Alopex, the first mutant of the Foot Clan, has quickly become one of Shredder's most useful agents. However, when she sets out to learn more about her past, she discovers a devastating truth that could have her questioning everything she knows about the Foot Clan!
This micro-series issue accomplishes exactly what it set out to do: prove Alopex is an interesting character and worthy of her own issue. Before reading this, I wasn't sold all that much on the mutant, but a tight script, strong plot developments and solid visuals have made me do a total 180. If you're digging the current TMNT stuff, you definitely need to pick this up. Based on this chapter, it seems clear she may play a bigger role as 'City Fall' continues. Read Full Review
The story went by quick. All of these villain one shot have but in this case I craved more. The last few lines we read from Alopex is crazy! She is in for a rough future. I hope the ending leads to a story in the TMNT comic. It can't leave me wondering like that. Alopex could certainly have some interesting stories between her and Shedder involving her own vendetta. In my opinion, this has been my favorite villain background yet. Next is Karai which I think will be just as interesting; women always are. Read Full Review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Villain Micro-Series #4: Alopex is yet another surprisingly engaging one and done story that offers depth to a previously two dimensional antagonist. Recommended. Read Full Review
Given we know so little about the character this issue should appeal to fans, and the dark turn it takes involving the arctic fox's former home hopefully foreshadows a crisis on conscience for the character that we could see played out over several months (if not years). Worth a look. Read Full Review
Again, like Old Hob, Alopex is an IDW original character. Its great to get some backstory into characters that we know very little about. Brian Lynch makes both Alopex and Shredder very compelling and Ross Campbells artwork is fantastic. This issue has quite a bit going for it, so TMNT fans following the IDW Turtles should be very pleased. Read Full Review
