Poor Donnie can’t catch a break. The emaciated Turtle has been through hell, and his mind seems, understandably, broken. Where is he going every night, and why is he convinced that a dead, normal sized rat is his late father? Leo is determined to find out, but what he discovers isn’t as straightforward as he thought it would be. Meanwhile, Mikey and Raph aren’t exactly getting on well together either…

Jason Aaron’s run on the main TMNT series continues to be utterly riveting, with the mystery of Donnie’s state of mind seeing some truly interesting developments in this issue.

Juan Ferreyra is just as strong on art, with phenomenal work on both action scenes and the more quiet, reflective moments.

Though TMNT has had its ups and downs over the years, and IDW have generally been great custodians of the franchise, the main series has arguably never been as good as this; it’s phenomenal stuff, and it’s a comic I can’t wait to get hold of, every single month.

Not bad for a property that’s now more than four decades old, right?
