I liked how Metalhead still felt hungry and tired, very cool idea that alludes to real life conditions, as you mentioned. It makes a lot of sense and gave me instant empathy for his character.
"Metalhead 2.0" Part 1! Donatello reboots a new and improved Metalhead only to find that the robot no longer functions entirely as designed... for better and worse!
This is definitely an issue for any and all TMNT fans, so get out to your local comic shop and give it a read! Read Full Review
I'm really happy with IDW TMNT at the moment. Read Full Review
Also, the last few pages of the issue are much better than the rest of it. In addition to a series of beautiful drawn action sequences, the narrative finally releases itself from the shackles of disguising a mystery in plain sight, delivering a knockout punch of an ending. Let's hope the next issue picks up with the momentum this one ended with. Read Full Review
There's an interesting idea here, but the story is stretched out to the point of pointless filler and longwinded conversations. This could have been a solid issue, but it ended up being dull. Read Full Review
I've been eagerly awaiting the second coming of Metalhead, I knew that Donnie's time in that robot body would have some sort of ramifications down the line, I'm pleased to see that this is where the book decided to go because it introduces some very interesting concepts to digest. I was skeptical at first that TMNT needed this extra book to come out each month, but it is becoming increasingly evident that their world is expanding too much to be contained in just one book and the occasional micro-series. The artwork isn't quite on the level of the main book's, but it tells the story effectively. I'm pleased to see that the backup story turned out to be a little prequel to this issue, all the insights into Ninjutsu are great as well.
Decent comic.
one of the first things that jumped out at me about this comic was how beautiful Adam Gorman's art.
it has a great cinematic feel, and his figures really look alive. he is great at just capturing expression and emotion so well.
never would i imagined a story such as this!!
Donatello restoring the Metal-Head body his soul was encased in after nearly dying from Rocksteady and Bebop's attack in IDW Tmnt #44.
this story raises a lot of questions about what is a soul? and how do our memories define us?
it also touches on powerful subjects like 'Phantom Pains' and 'Post Traumatic Stress Disorder'.
this is ONE seriously heavy comic!!!!
not only would i HIGHLY re more
