Review: IDW Publishing's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 40th Anniversary Comics Celebration has something for everyone
Reviewing the everything you could hope for TMNT 40th Anniversary Celebration!
The name of this website and my general online presence was not consciously a reference to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but my love of the TMNT is well documented both on here and in every aspect of my public and private life.
I’ve ragged on cash-in anniversary celebration issues in the past. They can often feel manufactured or arbitrary. But Ninja Turtles turning 40 feels like a genuine…
Songs that are Rachel and Eddie coded that I’ve been thinking about non-stop.
‘The winner takes it all’ by Meryl Streep —specifically the mama mia version of course.
‘Pertadu’ by Delorentos — this one’s fucking crazy, like read the lyrics and try and tell me I’m wrong.
‘Moves’ by Suki Waterhouse
‘10/10’ by Paolo Nutini
‘BIRDS OF A FEATHER’ by Billie Eilish
‘Keep on Walking’ by Scouting for Girls
‘I know Ur girlfriend hates me’ by Annie — this one is literally used as a sting in the show whenever Melissa does something insane and Rachel witnesses it but it’s just so good.
‘Picture you’ by Chappel Roan — no explanation necessary, move along.
‘Ghosts’ by Laura Marling
‘Tears dry on their own’ by Amy Winehouse — like, yeah.
‘First day of my Life’ by Bright eyes
‘Girls and Boys in love’ by The Rumble Strips — this is the song that’s playing in the bowling alley before they start actually bowling. I think of it often.

Spotted: Redbull driver, Y/n L/n and Actor, Barry Keoghan are seen and paped leaving a restaurant together in Monte Carlo. From our sources, it looked like they were on a date and that they were both very intimate with each other. Do we have a new wag in the paddock and are we going to see one of our baby drivers walking a red carpet more often?

Come and enjoy stories that will remind you of the 40 years of turtle history.
SCORE: 10 *
* Assuming you are familiar with these iterations.
This is a strange read, and curiously, there are three or four highlights for me, and they are not exactly the ones you would imagine.
Spoilers after the break...
The first story by Kevin Eastman is in the Mirage section of the book but... well... I'll leave at that... I wouldn't call it the Mirage we knew.
There is a story by Lawson and Lavigne with the Rat King that... it's fun. But, you know... I wouldn't even try to fit it in canon... the amount of continuity physics you need to bend to place this story is not worth the time. Just enjoy as a new story by these two iconic Mirage artists.
This other story by Tristan H. Jones and Paul Harmon requires more analysis. I'll revisit it on my gang wars video and try to give it more context... but unfortunately... it's just too vague. All I can say for sure is that it happens in the future of that incomplete saga, but the narrator just takes too many artistic choices to be taken at face value.
Also... I believe this is the first official (frontal) appearance of Agent Bishop (unless I got the character wrong, but Jones already tried to introduce him in this saga). I think he is still holding on to it, and I really hope he gets to tell his story. I wouldn't mind a mini-series... just saying!
The Volume 3 story was... not for me. The dialogue alone felt tired.
The Archie adventure was short, eventful, and funny... and it looks amazing too!
In just four pages a new character was introduced and... a new love story was implied! And it's not just a gratuitous cameo... this is a funny sequence.
The Saturday Morning Adventures (the de facto 87 story) looks amazing as usual, but I didn't find the story that interesting. However, it started a theme that would run across most of the stories in this special after this one: Master Splinter.
The 2003 story is a... loose canon?
Hun is Slash, and Shredder is back... so make of that what you want. All I'm going to say is that this felt a lot like watching the beginning of a 2003 episode, with the narration setting the tone.
The 2012 story was one of the least interesting in the previews, but I have to say... it was probably one of the best. It brought back a villain and it technically serves as an excuse to continue the series?
But to me the best thing about the story is the art. I am surprised Ciro Nieli didn't do more comic book work for the Turtles all these years. In fact, if they somehow decided to continue the 2012 universe in 2D in this style... I'm all in. Well, who am I kidding... I would be in anyway... but this looks amazing.
Andy Suriano did probably the most interesting story in the book. Now, I am not sure if his style doesn't translate well to static panels or what the problem is with the comic format... but it doesn't matter... this small story brought in a lot of things that ended on the editing floor after the show's second season was reduced to a few more episodes. There was a rumor about a female turtle, and not only it is here in all its glory, but there is also a brother?
And come on... it's so Lou Jitsu to die with a cliffhanger.
There are two IDW stories. One is another Splinter story, but the other one is perhaps one of the best in this book.
The Ronda Pattison story takes place just before the Armageddon game, and it shows the five turtles in full sibling dynamic (even Jennika). It was refreshing to see these turtles having fun for a change.
There are no stories by the new team, but... well... that's just starting.

PAIRING : liam lawson x reader
WARNINGS : none
note : my birthday was great thank you for asking! I hope you enjoy this oneshot.
Today was the Singapore grand prix, the first f1 race you have been to. You laid in bed waiting for Liam to come into the hotel room, but before you could greet him you feel asleep.
At around 1 am, Liam came into the hotel room. He had been hanging out with Ken Smith, his mentor. Liam told you before he hung out with Ken that you should go home and get some rest.
Some time later, he was ready for bed, gave you a kiss on your forehead and a small peck on your lips, before he crawled under the comforter to pull you closer to his side.
You were always there for him. Coming to almost each and every race, he drove. Always wearing his t-shirt with his number. And always celebrating with him when he won.
You had so much love for him in you. And he had just as much, if not more, love in him. You were his angel, that came to him, when he needed you the most in his life.
The Singapore grand prix was absolutely amazing and exciting but also extremely tiring. So you were both very happy to finally lay in bed with your other halves.
In the morning, you woke up around 9. Eyes still closed, just feeling a tight grip on your waist, the sun blasting through the blinds and Liam's soft, undisturbed snores.
You could just go back to sleep, but passing out on the opportunity to admire Liam, while he was sleeping, was too good, as he was always the first one to wake from the two of you.
Reluctantly you opened your sleepy eyes, to see your boyfriend laying on his stomach, one arm around your waist, gripping tight and the other one laid under his pillow.
His hair messy yet perfect. His long dark lashes extremely showing, as he had closed his eyes. He looked so adorable. So peaceful. Like he had always told you, when he was with you, he was at peace.
You caressed his soft cheek and all of a sudden he let out a loud groan. Knowing that he woke up, you closed your eyes, pretending that you were fast asleep. You heard him chuckle.
“Sweetheart, I know that you are awake. But you do look cute, when you sleep.”
Still trying to pretend that you were fully sleeping, you decided to not give in no matter what happens. You wanted to see what he would do if you just stayed like this.
“Come on. Or do you want me to use my secret weapon on you, hm?” Liam asked, while he caressed your head. Even though you couldn't see his face, you knew that he had a smirk on it.
You did definitely not stop, and suddenly Liam started tickling you. You tried not to laugh as hard as you possibly could. But there had been absolutely no use.
He tickled you just a bit more until you broke. And then you let out all the laughter and small giggles that you had in you. You had tears in your eyes and your stomach physically hurt from all the laughing.
“Stop it, please! Please!” you said in between your laughter. As he stopped, you gasped for air, and he laughed, while he kissed your cheeks over and over again.
“Okay, I will stop if you give me a kiss as an apology.” Liam responded with a smile. You gave him a look and just as he wanted to tickle you again, you gave him a peck on his lips and then a longer one.
If this was your life from now one, you wouldn't change it for the world. Liam was your life ring, just as you were his. You were a match made in heaven, as his mother had always said.
