Building on the blocks of the previous issue. Here is my thoughts on Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #108 from IDW Publishing.
The Turtles are trapped by a fearsome new mutant foe with seemingly no way of escape. Their friends make a last-ditch attempt to save the Turtles, but will secrets in City Hall spell salvation or doom?

The Turtle’s adventures in the sewers don’t go well – they are caught by the Slithery.
Things do get worked out in a way though. The kids are rescued and a way of dealing with the mutant eel is sorted. It’s interesting, because, like the turtles, it is a mutated eel – not a person. This makes things harder in the decision making process for the turtles.
I like that it leaves this part of the story open – it may come back to cause a problem for them in the future – or aid them.
Meanwhile Stockman is being the creep that we know he is – using the mousers to spy and contain Mutant Town. His clashes with April are very interesting, and they will hit a boiling point soon. She does have a good compromise, and it seems a good idea.
There are some other good seeds sown here – the thought of some local government in Mutant Town is one that could be interesting – and problematic if Hob gets hold of it. Plus there is whatever Stockman is really up to….
This was a good issue, dealing with the new status quo and the Turtles work well together.
