Last month’s issues focused on Casey and the citizens of New York. It made for an entertainingly different view of the battle that is now raging across the city. Issue 48 switches back to our main heroes as they protect themselves from the Baxter hoards. Smith creates some dynamic panels, and gives me/us an entire page of just my two favourite turtles, Leo and Mikey. It’s a touching moment amongst the chaos, and much appreciated.
If you know your TMNT you’ll love how Donatello and Kirby communicate and manage the protection of their mechanised turtle. Between Kirby and Honeycutt they’ve got quite the setup going on.
Elsewhere Nowhere and Alopex continue their best Batman and Robin impression, which is very fitting for them I feel. The inhabitants of New York aren’t completely forgotten, their contribution to the issue proving that a sprinkling of more normal people is always a good thing to have.
There’s only one more issue before the promised wrapping up of various threads in #50. It’s amazing that the series has been running for over four years now. I just hope that this milestone lives up to what we’ve been led to expect.
