Dude, I've been saying that since jumpstreet here. But Tom (or was it Bobby? one of the two) flat out said that Saki isn't an Utrom in this universe.

Which, of course, may just turn out to be a technicality. i.e., "Shredder's not an Utrom, he's a Kraang. Or some other brain-like being that isn't called an Utrom." I really hope that's not the case on any of those fronts. If Saki is an alien, after Baxter gets mutated/turned into a cyborg/whatever IDW has planned for him (which is kind of an inevitability)... who exactly is left as the "normal" villains of the Turtles? I've always loved while, yes, the Turtles can have some fairly fantastical, even intergalactic villains, that their arch enemy is just a regular dude. A regular dude that also happens to be an uber ninja, but a regular human dude just the same.

I think I'd be OK with any kind of plot device they want to use for explaining how Saki arrived in the 21st century from Feudal Japan as long as it doesn't make him not human. Stumbled onto some Utrom tech and found a way to travel to the future? Great, I'm on board. Through his own ingenuity, unlocked the secret to semi-immortality? I'm fine with that too, as long as he's not invincible. Some kind of sorcery/extradimensional manipulation? If it's not too wacky then I'm OK too. Some form of multi-generational cloning or something? There's a precedent for it in Mirage, that's fine.

I don't think I'm allowed to share anything from TMNT yet but I have some color examples on my DA http://angieness.deviantart.com/gallery/30211213 I also got to do flat duty on James Stokoe's Godzilla:Half Century War that's coming out from IDW tomorrow and you'll see me in Peter Panzerfaust for Image next month!

*Donnie* · 08-14-2012, 10:18 PM

Those look spectacular...ESPECIALLY Eastman's. Wow...brilliant.

Matches Malone · 08-14-2012, 10:43 PM

Eastman's piece is one of my favorite TMNT covers yet! Of ANY series! Reminds me of that great scene in #11. A nice introspective moment with the family which has always been all too rare.

*CyberCubed* · 08-14-2012, 10:51 PM

More importantly, it looks like this issue will finally show Splinter training the Turtles. I hope they remember that Raphael still, "barely" knows his family.

*Powder* · 08-15-2012, 12:13 AM

Daaaaaaaaaamn, those variant covers are SLAMMIN'.

Lampy · 08-15-2012, 03:27 AM

Covers b and c are amazing. but Eastman's is by far the best.

*Powder* · 08-15-2012, 01:51 PM

No doubt about it. I can only imagine what his cover will sell for on ebay, as it's one of his coolest pieces EVER.

What If the Shredder/Oroku's secret is he the host of Ch'rell. Oroku Saki would still be human, But he's sharing his body with Ch'rell.

There Hun if IDW decided to used him and he's regular human Villain.

corvus · 08-15-2012, 06:25 PM

Seriously. People are still talking about Ch'rell. Sorry but that's freakin retarded. He's not going to appear in this comic!!!

Lookin' good! I'm excited for this.

That dream in the beginning reminds me of Adventures Special #11.

Determined to make a difference, April starts to investigate suspicious circumstances at Stockgen Labs. What she finds will have serious repercussions for herself... and the Turtles!

I assume that means it takes place before the Casey micro then.

Toby Barrett · 08-24-2012, 08:06 PM

Right. It'd pretty much have to with what happened in the events of Casey and #13.
