Legions of dead people are returning to life, the veil between realms now broken. They can remain alive at a price: take another life. Baxter Stockman’s daddy issues come to the fore, a big bad appears and the Turtles are given a quest to help them end the crisis once and for all.

If you can’t tell from that synopsis, there’s a lot going on here. Plenty of action and plenty of moving parts, but much of it seems to just happen, with seemingly important characters just randomly inserting themselves into the story.

It’s exhausting, and it doesn’t help that it just feels incredibly repetitive too. The whole resurrection element is so overplayed at this point that it’s just so dull, and it feels like there are so few stakes, that nothing really matters any more.

I honestly can’t wait for this storyline to come to a close next issue, and for the new creative team to join the title. Right now, it feels like a real low point for what’s been a really strong series until the start of this arc.
