Review - TMNT: Mutant Nation #4
From IDW Publishing
One new title this week from the world of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from IDW Publishing - TMNT: Mutant Nation #4.
Raphael’s diversion turned rescue mission has erupted into a fight for survival! As he rallies to free his friends and forge a safe exit from the restricted stronghold, Metalhead goes deeper and makes a final stride toward his target. Can Raph still stop him from securing the secrets of this dimension, or will Metalhead make a supernatural escape?
Join writer Tom Waltz and artist Vincenzo Federici for their white-knuckle conclusion to ‘Ambush at Area 51’! Then, in the final chapter of Erik Burnham and Mateus Santolouco’s ‘Casey Jones: Agent of the Foot Clan,’ Casey and Karai meet for a devastating showdown that will set the tone for the tale to come in the TMNT ongoing!
Author: Tom Waltz
Artist: Vincenzo Federici
The two tales complete here, and they bring us right up to date for both Raphael and Casey Jones.
Raph, is fighting a big battle, with my things stacked against him. One of the main things is that he is locked up. Nevertheless, he does get out, but the associated escape with him (and the other mutants) may cause some more trouble in the long run. Taking Metlehead away for a while and teaming him up with someone new is an interesting mix, and may cause some problems in the future for the brothers - although they do have enough to deal with at the moment.
In the other story, Casey is fighting an interesting battle as we see the whole price paid by Kerai for her knowledge of magic. It gives her something to fight against, and it looks like she finally has it under control. She is going to be a force to be reckoned with!
This was an excellent pair of stories, with plenty of action throughout and some excellent artwork.
