With a giant rat skeleton to deal with, along with familiar faces returning from (and trapped in) the realm of the dead, our heroes have their work cut out for them. Just another day in the life of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, right?

This issue, which wraps up the Ujigami arc, feels incredibly chaotic at the outset. However, by the climax, it becomes an incredibly sweet and fulfilling ending, with an intriguing new addition to the status quo of the TMNT.

There are moments where that aforementioned chaos means that Freddie Williams II’s art loses some clarity, but overall it’s genuinely great work as usual.

Writer Gene Luen Yang and Williams II are a superb pairing for the Turtles, and though I’d like to see the mystical elements dialled back a bit, now that this arc is concluded I suspect we’ll be back to more street level stuff. I’m certainly excited to see where we’re headed next.
