Fourth wall breaking, self-referential dialogue, and even a mention of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia? Simply put, this is the fourth issue of the TMNT multiverse mashup, Battle Nexus.
Donatello confronts his own creation, the robot turtle Metalhead. However, rather than the exact metal head that this particular Donatello created, we need some of his legendary “Donatello controls machines” skills. Can he become the first Turtle to overcome Savanti Romero’s challenge? Or is he destined to suffer the same fate as his brothers?
Of course, there’s a backup story, but it’s just as silly and funny as ever.
This issue is notable for starting with a fight, before at least some of the Multiworld Turtles are finally able to begin their revenge plot against the nefarious Savanti Romero. All previous issues started with exposition and the ensuing battle, with a lot of setup necessary to sell the crazy but very cool concept of Battle Nexus itself.
It feels like the backstory is finally being told and the process towards the climax is underway. This issue of Battle Nexus is a lot of fun, ending on a great cliffhanger. The series as a whole has been far better so far than what a multi-world battle royale should be. So we can only hope that the fifth and final issue reaches the high quality standards again.
