Ever since Usagi moved to IDW, here’s the crossover fans have been waiting for. Although the first issue of the new five-issue crossover mini-series doesn’t offer much in the way of interactions between characters of the two brands, it does set up an interesting situation with multiple time-displaced characters. With Lord Noriyuki leading an army against Lord Hikiju, Miyamoto Usagi‘s heartstrings are pulled by villagers in need of aid. And so Usagi, Tomoe, Jotaro, and Yukichi go in search of an evil Kappa.

While not nearly as fun as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures, the first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #1 follows the same basic formula while attempting to recreate the enjoyment of a classic cartoon in comic form. Offering a single tale, the first issue of the four-issue mini-series gives us the misadventures of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael who become trapped in a VR training program.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124

/ / Comics

Christmas comes for the Turtles in the form of a silent issue without narration or dialogue. Playing on recent events, we see various members of the Splinter Clan searching in vain for the missing weasels . The first Christmas without Splinter is also felt by the brothers who still don’t know about the new face hiding in the shadows as Oroku Saki finds Old Hob and the weasels, and lets the Turtles know through and anonymous message that they are safe finally allowing for a low-key Christmas.

Without the need for dialogue, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #124 hits on several of the themes of the current arc offering a melancholy Christmas for all concerned, but one at least where the Turtles know the weasels are safe. Saki continues to help where he can as we wait for the former nemesis to eventually reveal himself.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #123

/ / Comics

With all of his brothers carving out new lives and relationships for themselves, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #123 offers readers a Leonardo story as the Splinter Clan‘s leader feels a bit lost, runs into an old friend, and has a night that changes his outlook on things. Leo’s always been my favorite of the Turtles, so I’m happy to see him highlighted here. The unexpected night out with Casey Jones, also feeling a bit left out with Raphael busy elsewhere, turns out to provide a fun single issue with a look into Leo’s mind.

We get a trip to a fight club, an introduction of a character teased earlier, Casey and Leonardo dealing with some street trash, and Leo thinking through finding new connections outside of his family. Not complete without a tie-in to the ongoing story, we also see the return of Old Hob luring away the weasels. What new trouble is he up to?
