“Professor Honeycutt was instrumental in developing General Krang’s technology. But when he realized just how insanely tyrannical his boss was, he decided to defect. One doesn’t betray Krang without consequences, though, and Honeycutt’s only chance for survival was to transport his mind into a fugitive robot body! The resulting adventure leads the new ‘Fugitoid’ to Earth, and stands to affect the Turtles’ future in an unexpected and crucial way!”

Over at the IDW comic con panel, IDW’s Bobby Curnow announced that Kevin Eastman is working on 48 pages TMNT annual, set in the IDW continuity (Cover above). Bobby describes the annual as “FULL story by Kevin Eastman, with Tom on script (as opposed to co-story by Eastman/Waltz). Kevin on full art duties. It’s a 48 page stand-alone story set in the IDW universe. It’s basically a caper gone awry, with various criminal factions in NYC vying for power, with the Turtles caught in the middle ” (Source: Technodrome forums).
MTV got the chance to talk to Kevin Eastman about the upcoming annual.
From the interview:
”
Geek: What’s your take on where Raphael is emotionally when this story starts?
KE: With this one, Tom and I wanted to keep it a bit more “less intense emotionally” if you will–yes the arc’s are strong and meaningful, but most of the beats relate to the what is going on at that moment in the story as opposed to the heavier over all structure–not that this is outside of that, but the pace was intended to be faster, reactionary to the layers we peel away then and there rather than the deeper stuff.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 continues the Captive Splinter and return of The shredder Arc. The comic book opens where with Splinter fighting member of the foot clan, one after the other, no one was much for the rodent master, not even the mutant Alopex or the Ninja Karai.
Back to the turtles new hideout (April’s 2nd time around antique shop) a mysterious figure is eavesdropping on 3 of the brothers. Before we could recognize who this mystery girl is, Michelangelo (who went to get some pizza) attacks the lady, who seems to have brought friends. the other Turtles join the fight, but were quickly stopped by Casey Jones, who recognizes these mysterious people as the Purple Dragons, and the girl is Angel, a Casey jones friend.

Picking up in the middle of the Splinter/Foot clan fight from Issue #10 of the ongoing series, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro series Splinter, focuses on the Rat master, as he remembers his previous life as the Ninja Hamato Yoshi.
Written by Erik Burnham, the issue sheds more light on Hamato Yoshi, and how he was always angry before he gets to meet the beautiful Tang Shen. The story also shows a bit of rivalry between Oroku Saki and Yoshi, but fails to sell it as cause of hatred between the two, which was my only complain for this issue. Without spoiling the story, the issue does give more depth to Splinter and confirms the reincarnation aspect of the series.

Coming out tomorrow, is the tenth issue of the IDW ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The issue is written by veteran Tom Waltz and drawn by Dan Duncan and colored by Ronda Pattison. So is this issue a worthy addition to this great comic series? Keep reading to find out!
Last issue ended with a cliffhanger and a reveal of a major character, in the form of Karai. This week the mood grows tense, as Master Splinter is given a choice by the murderous foot clan. A Test of Life and death.
The foot Clan, as Karai reveals, is fighting a war with an enemy who using the mutagen to create powerful warriors. In order to stand to this enemy, we are logically presuming Krang, the foot clan are recruiting (and maybe even making) mutants, this is why Splinter is brought before Shredder.
Meanwhile the turtles are being given sanctuary at April’s 2nd time around antique shop. In order to rest, then to locate and retrieve their beloved father.
Without spoiling too much the issue ends with the Shredder revealing his identity to Splinter. A shocking moment that will probably raise more questions than answers. The end of the issue also shows a mysterious figure who will leave fans guessing his/her identity.

Coming out tomorrow, the first IDW color reprint of the classic Mirage TMNT comics will offer a new colorful look at the black and white comics of the 80’s.
There is no need to go into the story since we all know it by heart and at least read it 10 times. The main highlight of the book is the introduction of colors. So how does it look?
For an old Turtles fan since the 80’s i’m surprised to say that i really like the colored version of the book. While of course there is no way we can compare it to the black and white classic, just for the reason of it being classic, i think the colors are beautifully done and breath new life into a fan favorite comic. The dark mood and edginess is still present. And if you are afraid that the turtles will now have colored bandannas, then fear not, they all retain their classic red ones (even though i am a fan of the colored bandannas).

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #9 picks up right of last week’s Leonardo Micro-series. Leo is back to the sewers where the turtles are meeting April Onei’l who agrees, along with Casey Jones, to help the brothers find their abducted master. In the mean time Splinter is been displayed on a lab table and waiting to be dissected by Baxter Stockman to extract the mutagen for his ruthless employer, the general Krang, who are on their way to the stockgens lab. Before neither the turtles no Baxter and Krang reach the room where Splinter is held, something very unexpected and quite surprising changes the course of the story. For the sake of not spoiling this great surprise, i will stop her and let you enjoy it when you get the issue tomorrow.
