[Review] TMNT #22 - "City Fall" part 1

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #22

Why in the seven hells can’t this series be bi-weekly? It’s too much torture having to wait a month between issues, this series is just that good. I am so happy with this series, it is my absolute favorite version on the TMNT. I thought the Mirage universe could never be topped, never have I been so wrong. 

[Review] TMNT Villains micro-series #2 - Baxter Stockman

Baxter Stockman has never been a truly engaging character to me. In the 2003 Fox animated series, he actually seemed to have a purpose for the first time, which was to supply Shredder and the Foot Clan with weapons based technology. I liked that he was portrayed as an abused tormented evil genius, essentially a prisoner. When I say abused, I mean it. Every time one of his plans or pieces of equipment didn’t quite bring the results Shredder wanted, he lost an appendage until he was reduced to nothing more than a brain in a jar. Ouch. The IDW series seems to adopt this position, but for a new master.

I have been a Godzilla fan ever since my father introduced me to the character when I was five years old. My love for the character has only grown over the years. I have watched nearly all the movies, but my favorite design of "big g" is the Millennium Series. The Millennium Series is the design James Stokoe has chosen to use for this series and he really captures it well.

The turtles are back home from their space war with Krang, but they aren’t going to be relaxing anytime soon.
