This issue is both a milestone and an end of an era for IDW.

This wraps up the whole first year story arc of this new continuity and represents Dan Duncan's final issue. At least IDW successfully wrapped up year one with a bang.

I can't wait for Year Two.

Of course I had to take a look, couldn't help my self. It was fantastic. I can't wait to have to full issue in hand and see how everything breaks down. Tomorrow is a doulbe treat with this and the Casey book.

Tom thank you for these awesome previews and issues.

I don't want to spoil myself, but I took a peak! Can't wait to read it

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-24-2012, 10:34 AM

My question is will we get how Shredder is still around in this issue or are we going to have to wait tell the mini-series?

Lampy · 07-24-2012, 10:35 AM

looked through all the pages... not the dialogue. That last page is just epic... "its about to go down!" Man am I super excited for this issue. Not to mention the Casey issue is released the same day. Its going to be one shell of a fight no doubt. The fight we've all been waiting for.

AHH! This is the last Duncan issue! I will have to wait until tomorrow to even take a peek.

I'm guessing there would be no need for the mini series if they spilled the beans here. Maybe we'll get a hint though!

*Cowabunga Carl* · 07-24-2012, 11:02 AM

Yeah, that is more of what I meant. Will we see some kind of illumination, a hint if you will, about what is going on? I mean it is a pretty big deal and to leave us in the shadows tell later in the year just seems cruel.

Genesis · 07-24-2012, 11:04 AM

Now, that's how you do a rescue.

Yup... wait til the last possible second to stop an execution when all hope is lost, use a baddie for a test dummy, throw in some kind of witty line and drop in Batman style to the rescue. Badass indeed, Turtles.

DarkLightDragon · 07-24-2012, 11:24 AM

^Indeed. The Turtles certainly exel at making dramatic rescues.

It almost reminds me way back in #4 when they came to rescue Raph when Hob came close to killing him.

I think I vaguely recall Bobby or Tom mentioning that they will be exploring Shredder's survival a little bit in the next few issues, but I don't know if that was changed because of the mini series. I'm sure, at the least, the turtles will be thinking about it!

Im gonna miss Dan Duncans art

. And this issues gonna be great! cant wait to get this and the casey issue!

*Raven* · 07-24-2012, 04:55 PM

Has it really been a year already since issue 1 came out? Wow, the time surely did fly by didn't it? Tom and the guys have really kept us talking about this series, and this looks just as good as the rest!

~~AquaParade~~ · 07-24-2012, 07:51 PM

You guys really think Duncan has been improving over the past year? I loved his earlier stuff, but the last few issues have reeked, in my opinion. I miss background's and turtles/humans that don't look oddly shaped.

I like his art in this issue very well and the last few. Either way its not really worth complaining about anymore given this is his final issue forever.

Well you are definitely not alone. I guess I am of the minority here. I do adore some of his earlier stuff though. I get the impression he was trying harder. The splash page in issue 1 along with the first few covers, were great! They had grit, weight, and style.

I for one am glad to see him go at this point. Excited to see what Khun can really do.

I like the homage cover

Yeah, his Turtle heads look really "squeezed" and lumpy, all of a sudden.

He just needs to lay off on the excessively toothy expressions, and I think he'll do great.
