TMNT Volume 19: Invasion of the Triceratons

Hi, this is Bobby Kernow, Chief Turtle Editor

at IDW Publishing, and you are going to have

a shell of a good time inside the pull bag. You've

just jumped inside the pull bag. Join TFG1 Mike

and the rest of the comic reading crew here at

the GC RN as they make their great escape into

comics. From DC, Marvel, IDW, Boom Studios, Xenoscope,

and more, we have everything you want to read

right here. Transformers comics? Yeah, we cover

that. E -Men? Yeah, sure. DC superheroes like

Batman, Batgirl, Nightwing, and Batman Beyond?

Yep, we have those too. How about TMNT from IDW

and I Hate Ferland from Image Comics? Yeah, we

have all that here. Plus, so much more. It's

all inside the pull bag here on the Geekcast

Radio Network. So without any further ado, it's

time to talk about the comics we are reading

right now here inside the pull bag. hello and

welcome to the pull bag this is episode three

fifty seven yes that's right folks we have guns

to our heads uh... i'm of course tfjoe and mike

joining me is mister joe reid hello sir hello

so it's probably been about another year since

we've done one of these things i think the last

one we did was uh... tmnt ghostbusters 2 yep

yep tmnt ghostbusters 2 which was i feel like

it was at least six months ago but I don't know,

I'd have to look at the web. It doesn't seem

that long ago. It was 338, I believe, which was

at least almost 20 episodes ago of the show,

so yeah, it's been a while. Yeah, it had to have

been January, February, somewhere in there because

335 is when I started the new year. We're here.

We are returning to the sewers. We're going back

to the sewers. We're talking about IDW Publishing's

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the main ongoing.

This time, according to this, volume 19 for trade

paperback. Invasion of the Triceratons. This

collects issues number 76 through 80. And holy

schnikes. The story, written, script. Kevin Eastman,

Bobby Kernel. Tom Walz, Tom Walz did the script.

The art in this is interesting. We'll talk about

this as we go along further. Art by Damian Cicero

on chapters one through three. So essentially

issues 76, 77, and 78. And then Bram Revel in

chapters four and five. So 79 and 80. So the

artist does change. two out of the five issues.

Colors by Rhonda, the always great Rhonda Pattinson.

Series edits done by Bobby Kernow. Letters and

production done by Sean Lee. So we get to the

Triceratons. This is always an inevitable thing

in the Turtles universe because that's the way

their story kind of goes. So they're basically

just coming back from Ghostbuster land. Think

yeah, yeah slide it in there. This is if you

didn't read the Ghostbusters comic They're just

coming back from their adventures in dimension

X. Yep, and the the king Gave the Triceratons

the ability to go pick a world somewhere go back

where you came from and go you've earned it You're

no longer crank slaves. You fought for us. Thank

you killing all the bugs now you go do your own

thing and then the turtles jump in the teleporter

and then we all can pretend that they had an

adventure with the Ghostbusters in New York in

an alternate universe, but boom they're back

from Ghostbusters land teleport into the sewers

Obviously we've known this for years now folks

since we've been covering this they always call

back to things that happened before so Pepperoni's

been swimming this entire time I Do love the

art Where the hell I know he's there where okay,

so The big splash page here where the turtles

are looking at the news and the fact that all

-out war is kind of broken out in the streets

and everything else. It's Leo, Raph, and Don.

I'm like where the hell's Mikey? Like I love

that shot. I love that image, but need all four.

So they're basically, I can't do this page by

page, they're basically trying to figure out

what's going on, the fact that these things on

the news kind of look familiar, and we come to

find out that the Triceratons have pretty much

invaded. The battling that's going on has been

taking place between the EDF, the Earth Defense

Force, Bishop and his crew, his army of people.

