Story:

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.

ps: Beware, the following review contain some spoilers!

Story:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #8 picks up right where the last issue ended. With the Turtles home being attacked by the infamous mousers robots whom are controlled by the sneaky mutant cat Old hob. The fight rages on, as the turtles are outnumbured by the wall munching robots. Hob’s intentions are clear, as Baxter stockman explained to an impatient general krang: Retrieving splinter to their labs in order to extract the mutagen, in its pure form, from his body. Baxter also explained the reason why he didn’t just extract the mutagen from Old Hob. The mutagen in his blood has been tainted by being exposed to the ground in the alley where the old cat first came in contact with the ooze.

Unhappy with Stockman’s slow progress, General Krang (who seems to be losing a battle with what appears to be a more serious and adult version of the neutrinos from the 4th episode of the original ninja turtles cartoon series) made it clear that failure will mean death for Baxter.  Read more...
