It goes without saying, you read this, you are going to get an eyeful of spoilers.
Ye have been warned!
I was very interested in what Leo is up to, and the tie-in at some level to the Toon Battle Nexus and portals. And I loved the green tea reference. But if Leo gets enough caffeine out of green tea, then he better never drink Mountain Dew! (That stuff makes me ill.)
Now we have to wait until the next issue to find out what's on the other side! aaargh!
I was glad to see Mikey get away from prison, one way or another, though he sure looks like...uh...shell. Yeah. He's down to skin and shell. But is he going to try to get off planet or go find the Lass that got him tossed in there in the first place?
And I still wonder, once those eggs hatch, will it really turn out to be Mike as the dad? Or was she dallying about with someone else unacceptable to her family's station, and used Mikey to be the scapegoat? Hmm.....
As for the other guys, now that they got the Vampire man? I'll be curious to see if Raph is going to get cured of the Dino-form at some point? Or is he going to stay that way for a while?
Between that and Micro-Don aka Real Action Figure, I'm torn about how I feel about this direction in the comic. Part of me is interested and amused, part of me is like get them back to Normal already! I do miss certain things that are no longer part of the comic that made me enjoy certain older Mirage issues.
And I can't help but feel that Shadow running from the "friend" was too a few many pages. Maybe that's just me but it was like I got the idea that she was using every trick in the book and couldn't stop the thing. I'd rather have had more story depth about the threat of this Jihad group.
I'm trying to avoid being too judgemental about the current direction of the TMNT comics. I'm trying to give it time so the fuller story arc can be presented, and I can go back and view it as a whole.
