Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #128 proves to be a somewhat claustrophobic issue as Donatello and Alopex remain "guest" at Jaspar Barlowe's body modification clinic. The rich artwork sells this mood well without making the visuals challenging to parse. Read Full Review
Man this was a fantastic issue to a great new arc. I was worried the series was starting to drag but really feel like it’s back to some new exciting ideas. I was also very skeptical of Tunica’s art in his first issue but feel he’s really found his groove dialing back the jarring facial expressions and does a great job playing with a horror tone. Can’t wait for the next issue!
Best issue in awhile!
