This is really good, which characters from Usagi dimension you would like to see?

All of them, Because if you look at the covers, The turtles are in his dimension this time.

Yes, I know, I have read plot on Nerdist site, it will be interesting to see this characters in TMNT 1987 continuity

I want the Sakai variant! That is so cool!

Gen appeared before in the cartoons, so I can't imagine he won't be there.

Stan has admitted it was a bit weird not only having his creation not being written and drawn by himself for the first time in a LONG time, but also doing the cover in the 87 cartoon style compared to normal. I am expecting that one to be the 1:10. If it's the 1:25 then mad scramble time.

Oh, I think Gen might be in this and if he is than this is first time he appeared in TMNT 1987 series continuity

Send him back to his home dimension as his second and last appearance title makes one assume he would. This proper closure is decades long closure!

What do you mean by his "second and last appearance title" I am not sure what do you mean by that? Just curious

Second and last episode he appeared in.

This,exactly.

His first episode was 'Usagi Yojimbo' and his second appearance was just two episodes later, 'Usagi Come Home'. One could assume that he would return to his home dimension at the end, but he remained on Earth under Obento's care until Donatello could relocate the dimension. It never happened. So his second appearance and deceiving title of an episode was his last appearance. This looks like it will return Usagi home.

So the comic will tie up some loose ends.

Why do I get the feeling that there will be a joke about the turtles being considered “naked” in Usagi’s dimension?

[TigerClaw]

One of the issues with the 87 series is how many episodes aren't fully connected, And you have characters you never see in future episodes, Maybe twice or three times, For example Casey Jones, Perhaps this series will bring in some of those characters for the continuity, In the case of Usagi, Its a nice way to show what he's been up to since his appearances on the show.

[ToTheNines]

This was incredible. It was a solid Usagi crossover in its own right, but I think this might be my pick for the SMA comic than felt the most like a real FW episode.

As much as I enjoy the current one-two punch of Schoening/Myers, this Jack Lawrence dude would be welcome back any time.

[Heyowakka]

Honestly, reading through the Usagi special makes me wish we’d get another one soon. We're certainly do for another special anytime now. Maybe after the Perils of the Pantheon 3-parter.

[Chaotix12345]

I just wish they'd reprint it somewhere. The trades skipped it and I keep hoping that it'll pop up in the next one to no avail.

[Heyowakka]

The trades skipped it? That’s lame. Where do you personally place it? I think it works better after Enter the Pantheon, since that story better continues directly after the Ogg-lympics.

The only continuity note is Shredder is still trapped in dimensional limbo, so they still have a little time before it’s a problem. I see they’re skipping it in the upcoming vol. 6 trade, but it could still be on 7.

I know they collected the April special. Did they do the Halloween special?
