    Ultimately then, while its perhaps not necessarily essential reading in order to keep up to date with the ongoing story, this is still an absolute masterclass in character development, and features some truly jaw-dropping artwork. Its been far too long since Eastman, Waltz and Curnow shone a light on this particular relationship, and Im certain that fans of either character or of great storytelling in general, to be honest will absolutely love this issue.

    I've made it sound like the writing is of less importance this month. It really isn't.It's always really cool to see these characters punching flipping their way out of trouble. But it can be even cooler to see them display real emotion. Moments when art and dialogue comes together to make truly understand how they feel is special and #66 manages it in spades.

    TMNT Ongoing #66 is another great entry into this ongoing series. We get a great look into Alopex's character and what she has gone through being mind controlled by Kitsune. The art team of Campbell and Pattison is always a delight to have on this series and really makes these more "intimate" stories hit home. Alopex comes into focus and must literally learn to face her demons and figure out that just because she is a "loner" that certainly does not mean she is alone. The past few issues of this series have been great and I am definitely excited to see all of these characters continue to grow. Read Full Review

    Combine that with Campbell's masterful artwork (along with Alopex's return), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #66 is a great read"although you may want to brush up on some Alopex back issues first before you dive in. Read Full Review

    This series has a bad habit of being heavy on dialogue...like the moments of Raphael expressing why he loves Alopex would have been ok if they didn't drag on with so much wording. Love the art here tho even if it felt inconsistent at times. I good issue that stands alone well. Alopexs mind battle was a trip!

    I'm psyched to bring Alopex back into the picture, she has become one of my favourite characters.Raph made a joke about being cold blooded, which got me thinking: are the turtles actually cold blooded? Technically, wearing winter gear wouldn't do anything for an ectothermic creature, your body needs to actually generate heat to insulate. Maybe the Turtles mutated to become endothermic. The inspirational speech was refreshingly blunt and in-character for Raphael, "You kick serious ass," that's all he needs to say, he and Alopex understand each other, they don't communicate well but they stand by their principles.

    Good art. Good action. Too much mushy.
