    Before we finish for this month"Is 'What is Ninja?' the best backup in any TMNT story? It might be you know. I feel like I picked up what was going on a lot better this week. It's really poignant too. A well crafted piece that is coming together nicely. Read Full Review

    Still, that ending was pretty darn good. I really hope one of the two Turtles books picks up the plot thread"and if it's this one, I hope it's the same creative team so they can have another shot at knocking it out of the park. Read Full Review

    A tragic direction for Metalhead to take, but I can identify with him at the same time. Emotions can be difficult enough to deal with as an average person, but when they are digitized, who knows what the experience would be? I like the original design for Metalhead, so I hope this isn't the last we see of it. The personality of each brother in the Hamato family shines through here, they each have their own opinion of the situation and watching them work things out as they go feels true to life. The only problem that I have with the art is that the facial expressions get a little wonky in certain panels.

    overall 'Metalhead 2.0' has been a very satisfying story arc.
    last month's entry set up a lot of story we could have and action-packed conclusion.
    it's hard to say a lot about this story without giving away spoilers. and i really don't want to ruin anyone's shock and surprise of this issue.
    so i'll just leave it at, if you enjoyed last month's Tmnt:Universe then you'll LOVE the stories conclusion!!!
    very heavy stuff! . . . and not just the Robot!

    a minor detail i'd like to point out is how real the Turtle brothers felt in their interactions with one another.
    they really felt like a family.
    it's good to see their relations with one another, and the strong bond of family handled well.
    seeing them more
