TMNT Urban Legends #3 is another terrific issue. Carlson continues to keep the pace, building on previous issues, while also growing the storyline. Fosco's art continues to impress, setting the perfect tone for each panel. Read Full Review

this was probably one of the best issues in the series so far.
the Turtles are where we left them from last issue still under attack at the hands of Pimiko and her kunoichi. Leonardo is still having an out of body experience as he astral projects his spirit in search of Master Splinter and Donatello.
there is a really powerful moment when Leo's spirit finds Donatello in a darkened ally.
at first they are able to see and here one another, but then Donnie comes to and figures that he must've only imagined seeing Leonardo in some sort of fever dream as he lay dying.
Raph shows his brashness and impulsiveness in battle, leaving Michelangelo to fend for himself as well as defend Leonardo who is still entranced.

Master Splinter is still captive of Lord Komodo. Splinter has to prove himself by defending against two armed Samurai guards. Splinter gets to show how much of a badass he is.

there is a recap of the TMNT origin as told in Mirage Tmnt #1 (1984)
the Turtles also make reference to Zog the Triceraton.

the ending cliffhanger is INSANE!!!
having the good fortune of reading the origin run of this series, i am lucky enough to know how this all pans out. but it is a very gnarly set-up for the next issue non the less. more
