story that started it all number 8
attack on Technodrome oh man that was a
short trip this four-part story has the
turtles trying to stop general cranks
Technodrome from terraforming the earth

onslaught of blows that would eventually
crack open Dawn’s shell after the rest
of the turtles defeat Krang and stop the
Technodrome they teleport back to the

mistaking Leonardo for a fat priest
ordering him to carry the brash
swordsman across the river insulting the
disguise Leo along the way when Leo

excellent thinking he’d found an opening
who soggy strikes with what he believes
to be the final blow only to slip in
some mud and fall on his back Leo could
have finished the fight with who soggy
down and unable to defend himself but
instead he helps him up and commends him

[Music]
you

April’s apartment in Leonardo number one
the story picks up in TMNT number 10
where the rest of the Turtles with the
help of Casey Jones take on the shredder
and his army of foot soldiers let’s face
it the shredder was way too menacing a
villain to be a one-off guy for the

and was handled in a way that
demonstrated why he makes such an
excellent nemesis for the turtles
something much worse comes for you for
when you die it will be before we unveil
our top pick here are a few honorable
mentions
[Music]
number one TMNT Volume one number one oh
the little ones were crawling into a
strange glowing ooze from a broken
canister nearby the comic that started
it all originally written as an homage
to superhero comics specifically
daredevil the New Mutants and other
popular characters at the time this
issue introduced a number of key
elements to the TMNT mythology including
their origin story and their
arch-nemesis the shredder oh maybe I’ll
add hardware’s for making coleslaw
in fact the shredder is actually
seemingly killed at the end of the issue
when after being defeated in combat he
pulls out a grenade in a last-ditch
effort to take the Turtles out with him
only to be knocked off the roof by
Donatello staff as he explodes
of course the shredder would return but
the first issue set in motion what would
become a cultural phenomenon that
continues to capture the imaginations of
fans everywhere
