Synopsis
It's the coolest ninja matchup you could have ever dreamed of, had you dared! The Heroes in a Half-Shell meet the host of the Nine-Tailed Fox in the crossover everyone will be talking about. When teenage reporter April O'Neil has a clandestine meeting with Tsunade, the leader of the Hidden Leaf Village, it garners the attention of Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, and Kakashi. They aren't the only ones who are wondering what the two women were discussing, though. The sinister Foot Clan have their own interest in April's visit, as they think she might hold the valuable information on mutation research being conducted by the scientist Baxter Stockman. With April caught between the forces of the Hidden Leaf Village and the Foot Clan, it can't be long before the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles show up to lend her a hand!
TMNT: BATTLE NEXUS #5
FEB 2026 By Tom Waltz, Paul Allor, Sophie Campbell, Caleb Goellner, Erik Burnham , Ben Bates, Luis Antonio Delgado, Sarah Myer, Tom Napolitano, Hendry Prasetya, and Raúl Angulo.
As Michelangelo refuses to fight his best friend, the multiverse is about to be destroyed in the finale of this saga.
RATING: GOOD
This issue was scripted by Erik Burnham and I actually asked him a few questions in preparation for an upcoming video... but I'll discuss some of that in the spoilers section.
The art in this issue was made by Ben Bates (including some colors), and my understanding is that he wasn't the first choice... but I am glad it was him, because this story reminds me of the Bebop and Rocksteady miniseries (which also had Savanti Romero in them).
Now, there is one problem I have with the way Slash was brought back to life, and that is that it was assumed that Slash survived a nuclear blast... but he was the bomb. So how did he exactly survive exploding... I am not sure. Erik implied there was magic involved... but the script only mentions him ending up at the Battle Nexus, even before getting discovered by Savanti, so I am not sure how that could work.
The rest of the story is actually a good ending for this saga (although there are some timeline-altering implications).
There is a backup short story pitting the 2003 and 2012 turtles against each other that the pirates forgot to include (but don't worry, it is present in the kindle version and I'll discuss it in the spoiler section).
Overall, I think this was a nice experiment, and I'd like to see more interactions between iterations (even if that results in volatile situations).
Spoilers after the break...