Kind of out in the open doing what you know,

well, they're protecting earth. That's their

job. Yeah, I Don't know bishops always been sketchy

to me. I don't like that guy too much. She's

new. Yeah I in that by that point. I had not

been watching the that was the 2003 series. Yeah

And I didn't watch it I knew of him but like

oh, hey, that's that business suit guy and that

was all I knew yeah This is my first introduction

to bishop and yeah, he just sees a heebie -jeebie

creepy guy So I love how commander's arm and

everyone else is like, oh we'll We'll try to

commingle with them. We'll try and of course,

you know giant Triceratops looking giant dinosaur

people, of course, everybody's gonna be scared.

I hate you know Dogs and cats living together

mass hysteria If And I hate that bishop is controlling

slash I hate it I mean, I love the character.

I love where the story is going I just as a fan

of slash and as a fan of the turtles in general

I can't wait until we get to the point where

slash can break free of bishop because that just

It creeps me out, honestly. How far have you

read ahead here? I haven't read, honestly, I

haven't read Turtles since we, since when we

did Trial of Krang. I have not read, when I read

this for this episode is when I first read this.

I have not read ahead at all. I'm just not, I...

i read your show here covers post issue eighty

okay uh... until until you read your record read

right before the record don't know uh... don't

look at those covers yeah i'd might have seen

them in passing is that obviously they're they're

up to like city at war part with the issue ninety

four now as far as currently being released so

whatever happened it happens in kingdom of rats

i have no clue like i remember the covers briefly

but yeah if you look at the same too hard out

so I do love Damien Cicero's art I think it's

really cool I think he does really cool Triceratons

I think they look almost skeletal with their

giant cheeks and the sunken eyes the angular

faces I like I like that a lot yeah god slash

it it just breaks my heart fucking bishop So

we get the Triceratons versus Slash versus the

EDP or the EDF or whatever the hell they're called

kind of a thing and then the Foot Clan, yeah

all the smoke happens and the Foot Clan show

up and the turtles are like what's going on here?

Yeah, it's it's uh, you know, we splinters out

in the open with the foot clan attacking the

Triceratons It's uh, they're they're defending

their city is what what they they're doing But

they don't know that the Triceratons are are

good and the turtles they do and so they're they're

looking at this Like what way what is going?

And we have April and Baxter and all of that

and April's parents, and I like that part I think

that's super cool, and I'm gonna say this right

now folks you're Yeah, you're gonna hear me gush

about channel 6 news in a little while cuz holy

schnikes. They brought burn Thompson in We're

officially an issue 77 now. I think so yes Because

that's the problem with some of those collected

editions is they do it by chapter crap things

going crazy and I'm not sure where where the

hell's the chapter break Looking for it. Anyway,

yeah, so we're probably an issue 77 by now cuz

I yeah, I think it's yep Yeah, there is there

is I got it. Yeah, so This is issue 77 with all

-out war the Triceratons and the EDF Soldiers

defense force. Yeah. Yep AARP CIA FBI. Oh wait,

don't say those cuz people might be listening

or they most likely are but People listen to

this. No Hey, it's ratings. Who cares? I wish

ratings equals cash in podcasting, but sadly

no So we get you know, so we're deep in issue

77 now We get the the Baxter stockman April O

'Neill angle We do see like, you know master

splinter oh this breaks my heart This it's this

is the the concerning fall that I'm watching

You know splinter has he's the leader of the

foot clan now. He's Replaced shredder in a way

and he thinks he's being Kind and doing the right

thing but you will do you're a leader of these

this organization of assassins and he's protecting

his city in this particular scene he's making

a deal with Bishop to Cooperate to get out of

each other's way bishops. I mean he thinks all

the mutants are a threat as well. Yeah But he's

thinking of making a deal with Splinter here

to get rid of the Triceratons, because they can't

have their war if the Triceratons are just annihilating

everything. And so he's putting his ninja clan

on the task of controlling and getting rid of

the Triceratons, I think by assassinating a leader.

