Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: WhereWhen comes to a close with the final battle against Dr. WhereWhen and his mechanical forces both within the castle where the Turtles and Usagi‘s friends have been able to reach as well as out on the battle field. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: WhereWhen #5 offers an action-packed conclusion to the series with one big surprise in the death of a recurring Usagi Yojimbo character. The death of Yukichi, who has been a large role is recent Usagi storylines, is unexpected, but he’s given a heroic death here to save his friends.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been rebooted so many times over the years it’s hard to keep track of the number of times they’ve changed since they first appeared on comic shelves in the mid-1980s. The latest iteration of the group found in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem is neither the best nor worst version we’ve seen. Presenting a grungier animation, likely in hopes of pulling in comparisons to the Spider-Verse movies (it is not on that level), the script takes various aspects of the Turtles origins, altering and updating them slightly for a familiar and fresh feel for the foursome.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles vs. Street Fighter #1

At no point in the first issue of the new five-issue crossover mini-series is any attempt made to explain the reason for the worlds of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Street Fighter colliding, instead the two are simply thrown together and the reader is asked to roll with it (which, given the ridiculousness of the concept and everything on display here is a valid choice).

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 LeonardoDonatelloMichelangelo, and Raphael to his friends.
