In the action-packed conclusion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #80 focuses on the meaningful relationships between the popular characters while delivering its precise action sequences. Before reaching the very last page, the TMNT series continues to take itself to new heights.
Lines have been crossed! And now New York teeters on the brink of complete destruction! When the time comes, will the Turtles be able to defeat the enemy they dread to fight?
Here are 5 reasons why you should get Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #80:
5) Invasion of the Triceratons!

In the concluding chapter, the streets of New York have become a battleground as Casey Jones fights until exhaustion against the gangs and the Triceratons. Elsewhere, the Turtles face off against their father. Splinter. From the story by Kevin Eastman and Bobby Curnow, writer Tom Waltz delivers so intense action in a fast-paced narrative.
4) The Antagonist!
What’s interesting is how writer Tom Waltz builds the tension between brothers and their father. Splinter has always their teacher and ally, but now a rift has split their family apart. Being the leader of the Foot Clan has brought back something dark inside Splinter’s soul.
3) The Artwork!
There is always something exciting to look at in artist Brahm Revel’s illustrations. I love the fight sequence between the Turtles and the female assassin. Beautifully captured, her attacks are based on graceful dance and ballet moves.
2) The Colors!
Notice how Ronda Pattison heightens the color green in her palette. The green tones stand out in the yellowish background of the church. Splinter is drenched in blacks and shadows after turning to the dark side.
1) An Action-Packed Read!
TMNT #80 is in stores today! It’s the thrilling conclusion to the Invasion of the Triceratons storyline and includes a pretty fun showdown with an old friend.
