----Spoilers n' Sh*t----
----Read at own risk n' sh*t----

Just finishedreading it. Pretty good on whole. The supplementary Utrom story was alright, short but interesting. The REAL thrill of the issue, though, was the Shredder segment. Mutant Shredder looks pretty tight. This penciller is great, John Beatty, right? His style can get kinda goofy at times, but this is TMNT afterall. The conclusion is more of an homage to H.P. Lovecraft (my favorite auther) than the first part of the story. Including dimension-surfing and lots of crazy babble. The weird interdimensional space-monkey (Pai-Doth Noor) said that he'd met Leo, or that he hadn't met Leo but they would meet for the first time at another time (time-space rips, confusing as hell). So anyone who knows Mirage better then me: have they met in an earlier issue or is this a set-up for later?

Also I gotta say I liked the ending. We may see Shredder yet again, though more self-aware that he isn't the REAL Shredder, just an aquatic facimile.

Also a lot of cursing in this issue. A little over the top, IMO, but Splinter makes note of it.

All in all, I liked it quite a bit. Best issue of Tales so far.
