#Ken Mitchroney

[lifethenecropolis]

It's pages like this that seriously make me wonder why I'm not rich yet. I mean this is great stuff. I studied Ken Mitchroney's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures for the action and sound effect from panel 3. I think it's funnier to pronounce it as 'F-WANG' though.

Review: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration has something for everyone

Reviewing the everything you could hope for TMNT 40th Anniversary Celebration!

The name of this website and my general online presence was not consciously a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but my love of the TMNT is well documented both on here and in every aspect of my public and private life. I’ve ragged on cash-in anniversary celebration issues in the past. They can often feel manufactured or arbitrary. But Ninja Turtles turning 40 feels like a genuine…

Come and enjoy stories that will remind you of the 40 years of turtle history.

SCORE: 10 *

* Assuming you are familiar with these iterations.

This is a strange read, and curiously, there are three or four highlights for me, and they are not exactly the ones you would imagine.

Spoilers after the break...

The first story by Kevin Eastman is in the Mirage section of the book but... well... I'll leave at that... I wouldn't call it the Mirage we knew.

There is a story by Lawson and Lavigne with the Rat King that... it's fun. But, you know... I wouldn't even try to fit it in canon... the amount of continuity physics you need to bend to place this story is not worth the time. Just enjoy as a new story by these two iconic Mirage artists.

This other story by Tristan H. Jones and Paul Harmon requires more analysis. I'll revisit it on my gang wars video and try to give it more context... but unfortunately... it's just too vague. All I can say for sure is that it happens in the future of that incomplete saga, but the narrator just takes too many artistic choices to be taken at face value.

Also... I believe this is the first official (frontal) appearance of Agent Bishop (unless I got the character wrong, but Jones already tried to introduce him in this saga). I think he is still holding on to it, and I really hope he gets to tell his story. I wouldn't mind a mini-series... just saying!

The Volume 3 story was... not for me. The dialogue alone felt tired.

The Archie adventure was short, eventful, and funny... and it looks amazing too!

In just four pages a new character was introduced and... a new love story was implied! And it's not just a gratuitous cameo... this is a funny sequence.

The Saturday Morning Adventures (the de facto 87 story) looks amazing as usual, but I didn't find the story that interesting. However, it started a theme that would run across most of the stories in this special after this one: Master Splinter.

The 2003 story is a... loose canon?

Hun is Slash, and Shredder is back... so make of that what you want. All I'm going to say is that this felt a lot like watching the beginning of a 2003 episode, with the narration setting the tone.

The 2012 story was one of the least interesting in the previews, but I have to say... it was probably one of the best. It brought back a villain and it technically serves as an excuse to continue the series?

But to me the best thing about the story is the art. I am surprised Ciro Nieli didn't do more comic book work for the Turtles all these years. In fact, if they somehow decided to continue the 2012 universe in 2D in this style... I'm all in. Well, who am I kidding... I would be in anyway... but this looks amazing.

Andy Suriano did probably the most interesting story in the book. Now, I am not sure if his style doesn't translate well to static panels or what the problem is with the comic format... but it doesn't matter... this small story brought in a lot of things that ended on the editing floor after the show's second season was reduced to a few more episodes. There was a rumor about a female turtle, and not only it is here in all its glory, but there is also a brother?

And come on... it's so Lou Jitsu to die with a cliffhanger.

There are two IDW stories. One is another Splinter story, but the other one is perhaps one of the best in this book.

The Ronda Pattison story takes place just before the Armageddon game, and it shows the five turtles in full sibling dynamic (even Jennika). It was refreshing to see these turtles having fun for a change.

There are no stories by the new team, but... well... that's just starting.

Ah, who was this…Ken Mitchroney? Yeah.

Archie’s TMNT Adventures would go on to bigger and better things (a solid rec from me, for what it’s worth), but the first few issues simply adapted the cartoon (there was a whole rights tangle IIRC) and while the art usually wasn’t great at that point, Mitchroney did a good job here. I really like his drawings of Baxter, and used one as my avatar at some point.

Pity that the little gremlin disappeared after the soft reboot following “The Incredible Shrinking Turtles”.. (The Eye of Sarnath did come into play later, though).

[artemis-prime-g1]

I challenged myself on this one and my Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures (Ken Mitchroney and Chris Allen, specifically) influence came out in spades.

This was for CyberneticOreo in the @skystarsmutexchange exchange (18+ blog) where one of my giftee's prompts was involving human scientist!Starscream and Orca mer!Skyfire and because I rarely do humans and even less so anthropomorphic creatures. I had help from one of my Furry artist friends (Merih'Saan on Twitter) to get the concept down. Also, because I was working on another art project involving Esjan, I had used a generic Icelandic beach as inspiration for the background.

It's hard to draw kicking someone on the ground so hard they fly up into the air. Wasn't confident I pulled it off, so I used my Ken Mitchroney powers and gave it every kind of speed/motion line I could think of, and used "PUNT" as a sound effect just in case. I dunno...

Shreddercon!

TMNT: SATURDAY MORNING ADVENTURES #7

November 2023

By Erik Burnham, Sarah Myer, Luis Antonio Delgado, Ed Dukeshire, Jack Lawrence, and Raúl Angulo.

In order to steal something from a museum, Shredder will try to hide his crime by inciting a crowd to dress as him.

SCORE: 9

This was a "long-arc" episode, continuing the meteorite plot that started with this "season". So while the episode is stand-alone, is too open-ended to satisfy many. Shredder is successful and the Turtles end up being clueless. I think that the distraction should have had a second antagonist, not just nameless people. That way, it would have been more satisfying.

But the reason this isn't a 10 has to do with in-universe logic. In this case, about what should make sense and what shouldn't. The cartoon was absurd at times, but it mostly worked within a framework. Every other page here I was left feeling that certain things were a stretch.

For example: everyone knows Shredder tried to conquer the world several times, but then no one can touch him if they don't see him doing anything illegal. Why? He is still a fugitive criminal.

Furthermore, no one seems to know he is Oroku Saki.

The Turtles trying to find the real Shredder in the crowd was also a bad strategy for them. Too chaotic.

I loved the original concept of the Nick-Claus con or whatever it's name was...

In a way it reminded me of other funny comic books, like "Wonder Twins" or "JLI". If the rest of the issue had stayed in that same vibe, perhaps these things wouldn't have been so noticeable.

In the art, Sarah Myer continues in what I would have to classify as a "TMNT Adventures" style. At times it reminded me of Ken Mitchroney and Chris Allan.

It seems like Shredder is getting everything he needs... I wonder if there will be a season finale?

On a separate note, according to an ad, the second "Last Ronin" has been postponed to February.

On another note, you can see "Jim Lawson's version" of the Shredder in the cover.
