Rat king debut but i dont show you the rat king.

[Mirage Tales of... 4. Story and Pencils Jim Lawson, Inks Ryan Brown, Letters Steve Lavigne]

ID from alt: Mikey, trapped with his arms tied to a board. He tips his head back and yells "HEY GUYS!". His mouth opens very wide, showing most of his teeth. You can't see any of the top half of his head past his beak/snout. END ID

^best all time always way to draw a turtle

[ID from alt: 1. A detailed panel of Mikey's head and arm from the side, as he breaks free. He's sweating, teeth grit with excersion and the bonds break with a "RIP". 2. Smaller panels as he frees the rest of his limbs from the board he's tied to. First bringing his one free arm and shoulder foward as he thinks "Throw my weight forward..." The whole board starts to tip forward. He lands on his stomach with an "OOF!", and the board breaks. In one last wide panel he pops back up, nunchaku in hand, in a low stance with a "YAH!". He says "A bit clumsy but I'm free!". END ID]

ID from alt: A fully page panel, Don yells "YABBA BADDA DOO!" as he jumps in from above with his bo staff in hand to aid Mikey, who is backed into a corner by some rats. Another turtle visible in the near foreground. END ID

what a goofball :D. honestly tho i expected More Rats? (yes thats probably raph but I won't rule out a 'forgot to draw leo's swords')

[ID from alt: 1. Leo scowling upwards, one arm out from just having thrown a shuriken. Mikey and Casey off to the side. Mikey holds his hand out and calls out "Leo wait!", Casey just looks on. 2. Two panels, first Mikey rushing forward looking distraught. Don grabs his arm and says "No Mike! Don't look!" Second, Mike in the forground, just his hand and part of his shell. He says "We can't just leave him there..." The rest of his brothers and Casey stand facing him. Don says grimly "Theres nothing we can do now." END ID]

I LOVE how much their mask tails are blowing in the wind here. Thats been a thing with Lawson+Brown i just think it really fits the moodyness here. Thats EXACTLY what i want to be happening in fraught moment. And they might have introed here Don having a this shoulder strap for his staff. i like it lot, seems. pracitcal? sturdy? and they gave it nice movement here.

anyway, me when i attack the guy who put us in his rat colosseum and cause him to fall into his Rat Colosseum. except like. we just busted out of the rat colosseum so i feel like we should be able. to also get him out of it....

OKAY

This next one has the animal death. and blood. They're fighting rats you understand. And Im trying to type enough for you to stop scrolling so you dont see em if you dont want to.

Okay?

YEAH?

ID from alt: Three panels of the group fighting rats. Don, in a verticle panel jabs his Bo to the ground with a snarl. A splash of blood reaches up to his knee. He says "We heard he commotion and thought you could use a hand!" then "Dirty animals!". Casey and Leo are in their own horizontal panels. Casey hitting a rat awaywith a "Bonk" as it flys towards the viewer. He says "Fly ball!" and "Outta the park!" Leo stands, almost leaning back, swords held passively by his thighs, but each dripping blood. He says "...Very aggressive -- Yet easily Disouraged!". END ID]

you know whats crazy. not one mention of THEIR FATHER. the RAT. the entire issue. harsh language don... fellas they are literally just animals.
