40 issues! IDW fully deserve reaching another milestone. No doubt the enduring popularity of the TMNT has helped, but there’s more to this than simple nostalgia. Amazing visuals and great storytelling have kept this title on the stands.
There are a lot of characters involved in this issue and it’s testament to the team that it doesn’t feel crowded or unnecessary. This incarnation of Bebop and Rocksteady are a real threat and that is conveyed perfectly in the first three pages, which fit in more action than some comics can in 30. Santolouco (that man again) really does lay it all out.
It’s not 100% gun-ho though. We also get to see more of the relationship between Casey Jones and April’s Father. With Splinter’s relationship with his son’s explored well, as well Casey and Hun’s we can be safe in the knowledge that this will be handled with care. This series is always lining up future story lines whilst not skimping on the current.
With a juicy final page to keep us on our toes until next month, #40 is a blast to read. I’ll definitely be coming back to it throughout the month.
Also there is a cool interview with Mateus in the final few pages! Make sure to check it out.
