My undying affection for The Mighty Mutanimals is probably coloring my thinking here, but its fairly safe to say that when it comes to the snapping turtle known as Slash, the character has always been coolest in comics. Let's be real - in three appearances on the original TMNT animated series, Slash…

Utrom action is the name of the game in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #14. General Krang has finally shown his true, brainy-dude-piloting-a-humanoid-robot colors and is set to drop some serious extra-dimensional science on Baxter Stockman, much to the eventual chagrin of the TMNT...
