Issue 7 opens with Jennika battling the Nightwatcher armour itself; it’s sentient, and the battle between them ends up developing in surprising ways, with Jennika determined to wrap things up on her own terms.

This was an incredibly emotional issue, heavy on both action and genuinely affecting scenes, as Jennika confronts not just the armour or the now-caged Lao Ban, but also her own past.

I think it’s come as a surprise to just about everyone reading Nightwatcher that this is its final issue; though that’s sad, because writer Juni Ba and artist Fero Pe have created a genuinely unique story within the TMNT universe, it goes out on a high, being a near perfect seven issue run which gives Jennika a well earned send off.

The opening fight scene very cleverly homages a famous confrontation in the 2007 TMNT movie too, in which the Nightwatcher armour made its debut (though it was worn by Raphael in the movie).

Hopefully this isn’t the last we’ve seen of Jennika; she’s a fantastic character, and Nightwatcher has been a brilliant showcase for a gritty, street level and emotional look at the lesser seen mutants of the TMNT universe. Superb stuff.
