Casey Jones has had a tough life. Mom dead from cancer when he was just a teen; father an abusive, drunken wreck; his best friends a bunch of mutant ninja turtles embroiled in a centuries-old clan war. Yeah, it's been a rough ride, and along the way, Casey's learned one important lesson: monsters come in all shapes and sizes. And they must all be stopped. Now, when the maniacal Rat King's latest gambit, the Armageddon Game, threatens those closest to his heart in their own home, Casey Jones dons his hockey mask and prepares for his most dangerous battle yet. But that's okay... He's not afraid of monsters.
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Armageddon Game The Alliance' #2 easily juggles a story that works as both an event tie-in as well as a deep character study for Casey Jones, weaving together years of stories and characters. At the same time, it's pretty new reader friendly in many senses as it puts the cards on the table, without having to spell out every single detail along the way. Read Full Review
The story has a sweet ending, but it's not worth the journey. Read Full Review
This issue left me conflicted. There were some good character moments for Casey here but they were so diluted by too much basic dense narration/dialogue with lots of surface level writing and cheesy parts. Overall balanced to have a slightly a positive impression but these Alliance issues really don't feel worth the price to read.
