"Put the kid down."
So sometimes stories will tell the tale of an abused kid and the hardships they have endured, and how that has messed them up.
Not Casey Jones.
Sure, he gets beat up by his father, but his reaction is different. His reaction is to grab a hockey mask and tell Raphael that they need to go take head out, grab some grub, and then have some fun on the way. I hope they don't twist his character around and make him bad, because he is better at just being bad ass.
We flash to the past and find out more about the origin of the turtles. Seems that the lab April is working at is rather sketchy, as some ninjas come to take the turtles, still tiny, with them. Splinter, still a tiny rat, is smart enough to fight the ninjas, but ends up falling into an alley with the turtles and a big pile of ooze. Sounds like they escaped, but then a cat appears with one of the turtles in his mouth, dripping with ooze. Could this be the cat guy they were fighting at the beginning of last issue? Me thinks yes.
Flash back to Casey and Raph talking it out. Seems that Raph has some sort of amnesia and can't remember who he is. Interesting. They then decide to go ahead and head out for some food, and that's when Casey Jones' hockey mask makes it's first appearance.
Man I love this book!
