Whether the speed-through was worth it or not depends on the quality of the story they end up telling. In a perfect world, we could have spent the entire first arc of the book on the content in this issue. Then the emotional stakes raise when we start to see our main character, Caspar, interact with his parents. Especially what basically amounts to a ninja school for youngsters. But there’s some interesting stuff in here. This second issue is basically a big exposition dump. But it’s memorable.ĪRTISTS: Daniele Di Nicuolo, Walter Baiamonte & Katia Ranalli (Colorists), Ed Dukeshire (Letterer) But for now I dig it.Ĭool use of sign language in this issue. It may get to be grating as the issues go on. Cafu and D’Armata give us an amazing page of him “suiting up.”Ĭantwell’s dialogue, particularly between Iron Man and Hellcat, is pretty funny.

Still, I’m liking the whole “Juggernaut teams with a YouTuber” premise. ![]() That’s what’s drawing readers in, yes? So at least a portion of your readership is going to come away disappointed… My only complaint is we don’t really get to see the body of the fight between Juggernaut and Hulk.

The latter is the more intriguing of the two, as the angle with the kids has never been done in a TMNT story.
