Thank you, I do all of it by hand, it's a hell of a lot of work.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Taking right off where we were before. And it's time for the Kraang to turn the tables.

You didn't think they'd make it easy for the Turtles to stop the invasion, did you?

So Leo and April have been intercepted and brought to somewhere else entirely, but where are they and why were they sent there in the first place?

Too bad for the Hamato clan soldiers, but they'll have their day eventually.

Well, Stick wasted no time taking April out, but what was his reason for doing so, what threat did she pose to him?

And what exactly makes Stick the perfect warrior to take the Turtles out? All will be revealed...

[The Great Saiyaman]

So what was Stick referring to when he told Leo that he wouldn't be the one fighting him?

What has he up his sleeve?

Donnie's naginata is actually one of the deadliest weapons the Turtles have, even deadlier than Leo's Katana blades.

For some reason, I couldn't get the color dark enough, so I darkened it using digital manners.

[The Great Saiyaman]

Updated this one quicker than I thought.


Well, we have seen what the main flaw was with the brain worms Baxter Stockman invented in the series itself: they allowed the victim to keep their personality intact. Which meant that with emotions running high, the brain worm would lose control over the victim, allowing them to break free.

Of course Baxter Stockman would have improved over that, by having Stick's mind control turn his victims mindless, but as he's quick to find out, that itself has a flaw too...

And it's Shredder beating the Ninja Turtles all over again...

Using the adrenaline provided by the "Fight or flight" mode he was in, Leo mopped the floor with his brothers, who thanks to Stick's mind control were not fighting like they usually would.

But with the adrenaline wearing off, in comes the fatigue caused by the loss of blood.

[The Great Saiyaman]

And so another chapter starts. This particular cover recalling the one I did for Chapter 11, with Karai in a dynamic pose.

Although to be honest, I'm not quite happy with how this one came out, but hey I committed myself to this. I was going to name this chapter after an Iron Maiden album, but couldn't decide on which one. "Powerslave", and "Piece of mind" were contenders. But in the end I went with "X-Factor" which is the album which for me personally, make me fall in love with Maiden all over again. "Man on the edge" has since remained one of my all time favorite Maiden songs.


I'm nearly done with the upcoming new pages and they shall see the return of a TMNT 2012 character who we haven't seen in a long while.

[The Great Saiyaman]

And so we continue. Well, Leo is still in the sewer, wounded by Donnie's Naginata and having lost a lot of blood is getting delirious.

And welcome back Captain Ryan, been a long time. This was a fun scene to do, drawing and coloring in the Filmation style that "Space heroes" spoofed, with my own style as a contrast to that.

[The Great Saiyaman]

While Leo is still hallucinating being a part of Captain Ryan's crew, his fiancée and her clone arrive at his location, and not a second too soon.

Making good use of Yarruhk's knowledge and Karai's ability as a snake mutant, the two set to work saving Leo's life.

[The Great Saiyaman]

So Leo wakes up after having been cauterized by Yarruhk, which also ends his tenure star trekkin' across the universe in star ship Dauntless under captain Ryan.
(Let's see how many of you recognize what this is a reference to…)

But he's not out of the woods just yet.


It was cool to mention Victor Falco here, since he was the only version of the Rat king with a clear backstory.

And why hello Bebop and Rocksteady, even though I depicted Anton Zeck and Ivan Steranko clones in my story from very much the first chapter, it was fun to have the guys themselves appear. They are VERY difficult to get right, but I did my very best.

[The Great Saiyaman]

And so we go on.

In the episode "Chinatown ghost story" Ho Chen's mind control over the Turtles was compromised when Pizza came into play. This time around Stick's mind control is much more thorough, although, as he finds out, still flawed.

I tried some new color combinations on the Turtles, Raph and Donnie came out exactly how I intended, Mikey on the other hand is too dark in shade. That's the risk you have when working with alcohol pens, one shade off and you're screwed.

I can't remember seeing Splinter go full anime in the series, so depicting Stick spazzing out was a lot of fun to do. His rant was inspired by the long version of David Lee Roth's "Goin' Crazy" music video. Which for some sad reason cannot be found on youtube anymore, but to give a little gist: Roth plays the role of a very obese record producer. Who's slim brother quips that he was "the one in the yearbook, most likely to explode."

I love that analogy, so I used it in this page.