But it breaks my heart to see... Splinter doing

this it it feels so out of character Yeah, and

that's the point I mean they were meant to Sympathize

with the turtles and the turtles to say that

he's doing that this is wrong that you can't

be doing this Murdering and leading of a criminal

organization. Yeah, really you're not shredder

mm -hmm So the turtles eventually find the Triceratons.

What are you guys doing here? So they all have

a compound or confab or whatever you want to

call it. And, you know, bond and figure stuff

out and we get a nice big splash page of the

Triceratons doing stuff with the battle. And,

and I love, I love the end of the, I think it's

the end of this. Is it the end of this? Yeah.

I think it's the end. I don't know. I love Donnie.

wish that line was said by Mikey because I feel

like Mikey should have said it but Guys, we're

gonna need a bigger boat. I Love that. I think

that's super cool So I assume this is the next

or this might not be I'm trying to just double

-check here so I can see if the chapters Anyway,

all right, so we might be on 78 by now. I don't

know. So basically we go to Washington DC where

Bishop is talking to the senator, whoever he

is, and we see Byrne Thompson, Channel 6 News,

and... Like, I get it that obviously the reporter

has to have, you know, the helmet and the, the,

the flat, the flat, the, the, the bulletproof

vest and whatever. Does the bulletproof vest

really need to say press on it? Really? It, it

does it. It would, it would, um, bad guys might

not be so inclined to shoot the press. Well,

I don't know. Um. this day and age can read english

though so see that's the thing there like oh

no this day and age there's not a lot of people

that can there's a lot of things in the news

that people get pissed about lately but i love

and i actually had to go back to the original

eighty seven series and i'm not questioning bobby

or tom or kevin because obviously kevin's the

creator for co -creator for crap's sake i was

trying to remember for myself bern thompson i

remember the character i remember the last name

but i always thought it was bern thompson so

bern bern is the uh... bern isn't it yeah i remember

yeah i know i know i remember but now that you

said i think it's chief burns isn't it yeah i

get that that was in the ninety movie but uh...

but the end chief burns was obviously police

chief uh... So I had to go back and I had to

just, for my own sanity, just double check. And

yeah, his name is Burn Thompson from the 87 show,

which again, I think like bringing channel, I

was wondering, I've been wondering for years

now when they were eventually going to bring

in channel six. Not necessarily saying April

had to work there, but what's going on? The name,

the... I thought it was just Stearns was the

police officer. I can't remember Pennington Pennington

was the reporter. No, Pennington was the reporter

that got fired Or that fired April. Yeah, Chief

Stearns was the police chief Well, you looked

it up I mean I should trust you So He's reporting

on this we get detective Kara Lewis getting an

interview by him We get more things with Bishop

and the senator and by the end of it Bishop gets

his money and his resources and whatever we cut

back to April and her parents and Apparently

her mom used to be this intrepid reporter So

she's gonna go running off reporting on things

and whatever the Triceratons show up at their

home and enter Casey and the Purple Dragons.

Yeah. Another neighborhood defender. That's right.

And damn, this fight scene is cool. I love this.

You know what, this is really setting up here.

You have all these different factions kind of

stepping in to defend the city. The Turtles are

defending it against the EDF, but the Triceratons

are a faction, the Purple Dragons. The foot clan

are factions. It's almost setting up a city at

war thing here I wonder I vaguely remember when

I first read this thinking that man is this supposed

to be our city of war are we getting that now

but Well, no, that's the subtitle of a current

book, but yeah, that's what I was thinking here

is we had everybody Yeah It's yeah gosh. I just

realized too with April's mom being the reporter.

