I wasn’t sure if Allor and Kuhn would be able to follow up on a promising first issue. Oh me of little faith.
Continuing immediately on from last month, we find the Fugitoid in quite the quandary. Once again though he proves himself a true hero, putting the needs of others before before any semblance of vengeance. However he feels he knows he couldn’t live with himself by falling to the same genocidal depths as his enemies.
What follows is an interesting team up, and a very eye-opening flashback.
I wouldn’t go as far to say that Krang is becoming sympathetic. But his character is becoming so developed that I do understand his motivations. His Father’s actions and attitude are pushing an already depleted civilisation to breaking point and he has no intention of stopping. Seeing Krang call him out makes for a very strong scene that stuck with me beyond the last page.
The Utroms are given enough variation and character that they avoid looking like a bunch of silly brains. Perhaps they should have invested in more suits as they do get kicked around a lot.
The limitations of Krang’s body are exposed but his strength of character is displayed in full force.
The TMNT may be beginning to learn more about his ultimate weapon, but I don’t think they know what they’re letting themselves in for. Could Krang be more interesting that Shredder? Never thought I’d be wondering about that!
It’s not all Krang though, as the Fugitoid gets his own moment to shine this issue, and what a bad ass he is becoming! The worst kind of enemy is a slimy, underhanded one; and Baxter fully deserved a smack.
Looking forward to the third issue! Let’s see some more hardcore Fugitoid and Krang action!
