Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #4

/ / Comics

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures #4Lured into a trap by the Foot Clan, Raphael is hit with a dart containing a rare hallucinatory and deadly poison. With their brother slowly slipping away, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello take a page from his book and go on the offensive against greater odds to get him the cure.

To get the cure the three Turtles will have to battle the Foot Clan as well as Dogpound who likes his odds now that there are only three Turtles left to deal with. Despite the odds, the threesome is to get the cure and reunite the entire team.

Writer Erik Burnham steps in with this issue and the comic doesn’t miss a beat as it continues to have the same feel, pace, and humor of the latest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon. Aside from the action, the issue also teaches lessons to both Raphael (to not be so quick to run head-first into action) and his brothers (who need to adopt Raphael’s reckless style to save him). Worth a look.

[IDW, $3.99]