She goes and finds a yellow trench coat Yep and

The fact that hun comes in and helps like I just

love that I think that's great with everything

that hun and Casey everything that hun has put

Casey through and everything hun has been through

I love that they're finally You know back to

Fighting together instead of fighting each other

Yeah, that's that's one of the key themes of

the turtles I think is Generally the turtles

win by making people members of their family

Casey is a member of their family and through

him. He's turned his enemy father into an ally

You know brought him back into the family and

I think yeah, I'll say that for when it happens

in the later books So we end up back at the foot

clan and uh splinter has the turtles waiting

outside um talk about family and and drama and

everything wow splinters like i kind of get where

he's coming from but he's not in the right here

at all yeah it's he's he's what is it it's the

he's following the code he's doing what's right

by the code he's following procedures yeah his

his logic is not wrong but he's not making the

moral decisions he's not making no kind decisions

and you know there's a reason for that it's interesting

on this page here how many times his face is

just solid black like yeah it's it's not him

he's hiding or you know he's the dark character

here which obviously Which, I don't, I mean obviously

Kingdom of Rats, which is the next volume, we

kind of all know just by the title. Like you

don't even have to read any solicitations or

anything for that, like you just know. It's gonna

be a Rat King story. And you're right, now that

I look at this again with all the splinter and

shadow things. Oh boy, nice setup guys, that's

cool, that's great. So the we we end the issue

I assume it's 70 something 78 78 with the The

the EDP or the EDF or whatever the hell they're

called the EPA I don't know one of them government

organization things bishops people with all their

resources now We begin issue 79. This is where

the art changes, and this is where I have a few

issues. Now this is where, because I read it

a month later after that last one came out, I

don't even think I noticed. But in a trade, you're

going to notice. Well, yeah. It's not about the

Triceratons. It's not about Bishop or Slash.

They look fine. Actually slash his legs look

a little bit more stick figure ish than a normal

looks a little hellboy ish a little bit. Yeah

It's mainly when the turtles and splinter are

fighting each other eventually and The art makes

them all look like Paper dolls I've been as I've

been flipping through this site. It does seem

Uh, everything seems a lot flatter. Yeah. And,

uh, and you know, I'm, I'm a big fan of Rhonda

Pattinson, but I, there wasn't, there's not a

lot of information there for her to mess with

in here. I mean, the colors are great. All of

the colors are amazing. I don't have an issue

with the colors. It's the actual art from the

second artist and it's only when that characters

are in locate perfect example is if it the the

page where uh... leo says to make sure that she

doesn't father this page uh... i don't know the

the actual page number i'm trying to find it

i can't see it yeah so this page the far away

shot you look at leo's legs in the center of

the of the church aisle or whatever wherever

the foot are his legs look like they're sticks

and i don't like it i'm sorry i i just i'm not

a fan of the art even bishop in the following

pages where he's fighting the triceratons there's

a top panel where he's picked one of them up

where he and slash have picked one of them up

his legs almost look like the only thing i think

of is paper dolls or you know stick figures or

something i don't know you know i am seeing a

lot of there the anatomy is definitely exaggerated

and in places uh i think from effect and i'm

seeing a lot of uh some maniola Influence in

this guy whether That's where it came from or

it's just coincidental. Yeah, I think I Think

that's interesting to note I Got like I understand

it's an artist interpretation and everybody that

has ever worked on this series has had their

own Interpretation and that's great, but we're

not always gonna like it You know, we can't always

like everything that everyone does. Like, even

Splinter in these last two issues... He looks

like a six -month -old druid. Like, we've talked

about this. The page you're looking at on the

monitor here, that looked a lot like Samurai

Jack. Yeah, like we're cut out. Yeah. And I like

Samurai Jack. Everybody likes at least everybody

I know like Samurai Jack in one way or another.

But like it just we've talked about this at length

when we do these episodes and throughout the

years that we've done this, that we've covered

this TMNT series from IDW. Everyone has their

own interpretation of Splinter, but it's very

difficult, apparently, to draw a humanoid rat.

without making him look like a dog or... Yeah.

