Preview
The Comic
OK, we are going to reincarnation route. Pretty much confirmed with the reveal of Shredder's identity.
All in all it isn't too bad of an issue. It feels, more or less, like it is warming up for the next one. Moving the proper players into position, giving the Turtles a new hideout in a place that is familiar to anyone who has seen the old movies.
The main thrust of this issue was to show Splinter's skills with a sword. It was effective, and I am more or less looking forward to the next issue.
The Art
Looking over the design for Shredder's new look, I am impressed with the cover of the comic more than the half cape thing going on within the pages. The half cape reminds me of Akira and Tetsuo's cape. The look is effective if you have something to show off with the one shoulder, but if both sides of the costume underneath the cape look the same, then I don't know why you would want to give it the half on there look.
The Cover
Nice cover. If you are a Turtles fan then you know instantly who this is. If you are not a turtles fan, you may wonder who this 90s, two clawed Wolverine look-a-like is. Since this is for a specific audience at this point for issue 10, or attempting to get readers who are familiar with the story, then this is an OK cover.
Grades
Words: 8/10
Pictures: 8/10
Recommend: We pretty much end the issue the way we found it. I would recommend skipping this one unless you are a fan of Splinter, then this may be enjoyable.
Buy Next Issue: I'm there!
