In Nickelodeon’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles they have Michelangelo taking the hits as being the dumb one.  His brothers pick on him big time, a great example will always be in "The Gauntlet" when Donatello is told to stay with Michelangelo.  Personally I find this a pet peeve, most of the time it’s just wiped off and Mikey acts like it does not bother him.  Though in Season 2 there is an episode where Michelangelo shows that his brother’s actions do hurt him.  Here is my review of “Mikey Gets Shellacne”.

New York City Comic Con is doing a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle panel each year for the new Nickelodeon series.  Very fun panels worth going to.  As I mentioned in the New York City Comic Con review I want to share this panel with everyone.  Which brings us to my review of the TMNT panel with a wonderful set of guests on stage.

Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series enjoys bringing characters from our past back to get the fans excited within their new cartoon series.  One of the characters we were teased with in Season one is Mutagen Man.  Used once in the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon series, this character is known by fans more for the action figure which was on the market.  There are those of us who remember the young man who went to deliver a package and fell into Shredder’s Mutagen.  Now we get a whole new look at him in action in episode 30 of Nickelodeon’s TMNT  “Mutagen Man Unleashed”.

Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series has been an amazing ride and still going with new episodes all the time.  While I’ve been working at giving the fullest of reviews, I noticed that I have fallen behind with real life stuff eating away at my time.  Making my long reviews much harder to write, as I do not have the time to go into the full details that I enjoy giving.  To help us catch up on some much needed reviews, I am going to change up my review format.  If people have questions about parts of the show that I do not get to cover, just ask in the comment section.  This reviews is about episode 29 “Follow the Leader”.

This be the season of love in the air and Valentine’s Day stuff all over the place.  Every story carrying something slightly different from the last and it just seems to keep coming.  For Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we’ve had everything from glow sticks, erasers, chocolates to stickers showing up at the stores.  This time we are focusing on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Tattoos.  That’s right, Valentine Day Tattoos.  What will they think of next?  Here’s my review of this new item you can get for your children to give out.

Nickelodeon made sure that we all knew that season two of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was going to be filled with Mutants.  The end of the first episode hinted at what the first mutant we were going to see was going to be in this long hunt for all the mutagen canisters.  The big question was ahead of us is how dangerous is these mutants going to be, and will any of them become friends to the Turtles?  We got our first real taste of just what the Turtles could face in episode 2 of the season with "Invasion of the Squirrelanoids".  Here is my review of this hyperactive mutant mess of pure gross tales.

What a season, so much Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles merch released this year that there was no way to have a review from every item that came out.  I hope that everyone enjoyed all of the reviews that we did share, with great toys.  With the Holiday Season done we are going to try and focus the site back on the Nickelodeon Cartoon and the IDW Comics, as well as keeping the toy reviews coming.  In February 2014 Toy Fair is coming up, which means that toys are still a high focus point for us here at Cowabunga Corner.  

Here's another TMNT Comic Giveaway! Ending date to enter is Tuesday December 24th, 2013 by 9pm Eastern. There's three ways to win now!

These are issue 23, 24, & 25 of IDW's TMNT CVR A signed by Tom Waltz!

In the original cartoon series, Shredder did not try to kill the Turtles right away.  He offered for them to join him.  This was used again in the 4Kids series.  Each time Shredder has tried to win the Turtles over to his side he has failed, and soon decides to destroy them.  In the IDW comics we have a different situation where Shredder knows the Turtles from their previous life.  He does not want just any Turtle, he wants Leonardo.  He has a goal set and is aimed to get it.  In TMNT #22, Leonardo was caught by the Shredder.  So here comes the question that everyone has.  How will Shredder get Leonardo by his side?

In the first issue of IDW's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we learned of a new villain. This mutant cat who was out to destroy the Turtles. He hated them, and had some history with the Turtles. Though the question often rises why this cat is as bad as he was. Now IDW is sharing with us their Villian Micro Series helping wrapping up some of the questions. This month's TMNT Micro Series issue is all about Old Hob.
