The universe's greatest criminal organization has been made aware of a new planet to exploit: the primitive backwater known as Earth! Before the Pantheon can move in and start profiting, though, they must get the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles out of their way. Kidnapping and ensnaring the Turtles in a brainwashing simulation seems easy enough... until Mikey manages to break free. Now all he has to do is rescue his brothers from the Pantheon's influence, figure out where they've been taken, and find a way to send these career criminals packing... No biggie, right? This is the end of the arc, so be sure you don't miss the finale of the Pantheon'more
The eyepatch he wears reminds Old Hob to be cautious. So, he surrounds himself with capable people. Old Hob assesses, plans, and strategizes to achieve his goals. Alone among the pantheon, he wears a gun and isnt afraid to use it. To beat a guy like Old Hob, Leo must take a page from Face's playbook and employ distraction, diversion, and division. If Donatello can take a leaf out of the Doctors 1000-Year Diary, that might also help the Turtles escape Old Hobs pocket domain in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #16.

Another great issue. It's doubtful the Turtles have seen the last of the Pantheon. That's especially obvious for Hob, since he escaped to Earth too. The only downside is we didn't learn much about Scratch, who is a popular attraction for collectors of the original toy line.
By the way, they seemed to forget while designing cover B that Splinter is supposed to dislike Pizza. I remember when the animators occasionally forgot that on the old show and made him eat it anyway. LOL.
This series is true to the original series and definitely something I'd recommend to any '87 Turtles fan. We're approaching 20 issues and it only seems t get better. And I can't say that about many new comics anymore.
