Hines In A Half-Shell: TMNT #11

EPISODE 336 - We are at issue 11 of the original run of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Comics. April and the gang are recovering in a New England farm. April writes in a diary, and we see through her eyes how each of the other characters recovers from the crushing defeat they had at the hands of Shredder last issue. It's a contemplative, emotional and dare we say it --- extremely patient and grown-up issue! The comic that started at least partly as a laugh and a lark has matured into a full world with feelings and integrity! We love this issue! In a way, this is the end of the first era of these comics. From this point on, it's rare that both creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird would be involved at the same time making the comics. There are some exceptions (We will cover the trilogy they did the next year in our next episode). But this is the end of their initial run. We forgo Loose Screws this episode to instead discuss a "Relevant Screw." We discuss the most successful of the Turtle rip-off comics: Adolescent Radioactive Black Belt Hamsters. is it good? Well, no. But there's something kinda fun amidst the mess! --- For bonus monthly episodes, subscribe at screwitpodcasts.com Email us at [email protected]