We've been conditioned to expect certain features

from Splinter, but those features are actually

dog features, not rat features. And I think a

lot of modern artists with him will try to put

more of the rat features into him, and then it

just doesn't look right anymore. Yeah. I don't

know. So, we've eventually come to a point where

everybody figured, you know, The Triceratons

whole point is they want a home. They want their

home back. You know, this is where the Utroms

took their ancestors from millennia ago, or however

long ago it's been. So Splinter kinda caters

a deal, or Baxter and Donnie kinda cater a deal

between the Utroms and the Triceratons, where

they can all live on Burnell Island. everybody

can be you know it's shielded from from the EDF

and Bishop and all that and everybody's all happy

happy joy joy and you said it earlier basically

everybody's here because at the end it's old

hub with man Ray And I'm like, oh, okay, so we've

got essentially the entire Turtles universe that

we've seen in this ongoing, in this entire trade.

Obviously the Triceratons are new. Because we

are Turtles fans, we knew of the Triceratons

for 30 plus years, 35 years at this point. Oh

my God, TMNT is 35 years old this year. Oh God,

my head. Triceratons being introduced in this

I love it. I think it's cool. I like how the

story was told Basically getting everybody in

to defend against them supposedly and having

the turtles take the position that they took

having splinter take the position he takes Even

though his position saddens me greatly. I understand

it's a different point of view and It may not

be the correct one, but it's a point of view

at least he's quote -unquote, making a choice.

This entire book, the only thing I had in my

brain was Hugh Jackman Wolverine. Everybody's

got to choose a side. You sure you're on the

right one? Kind of thing. I think it was from

X2 or whatever. It was from one of the original

X -Men movies. And I absolutely dug it. I thought

it was fun. The art on the last two issues, It's

okay. It's not bad It's just not what I enjoy

Seeing the turtles and their characters look

like Specifically the turtles in splinter I think

like the other character like old hob looks like

old hob right here like it doesn't look like

Like it doesn't look like not him Kind of a thing

What were your overall thoughts after? reading

and rereading this arc I... This has been...

It's been hard for me, this particular arc. I

mean, even going back to the Uhtram Wars. It's

not where I like my turtles existing. And this

arc is even worse because everybody's mad at

each other and everybody's fighting and... But

they're all good guys, with the exception of

Bishop. They're all good guys. And so it's really

uncomfortable. And I'm waiting. I don't know.

I always Feel bad that in a lot of these stories.

We never have the characters get to a status

quo We never have them doing the things that

they want to do, right? It's always just like

this Catastrophe this this unfortunate sad happening

And so it's good. I mean everything makes sense.

Everything is logical. Everything is is powerful

it's just It's just very sad. It's uncomfortable.

Yeah, it's very, very uncomfortable. I don't

want to say this is more uncomfortable than when

Mikey split from the Turtles, like when they

had the big rivalry back in issue 51 -52 kind

of thing, like that whole arc. I don't want to

say it's like that, but all the good guys...

all having different opinions. Yes, as I said

earlier, having a different opinion is okay,

and it is good. The problem is you have, with

the exception of Bishop, pretty much all the

good guys not agreeing with each other. Yep.

And even April and Baxter, Baxter now kind of

working to help everybody, replacing Harold,

because Harold's mad at the Turtles. Yep. They're

kind of their own little thing too, and Casey

and April aren't together yet. Again, they're

off doing their own things. Ultimately, I think

this arc and the previous arc had to happen to

set up City at War and what will eventually happen

in issue 100, which I can't even imagine. I only

hope that at the end of it, we get a relatively

happy ending where everybody's Family again.

Yeah, I don't know how that's gonna work. I have

no clue And I'm glad that I have no clue because

you know It wouldn't be a surprise if we already

knew what the hell happened kind of a thing.

I can speculate They they they're they're setting

up a lot of things up that could happen. And

you know, I mean we could have cheryl utrum shredder

Whatever is happening in the shredder in hell

series can pay out somehow And that's definitely

not going where I think it's gonna go. We're

not to review that at some point Oh, yeah, we

will and we also have the one shots the most

recent macro series. Yep Those were really good

too that we need to go through oh, yeah We're

gonna get to a lot of turtle stuff at at some

point here folks so More turtles are is coming.

