"Hold the Raphael, this is a SOLO PEPPERONI ADVENTURE! Acclaimed Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles scribe Paul Allor teams up with Jose Jaro to meet Raphael and Pepperoni on their road trip across America on their way to Las Vegas. Raph is nursing a broken heart, and in his aching state, he loses his satchel. Pepperoni wants to do everything she can to help Raph, so she goes out on her own to get the satchel back and ends up in more danger than she could have ever expected. Don’t miss Pepperoni’s night out!"
no way this isnt just straight filler right? like this is a 2 page backup story at best but its solicited for 40 pages??? im rooting for IDW for real but then i see this and its like oh man what are you doing to me dude what the hell
and is tom waltz for real leaving after only 4 issues? are we pivoting into a straight up anthology series? what is this?
cover B is old hob of course which just makes me wonder why the hell he didnt get an ongoing. hes probably IDWs best and most interesting original character
