    A thrilling and fun story wrapped in beautiful artwork and some of the best dialogue we've ever had between everyone's favorite mutant (kind of) couple. Read Full Review

    TMNT Universe #19 was a fun start to a new two-partstoryline that will introduce some new mutants into IDW's TMNT Universe. Ian Flynn has a great clasp on these characters and weaves an exciting story, while Dave Wachter and Ronda Pattison deliver some wonderful art. The backup story will definitely catch your attention for its overall creepiness that will continue in TMNT #81 after the “Invasions of Triceratons” storyline! Read Full Review

    the main story in this issue was definitely a vast improvement over Tmnt: Universe issues #16, #17 & #18, but i can't say it was some awesome story that i'd highly recommend. it was only ok.
    i do like the antagonist in this story Zodi the scorpion mutant, but i wasn't very impressed with the new (spoiler withheld) introduced.

    i really loved the art of the back-up story. i just don't know what the point of it was.
    the Rat King was introduced into the IDW Tmnt issue #36 way back in mid 2014.
    what has he really done so far or amounted to?
    it's a sad waste of a good character because the writers are too busy trying to cram in as many nostalgia characters and Easter eggs from past Tmnt lore as they possibly can. more
