The Shredder versus The Rat King? So why is Rat King going after The Shredder?

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

I am still very interested in this issue! Should be good!

Indeed! Shredder,Rat King, Leatherhead,Krang, and Karai, all the evil or not so evil goodness a TMNT can want! At least IDW is putting out different flavors at the same time since the main title currently is not my thing and I was very happy with the Power Ranger crossover. I just hope my glee from these two projects do not make me over expect across the board since post#100 is not doing it for me.

So is Kitsune reformed or is she evil? It looks like agent of choas Rat King could be the only remaining pure evil of the semi-immortal Pantheon.

When this come out??

That's where you are wrong. 80Gmrp and I have a special arrangement. He will be reading that book if he knows what is good for him!

I'll give you an 8/10 for the cheese factor alone.

This is true.




Talk soon...

Part of me regrets posting in this thread again, but here it goes...

I'm feeling marginally better now, not because of thinking about this issue and my reaction to it (even if I realize the latter was a bit too emotional), but because I ended up learning of a glimmer of hope (for me, at least) that's irrelevant to this issue, though it is still TMNT relevant.

That's not the only reason why I'm posting here again, however. I also made a mistake: judging from IDW's website, initial ship date is actually the 24th (I was referring to old posts in the other thread for this issue when I assumed tomorrow), and it will be a limited print run for Comic Con attendees, meaning the best shot for the rest of us, including me, to know what happens in it is to pray that one of the receivers scans and uploads them somewhere.

Should be in stores 7/29, my friend. And you being a Leatherhead fan, I think you're gonna dig it.

Talk soon...

I wouldn't worry about the comic con thing, they'll just be getting limited edition covers, the issue itself should be available on all the usual digital outlets by the end of next week.😉

[80gmrp]

Got it. I thought it seemed a bit weird that so few people would be able to read something like this: the limited edition covers make more sense. Thank you both for clarifying about that.

Additional thanks to Tom for the assurance. Truthfully, your likely guess is correct: Leatherhead’s role is the reason I’ve been so uneasy.

I'm really excited for this since I fully expect it to jumpstart the series post #100. Dont get me wrong, I've completely loved everything since 100 even with it being a slow burn, story/character building arc so far, but it will be nice to see something "up the ante" so to speak.

I also hope this leads to more use of the Pantheon, specifically the Rat King since I think this version of the character is the most interesting of all the different versions!

Not to mention, I was bummed that in the City At War we got that 1 panel of Leatherhead in the shadows watching and then nothing else. I was hoping for more from him in that story but I'm curious about where this will take him!

If you didn't read the Epilogue of #100, you might wanna check it out before you read the Annual, bgb1018. Pretty important stuff in regards to the big lizard... and a certain pesky Utrom.

Talk soon...

What did you do to Mondo Geko and Mortu?

I know you're joking but considering Leatherhead and Krang are on the cover, there would hardly be a need to vague about it, it could very well be that other characters fitting those descriptions pop up.

Also, has Mortu appeared at any point? If he did, it might have been a small cameo.

I'll have to go back and look at it. I'm sure I read it but may have just forgot about what was in it since the City At War finale was so massive with so much happening. Appreciate the response!

It's after the Ninja Notes and Ronin teaser pages, so I guess if you're not fussed about reading anything beyond the story pages, it would be easy to miss.
