Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #13

/ / Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #13The latest issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures offers a pair of strong stories highlighting individual characters while also including the final chapter of the origins of the LEGO Turtles who face and defeat the Shredder.

In the opening story April puts both her smarts and ninja training to work when attending a school field trip at the zoo where she discovers the Kraang have plans to mutate all the animals into their new mutant army. Alerting the Turtles, but unable to wait for their arrival, April proves capable of dealing with the situation on her own earning the praise of the team.

The other story included features an injured Raphael ignoring Splinter‘s repeated orders to rest his shoulder. It takes Raph getting buried alive while taking on some leftover Mousers for the Turtle to finally learn his lesson. Worth a look.

[IDW, $3.99]
