I thought this was an exquisite issue. Hoping for more (as most of us are).

Wonder if the twist threw a wrench into Odyssey. Andrew?

Not even remotely.

Splinter is not in Odyssey at all? And by that I mean Mirage Splinter?

Just finished....and all i have to say is:
CURSE YOU PETER LAIRD!!!

So many new plot threads and cans-o-worms opened and who knows how long it will take to have them all resolved.

*CyberCubed* · 05-16-2014, 08:18 PM

There's only 3 long-running plots still going:

1. The Virtuous Warriors. This ties in with the Battle Nexus, the two Splinter's, Oroku Yoshi, and everything else. This is all just one huge plot incorporating a lot of different characters.

2. Mikey wanting revenge against the Regenta and the Stryacodons while working with the Triceratons. We still don't know if Mikey actually had real kids with her or not.

3. April returning home to meet Casey/Shadow and whatever Karai did with Casey. Nothing special.

Raphael's plotline with the vampires is done. Remember those vampires were all arrested in a previous issue, and Raph is back to normal. Likewise Donnie's plot with the talking mutated lizards and the Utroms is over...he's just still tiny.

I think the only other minor subplot is the Xihad extremist groups who hate the Utroms...but they're low on the scale and probably will be dealt with off-screen.

Tazi · 05-17-2014, 08:58 AM

I think the storylines will run together soon. Leo will meet the "original" Splinter, Raph & Don will find out about the Battle Nexus too, and will enter too. I'm guessing Mikey will deal with the Styracodons and then will join the last fight against the Virtue somehow.

I don't get all the "but why are the attacking the foot?" questions, it's about a 100% explained. The Foot released books about their magic, Leo and Karai talked about that some issues ago. Now it was stated that:
1.) Oroku Yoshi not just have nothing to do with the foot clan, he doesn't even know what is it.
2.) The Warriors of Virtue aare gainst anyone who use magic. But it was almost obvious back at that Karai/Leo talk.

So it's explained, the only thing we don't know is why they hate magic users so much they want to vanish them from all multiverse.

*Ninjinister* · 05-17-2014, 02:26 PM

Anyone notice the Quazine?

*Candy Kappa* · 05-17-2014, 02:29 PM

Not really a fan of the Splinter thing, it feels too... Superhero comic book.

Especially since PL said he's not a fan of bringing characters back from the dead.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-17-2014, 04:28 PM

And the way Splinter died felt so natural, and ominous with the spirit of the Rat King lurking in the background.

What's next. Saki didn't actually die?

*Powder* · 05-17-2014, 05:31 PM

Loved reading this. Man, how I've missed having a new Mirage book... It always brought me such a good feeling, and that same feeling came rushing back to me as I opened the cover. The thick pages, Pete's lengthy intros & personalized exterior, everything was as it should be.

& all the plot stuff certainly gets you invested! I agree with whoever mentioned it earlier, that Lavigne's inks better suit Lawsons pencils. Looked real sharp towards the end!

I'm not not a fan of it, but I do agree. For one reason or another though, I have a feeling that there may have been some foreshadowing of a situation like this in a past issue, be it Tales or otherwise... So I'm really curious & hoping that's the case because Ima be like OH SNAP WHAAAAT THAT'S ILL if so. If not, then I may feel more in line with how you do now.

*CyberCubed* · 05-17-2014, 07:51 PM

I don't think PL will bring Splinter back to life. I think there's something we're missing

*DrSpengler* · 05-18-2014, 10:11 AM

Got mine in the mail yesterday.

*CyberCubed* · 05-18-2014, 05:13 PM

Can anyone ask Dan when this issue will be on the Mirage website? I'm surprised its still not available to order from Mirage. I'm not paying Steve Lavinge's ridiculous shipping prices.

TheWarrior97 · 05-18-2014, 08:33 PM

Got my issue and print in the mail yesterday. Both crease damaged. Damn mail man. Proper packing is essential in this "mail world"

Mobius37 · 05-18-2014, 10:28 PM

I got mine in the mail earlier this week and unfortunately my mailman stuffed it in my apartment mailbox (he fit it by bending it), instead of leaving it with the front desk, as they do with larger packages.

*Shogun26* · 05-18-2014, 10:48 PM

Got my two comic issues from steve. My mailman creased the top of the shipping envelope, but it didn't impact the comics. I should be getting my other comics from a friend tomorrow. Hoping he doesn't shove it in my box. Now waiting to find out if I was the last person to order a print.

I've also decided not to read the actual print copies, but read it online. Even tho I know I will be missing the turtle tracks and pictures.

thingy · 05-19-2014, 01:20 AM

Actually the online copy includes Turtle Tracks/the pics so you'll still be able to look at those.

I'll be ordering a print copy when it appear on the Mirage site.

*DrSpengler* · 05-19-2014, 08:24 AM

Yeah, my copy got stuffed in my apartment mail box, too, rather than sent to the office like all my other packages.

Luckily, the bag and boarding inside the envelope absorbed most of the damage, so the issue-itself didn't get any folds or creases.