It's summertime Joe is is no longer in school

I'm no longer teaching America's youth how to

build houses, so I have podcast time now there

you go Yeah, we've got a lot of turtle stuff

to cover. I don't know when this is gonna happen

hopefully soon We will get to volume 20, Kingdom

of Rats. So what would you rate Invasion of Triceratons

on 0 to 5 scale? Man, just because it's an uncomfortable,

unpleasant read for me. 3 .5. average turtles

issue is is 4 .5 for me I think but I mean still

this is the best iteration of turtles we ever

got you need to read the entire series from beginning

to end all the trade paperbacks and mini series

but for this particular arc it's just a drag

man it's a drag yeah I'm gonna give it a straight

three out of five full -on middle ground I very

much enjoyed the story I love the first three

dating in cecero's art i love that uh... the

other guys arts or girl i don't know off top

my head i'm not a fan of it it's still told the

story and i still like it for that uh... so there

is that see a three and three and a half out

of five not bad ratings it's like we said middle

ground I mean on a zero to five scale that's

still a good rating it's not like we gave it

a one yeah I don't know if we ever get to a point

covering the IDW turtles that we get to rating

something a one then Shredder did something I

don't know what he did but he did something to

us maybe the utrabs experiments on our brains

or something oh wait i already had brain surgery

i don't want to have another one was it was it

done by a human are you sure i yeah i'm fairly

certain fairly certain so there is that um i'm

not sure let's see what's well actually i do

know what's coming up next what's coming up next

is i i think was it you that expressed interest

in this the probably movie prequel okay so might

be joe with me might be joe and my buddy ryan

who wrote right has been doing a lot of transformers

and other comics with me lately he did almost

all of batman month with me so very cool dude

so might be all three of us back again might

be two of us i don't know how that's going to

work uh... says it was a three fifty eight next

month in july in july Yeah, all I can think of

is like I know that's that's what that is. It's

more than a barge that but that's the first thing

I think of I'm like Maurice doing doing Orson

Welles. That's amazing in July. We've got hopefully

Steve Megatron can return for mighty war from

Power Rangers volume 6 That's episode 359 episode

360 is gonna be interesting because we've got

the IDW 2020 series IDW publishing is celebrating

20 years of being in business this year And they

did these one shots Joel beyond what one of those

we've got Star Trek Jim of the holograms Ghostbusters

my little pony and TMNT so very very cool kind

of alternate stories not connected to the ongoing

we will catch you next time here inside the pull

bag But wait, there's more So folks we've had

a few programming glitches and changes to the

pullback schedule You've obviously heard this

episode of the podcast and me saying certain

things are coming and certain things aren't coming

well things have changed over drastically a few

things I've had to move around in the schedule

So ignore everything that you've heard in this

podcast as far as upcoming episodes of the show.

Except for Transformers Bumblebee movie prequel

that will be at the next episode, episode 358.

Episode 359, Joe and I recorded Superman Year

One Number One. This is the DC Black Label series.

So that's the first time we're doing DC Black

Label on the podcast. After that IDW 2020 and

episode 360 featuring Star Trek Jim and the Holograms

Ghostbusters My Little Pony and TMNT 361 is Batman

TMNT 2 with Joe and myself and 362 is TMNT 81

to 84 Kingdom of Rats with Joe and myself and

then as I said Autobotly August will continue

our tradition of Transformers comics here inside

the pull bag so I just want to let you guys know

the things that changed were episode 359 pretty

much I think that's it and episode 362 was originally

going to be something else but as I said in the

episode we bumped it up for it to be the kingdom

of rats arc for TMNT lots of cool stuff coming

into the pull bag I just want to say thank you

to all the listeners out there. Silent listeners,

listeners that speak up. You silent people, speak

up. Let us know what you think of the show. As

I'm used to saying that at the end of every one

of these dang shows. So, keep reading those comics.
