One day I will ask how many my store orders. I know they have a huge stack of them that never goes down.

I just know since my shop is small, they will drop books when there is no demand for them. Like yeah, they'll get the mainstream stuff, Batman, Harley, Deadpool, Spawn, etc but they won't bother to order something like say... the Life is Strange comics unless enough people ask for it and are reliable enough to actually buy it.

Like if I demand the newer TMNT issues, and then don't buy em cause the Sophie stuff turns me off, I now got a bad rap for them so when an actually good comic that kinda niche comes up, I'm just spitballing here, but imagine a Toxic Avenger comic made by a smaller company like Boom Comics, if I ask for that, they'll probably deny it cause I already told em to special order TMNT comics that I didn't buy and they're still clogging up the shelves, lmao. I try to stay cool with these guys,

Hi everyone, Issue #125 is my first ever IDW TMNT comic, so here’s some thoughts from a complete newbie.

I got cover B, which is of the Punk Frog’s being backlit by the moon. I thought it was both edgy and foreboding, particularly with how the shadows were blood coloured instead of black.



As for the contents, I wasn't crazy about the overall art style as I’d prefer something cleaner. But I did love how the look worked for Doctor Jasper Barlow, who is my favorite new character.

There seemed to be a lot of heroes, many of which I never heard of (Jennika?). It maybe felt a little crowded, but hopefully that feeling subsides once I learn more about everyone.

While the Punk Frogs seemed like cool villains, their introduction and havoc felt pretty abrupt. As a new reader, I was quite surprised to see Casey’s blood splatter when they uppercutted his face with a steel mallet. That was my second favorite panel in the comic.



The final story thread revolved around Commander Zog giving birth to the first non-clone Triceraton since herself. I didn’t understand the significance of the name Seri, but I’ve luckily found bits of info about the Styracodon around this board. I think a potential rift between the Triceraton and Utrom sounds very interesting.

Overall #125 was not bad at all. I mean a LOT happened for one issue, especially for someone who’s never read the series and is thus still trying to learn the foundation. I’ve now got some more research to do, and two more issues to catch up on.

Before I go, I’d like to highlight my favorite panel of Issue #125 below. Just a great composition of Casey being surrounded by the Punk Frogs.

I've been reading since issue 1 and I honestly couldn't name any of the newer characters.... boring stories, shallow 2d characters that just whine for 22 pages... want to read some great TMNT? Pick up anything pre-100. Post 100 is not where its at... unless you like the over crowded, stories going no where woke garbage.

Oh, man, I'm really sorry to hear that. It's the same as your first time at sea being on the Titanic, or your first visit to New York being on 9/11.

Seri Regenta was a character from the mirage comics, She's an alien species known as the Protoceratons, They are similar to the Triceratons, In that comics She and Michelangelo went off to some adventures, And she eventually became his love interest, So much so that he was the very first ninja turtle to have sex with an alien.

Not much is known on what they will do with the IDW version of the character, But I have a feeling that she and Mikey might become a pairing in the comics.

She's very adorable.

Didn’t Seri also have kids with Mikey in the Mirage comics but wouldn’t share custody and even pretended not to know him, making him hate her guts and even swear vengeance? Yeah, great love interest.

Yeah, the end of vol 4 really turned dark for Mikey... they knocked boots in the ocean, she left him on the beach, I think. Then he ends up in space, hunting her down only to fond out she had given birth to some mutant turtle/humanoid triceraton hybrid babies. Wild times.
