verrrry decompressed storytelling.
very dragged out story-lines.
....and Bickering Mutant Ninja Turtles, in the midst of it all.
the sad thing is there is a full-on battle going on, as Agent Bishop is attacking the Utroms and Triceratons, but we barely get to see any real action. most of the time we see the Turtles they are having a hard time getting rounded up. and when the Turtles actually are all together they mostly just bicker with one another.
this felt like only half of a comic issue's worth of story, spread across a full issue.
-the cameo of Irma from the 1987 cartoon series was distracting. it took me out of the story.
-the build up to the Mutanimals intro was unnecessary. i saw it coming a mile away. we don't need build-ups and plot recaps. we need plot advancement!
-a character that was introduced WAYYYYY back in issue #56 is finally going to get used!! 30 issues later?? talk about a plot that really drags it's feet. that's almost 3 years that's gone by. can't say it's had the impact that i would have liked it to.
i've heard of writers that write for the trade,
but i think Tom Waltz is writing for the OMNIBUS!!!! more
