- Title: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: WhereWhen #2
- Comic Vine: link
- Writer: Stan Sakai
- Artist: Stan Sakai
The second issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: WhereWhen picks up immediately from where the first issue ended in the classic hero misunderstanding with the friends mistakenly taking the newly arrived Turtles for the Kappa who have been terrorizing the area. This provides the only real action of the issue which ends with the arrival of Miyamoto Usagi, introducing Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael to his friends.
Usagi’s sudden appearance does make me wonder who ended up in the future, or if that perhaps was foreshadowing to a future event on our characters timeline. Along with introducing the Turtles around, the rest of the issue deals with showing us the vast army he has been able to produce since transporting himself to the past, an army which he now plans to use to attack the Turtles and the friends, along with his alliance with the Mogura Ninja, likely derailing yet another attempt by Lord Noriyuki to defeat Lord Hikiju.
