Funny how things work, you know? Back in the original Mirage series, Shredder was offed in the first issue. Brought back to life later on and killed off once more (permanently) when the original TMNT cartoon was in its third year… with Shredder as a main villain. And yet, here we are on a new comic building up on a character that was essentially a throw-away. Funny how that works.
As far as this rendition of Shredder? Looks like he’s human and not a shell for a Utrom like in the 2003 cartoon (like the cartoon, but hated that version of Shredder). Then again, not much is known at this point, so who knows what the deal is. At the very least, I like the new design. Nice and simple, yet imposing at the same time. Sometimes, it’s the little things that work.
