(12.66 pages out of 38)


Last time the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, completed their life's goal and killed their sworn enemy the Shredder.

Now they stay mostly at home and watch TV.





The Turtles and Splinter worry that the Mousers might stumble across their underground lair.

Over the next few weeks, New York is struck by a serious of mysterious robberies.



Baxter has something to show April...







Baxter takes control of the labs security, dumps April into the sewers and sends his Mousers after her.









April faints and the Turtles take her back to their lair.



April and the mutants get acquainted, learning about each others situation.

A news report shows a ransom message, that threatens the entire city.





The next day....



The group sneaks into Stockman's lab.



Stockman is able to activate the labs self-destruct system, before he's knocked out. The entrances are locked, and all the Mousers are recalled home to tear the facility apart.




Look, it's the first time Donatello does machines. His entire character was born here.

Donatello and April try to deactivate the main computer controlling the Mousers, while the others try to hold the Mousers back.



Eventually they manage to shut down the bases power, but the Mousers will be the last system to shut down. Our hero's fall back to the main control room, to try and slow down the robot hoard.



The lights go out, and as they hear the Mouser hoard grind to a halt, they know their safe now.


The next issue will probably be ready way sooner...

1) That reminds me, does he ever become a fly in the Fox show? I remember a thing where he became less an less human thanks to cybernetics but I didn't watch the whole series so I don't know if they ever went full Goldbloom.

2) Yeah but toon April had the distinctive news jumpsuit... y'know, like all reporters wear.

3) At least Shredder was black.

No he didn't b ecome a fly in the 2003 series. Just a cyborg and eventually a brain in a jar and then cloned and cybernetics.

I guess they figured it wouldn't be realisitc for a guy whose an expert in robotics and engineering to also be an expert in genetic mutations.

Although later versions did have him become a fly. Personal favorite being TMNT vs. Batman.

Yeah, also fond of Baxter from the CGI series. He's just such a gross weirdo.

I hate the Baxter from the current IDW series but you're supposed to.

Feel like Bay movie Baxter is the weakest but maybe I'd change my mind if Tyler Perry turned into a Fly monster.

(Still amazed they didn't cast Goldbloom)

If you're going for realistic you're doing TMNT wrong ... but that Fox series had Krang and Shredder as the same person so I don't feel that was ever the goal.

[crinos]

Yeah, I mean the 2003 series had a full on super hero team, and it was pretty clear the Turtles were just a small part of a much larger world. But at the same time they cut back on the number of mutants running around where it was only the Turtles and Splinter and a few others, and most of their foes were other stuff.

I love Baxter in the early 2000's cartoon because no matter what happens and no matter how many body parts he loses as a result of it he just

NEVER STOPS BEING HIS WEIRD EVIL SELF

No matter how badly his plan backfires he just goes "Well, there's always next time" and tries again
