Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Pizza Face

In one of the most bizarre episodes of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon yet, Michelangelo (Greg Cipes) becomes suspicious of Antonio’s Pizza-Rama whose latest pizza pies are living creatures who turn those who eat them – like April (Mae Whitman), Leonardo (Jason Biggs), Donatello (Rob Paulsen), Raphael (Sean Astin), and Splinter (Hoon Lee) – into zombies.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Mazes & Mutants

And then there was that time the Turtles went LARPing. Fascinated with roleplaying game they discovered in the trash, the Turtles decide to dress up as their characters and continue their roleplaying adventure in the sewers. After being exposed to a mysterious mist Leonardo (Jason Biggs), Raphael (Sean Astin), Donatello (Rob Paulsen), and Michelangelo (Greg Cipes) find themselves trapped in a very real dungeon filled with traps, monkey goblins, a dragon, and Sir Malachi “the sparrow wizard” (Paul Reubens) who has captured “princess” April (Mae Whitman) and taken over the Leonardo’s adventure to create a new quest for the Turtles.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #10

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #10When Spider Bytez starts kidnapping people from the surface and dragging them down into his lair the Turtles hop into action, but are soon caught like flies in his web. Thankfully Michelangelo‘s plan to cover himself in pizza, based on his presumption that the disappearances are he result of the Kraang working with ghosts and Big Foot, proves to be the key to getting the Turtles out of another sticky situation.

Mikey slips out of the webs and distracts the villain, allowing Donatello, Raphael, and Leonardo time to escape and free the hostages before taking Mikey’s lead and further infuriating Spider Bytez with a few insults of their own.

The goofy adventure (set bizarrely around Valentine’s Day for a late April comic) is fun while highlighting another of the Turtles’ weirder villains. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #10 also includes a Mikey back-up story where the Turtle’s one-track mind races his brothers into a desperate situation (which turns out to be pizza). Worth a look.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #33

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #33The Turtles exile ends as Leonardo, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello return to New York. Still hiding in the shadows the brothers work to hone their skills at get the new lay of the land now that the Shredder and The Foot control the city.

Much of the rest of the comic deals with April and Casey readjusting to life back in the city. As April worries about what path Casey’s life will take, Casey searches out Hun, who has just learned Shredder was responsible for his son’s injuries, for a long overdue conversation.

Although the Turtles family appears to finally be healed, Casey’s is anything but as any enemy of the Shredder is an enemy of Hun. Unable to convince his son to leave the city, it’s likely that the next time the pair meet it will be as enemies.

I’m glad to see the Turtles back in NYC, but would have preferred they brougth Alopex with them. Mateus Santolouco returns to do the art for this issue providing some cool Hun/Shredder and Hun/Casey panels. Worth a look.
