Tales of the TMNT #68
I hope old Jake took a long hard look at Volume 4 #9 before he wrote this one.
Out on the 24th, I believe. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_LzXvrxnHL-...les68.pg13.jpg http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_LzXvrxnHL-...-h/scan001.jpg Last edited by ToTheNines; 03-20-2010 at 07:44 PM. |

Um... so this is like... the TMNT practicing an adventure inside the human body to pose as data for the TMNT NanoBots for later on or something...???

Nah, apparently Robyn has cancer and the Turtles have to go fight it out or something. It's inspired by Jake Black's own battle with cancer.

This is something of a touching issue since the author himself has a battle with cancer. I'll go into it with an open mind since this hit closer to home.

Got mine today.
My review. As a commentary on his own personal struggles with cancer, it was a very feel-good and triumphant sort of story. Taken objectively, without knowledge of any of the behind the scenes stuff, its sort of just average (not bad, but not particularly stand-out). An alright issue, though. "A Klunk Adventure" was a surprise bonus, though Lawson really doesn't need to keep drawing gigantic buttholes on animals. |

And Lawson's art thrives on its quirky details; otherwise it would seem very flat. Also, this is the weirdest post I have ever written. |

You're obviously not trying hard enough.

Drspengler has quite an accurate review on it. Its got somewhat of a rushed pace which does at times feel hollow but I suppose its better then the bland, lets drag this out kinda schtick alot of other turtle stories have had. I looked at it as more of a 'wow theres alot coming at me at once' thing rather then the 'this is like a kids cartoon in the sense that everything miraculously comes together in a short period of time' point of view. Deffinately enjoyable nonetheless, I laughed at mikeys small comments & thoroughly enjoyed the backstory, though it was very short. Better then 66 by far so thats a plus.

Very heartfelt story. It saddened me to read about Jake's optimistic February preface about testing clean for cancer as of December, only to know that he has since suffered further complications. Too bad the TMNT aren't really around to help a friend in need.
And, yeah, I could have done without those couple of panels on the Klunk Adventure story.

A pretty moving story, and moreso knowing about Jake's own struggle. I enjoyed it.
And yeah, the Klunk story was a pretty sweet bonus. And poo on anyone decrying the rat and cat buttholes in it.

For real! I think its funny & dare I say... cute *shutters*
Besides, its just a circle with an X, he could've been alot more graphic. I think he did the not so attractive body spot that we all have in a tasteful way so to speak haha!

Thought it was quite a cool issue. Very enjoyable, with some great moments. Mikey was ace in it. This part was definitely my favourite:

Awesome.
