. Not Hun. He probably has a purple dragon tat from his days with them but I swear if he dyes his hair blond and becomes Hun....

But...

Spoiler:

They're the same. Just compare his face with Santolouco's Hun design from #27's cover.
Also, that's not a tat, that's the exact same tattoo that Hun has on his back.


Angel's and Casey's past together, and their faters past was never explained with much detail, but it's very likely, that they ran the Purple Dragon together, years ago.

The best in all this, that it was all planned and hinted from issue #1, as it seems.

Spoiler:

Why is she intent on him not using lethal force? Will that be the thing that snaps Leo out of it because of it being against his core beliefs? That would be a tough way to come back for him, look how he was over Slash.

I think that's very likely. I could also imagine that meeting with Slash could break the whole braincontrol thing.
Also, a scene with Leo handing back the black mask to Slash would be an epic ending scene.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

can i ask a question?

i haven't had a chance to read any of the IDW tmnt comics, and i was wondering:

why is Leo working for the foot?

You should really start reading this IDW series, its great. Trust me, you wont regret it.

Spoiler:

Leo was kidnapped and has been brainwashed to think Splinter is bad and Shredder is his true mentor.
