Kuhn's getting worse by the issue, but both story lines have my full attention. I'll be speeding to the comic shop after work Wednesday for sure.

I like what I see so far.It surprises me Krang is willinjg to reveal his origin to Baxter Stockman along with his mission.It makes me wonder though if it will end,"If I tell you I will kill you!"? Who knew an evil being like Krang had a family!

I'm not the best judge of US comic art as I barely ever read them, but looking at these pages, I can agree. This is the first time I've seen the new artist's work, and I can't say I'm a fan of it, gah. It doesn't seem to mesh well with the previous artist's art style at all, and some of those facial expressions...good lord.

That said, continuing to read the story tidbits is fun, I'm still liking where that department of IDW is taking this.

Looking forward to the whole thing! I disagree on Kuhn, I like his blocky work and dramatic blacks. Raph looks odd on the "You..You have?" panel, but I like the rest. I really like the watercolor texturing on the Krang flashback.

Kuhns art reminds me of old Hell boy comics. For that reason I love it. Has a nostalgic feeling to it. And krang is lying about his origin at least part of it.

Issue looks good! The pages showing the origin look particularly good.

P.S. Please hire Ross Campbell as the full-time artist for TMNT :p pay him whatever it takes!

I agree very much on this!..I know you cant argue about taste...but it still makes me feel so bad if I read complains of that type about this art work...I love his take on it...maybe because he makes the turtles look different...somehow monstrous so that they even subconsciously feel to be strangers in this world...
I can only say I REALLY LIKE his work.
peace

I don't know. It seems cool, but just another issue. I guess we'll see on Wednesday. I'm getting a little tired of the Splinter lectures, because he is (on each occasion) saying the same thing in different ways. We get his point of view, we fully got it in his Micro. I don't know, it almost seems like a waste of space.

Spoiler:
And concerning Splinter, we know he's not going to do it. Utrominon? Really?

Utrominon? Really? I don't want to be mean but that is almost as bad as unobtainium.

I guess it is better that just calling it The Utrom Homeworld, but it just feels lazy. Sorry guys, I want to love it.

worse...no. same, yes. i agree it does have a bit of that hellboy feeling...hellturtle i admit that i do enjoy kuhn's art. i enjoy some other artist's tmnt renditions better, but i like it none the less. it's different than any other tmnt art out there. smooth crisp lines, heavy over indulgent blacks, blocky renderings, overly symmetrical renderings...i find it all appealing for different reasons.

the story sounds appealing.

The same old story about the once greatest warriors of the universe, their blown-up planet and the son of their leader who somehow survived with few other companions. IDW, I'm.. unimpressed. Utrominon

We've traded Michael Bay in for Joel Schumacher!!!

Actually, I think those are just unfortunately placed screws... You twist those babies and Krang's body will just be unable to put up a fight to whatever's coming!

...There must have been a better way to say that.

Honestly only Raph looks hideous, everyone else looks fine.

As for Krang my worst fears have come true. He is basically Ch'rell in this universe.

Krang and Ch'rell are two different characters. This makes them too similar.

One is an evil alien disembodied brain from Dimension X who was exiled to Earth. The other is an evil alien Utrom brain who was exiled from his home world and then took over the mantle of Shredder.

Now look at them...they had completely different back stories.
