YES!!!

Oh man... Donny's gonna get WRECKED.

And I've been waiting ever since Volume 5 "Krang War" to see Raphael take on Krang. "This gun' be good."

The Splash on the previously/variant cover page.
I love to see Bebop and Rocksteady take centre stage!

I'm also a massive Donnie fan so i'm hoping he gets the upper hand!

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I was honestly expecting Stockman to pitch in and be forced to help the Turtles and Honeycutt take down Krang, but this is just as believable and enjoyable for me. Man, is Stockman ever a slimy SOB!

[Shedder]

Looks like Don is in trouble. Metalhead doesnt seem like a formidable foe for the likes of R+B. Think Alopex & Nobody come and at least bail Don out after he takes a beating within an inch of his life?
This has been a great 4 parter and definitely looking forward to the final chapter in this arc. The run to 50 is looking to be amazing

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Honestly, the invincibility of Bebop and Rocksteady is beginning to wear a little thin and stretch credulity for me.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seeing them wreck havoc, but it seems to me that Metalhead shouldn't be so easy for them to dispatch. He has freaking lasers. Being bulletproof and surviving electrocution, surviving lasers, the collapse of multi-story buildings...

If the TMNT were to use lethal force, how exactly do they go about it? Not to get too graphic, but stab them in the eye? Or the mouth, like Karai was going to stab Rocksteady back in the micro?

These guys are like Bay Turtles. Which isn't a bad thing (for B&R, it kinda makes sense), but is starting to become (for me) just a tad unbelievable...

I purposely stayed away from any and all things TMNT once I heard #44 had a crazy

Spoiler:

first for the entire series in all it's 30 years... a major death. If I am right, I think the Turtles have been battered and beaten pretty hard in the past: Don becoming a robot, Raph loosing an eye, and Splinter dying from a heart attack or something of the like.

but this was completely different.

In the main, I finally received my TMNT books from my shop in Phoenix... 5-6 issues behind plus variants = $70+ (I still have all my other books down there).

Spoiler:

How horrific and sad. And to get Bebop and Rocksteady to do it... My favorite Turtle and 2 of the classic villains I enjoyed so much. Unfortunately they have a sour taste in my mouth now... and I had loved that punk-rock Micro Villain issue.

.

Thought I would return to the board, now that I'm not longer having to hide from spoilers.
What I'm hoping from this:

Spoiler:

Somehow a revival of Donatello, perhaps through the use of that book introduced in Secret History of the Foot Clan and brought back in #42-43. There was a point I thought he might have his conscience moved to Metalhead but I cant see that happening at this time.
Plus, this is something that is going to take time to "fix", if they even plan on fixing it. I cant see them backpeddle on this event in 2 issues...

I'll take a pic of all my covers soon.
I'm also working on Zombie B.C. #2 so that's taken a lot of time. I'm behind on movies and TV shows, no gaming in the last few months either as a result haha.

I like it... but I'm really glad I read the books now. I had so many occasions where this was getting spoiled.

Spoiler:

Like a friend posted a video on my Facebook of a panda spinning a stick around and he said "He must have taken lessons from Donatello. Anothr friend commented out of the blue and said "RIP Donatello". I was so livid at my friend who did that... and she had no idea what the problem was. Another friend drew up a tribute image as well, and I saw it for a very brief moment... enough to register what it was and I jumped the page so I wasn't looking at it. Oi lol.

So as someone who knows, finally, whats happened, it's pretty cool. Although I wouldn't own it.

I reserve the right to laugh maniacally at anyone who did. Because if you've actually been reading the book you knew he wasn't dead.
