If there’s one constant of the TMNT multiverse, it’s that Splinter gets kidnapped at the beginning of a series. Or something.īut what’s important now is that we’ve finally got the Shredder.

That’s like, the antithesis of Mirage’s TMNT. *This issue was originally published with 3 variant covers: Cover A by Duncan and Pattison, Cover B by Eastman and Pattison, and Cover RI by Ethan Nicolle and Noah Maas.Ĭounting the Microseries and the Infestation II miniseries, it took 15 issues for IDW’s TMNT series to get to the Shredder. *Don references the device Stockman used to track him from TMNT Microseries #3: Donatello. *This story is continued from TMNT Microseries #4: Leonardo. Karai introduces his kidnappers as the Foot Clan and orders Splinter to show respect to her grandfather: Master Shredder. However, before they can rescue their father, they must first endure a Boss Battle! A giant laser-spewing Mouser guards the door, but it’s no match for the rage issues of Casey and Raph, who total it in record time.Įlsewhere, in some secret chamber, Splinter’s blindfold is removed by the female ninja named Karai. Taking out some more cameras and guards, the Turtles work their way to the basement where Splinter is being held. As the guards flee in terror, the Turtles and Casey sneak in. Repairing a Mouser, Don uses the remote to cause it to break into the security control room and run amok. As for the 'getting inside' part, Don has that covered.

April offers to stand watch while the five of them go inside and rescue Splinter (much to Leo’s disapproval). Outside Stockgen, April leads the Turtles and Casey to the least-guarded entrance. Knowing he’s on thin ice, Stockman assures General Krang (and his two Stone Warriors) that everything is going according to plan. Calling from his limo, Stockman tells Chet and Hob not to operate on the specimen until he and his guests arrive. At Stockgen, Hob enjoys toying with the bound and caged Splinter while Chet nervously takes a phone call from Baxter Stockman-himself.
