It’s no surprise that Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreya are squeezing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The semi-shell heroes had previously been separated, but even when they returned together they had to deal with the lingering resentment, a kangaroo court built by the city of Hale of the Hieronyms, a city that permeated the enemy. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 finally provides light at the end of the tunnel and breathes fresh air.
Again, Aaron switches his perspective and this time it becomes Hale. With a big twist, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 starts with something we’ve never seen before. Up to this point in the book, I have seen him hold New York with an iron grip, so questions remain.
It turns out that people in New York are willing to stand up for the turtle. The pages later on the page showcase people approaching the stands and provide testimony about how the turtles saved (in one of my favourite panels, a group of children who attacked Michelangelo on the subway confesses that they were saved by the “power of the nunchuck.”
But Ferreja doesn’t just do a great job on the court scene. He once again comes to explain the huge two-page spread where the turtle and April O’Neill jump into action against the legged clan, which is glory. Donatello uses one of his feet as a stepping stone, Raphael puts barrels into them with all the power of the freight train, Leonardo engages in close-up combat, and Mikey is his usual whirlwind of chaos. If that’s not impressive enough, Ferrelia continues to give each turtle’s movement distinctive colour, making them even more distinctive.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 finally draws Karai from the voluntary expulsion she was in, revealing how she has changed. It writes about trouble for the turtle, but it feels a little abruptly again as Aaron and Ferreja run finish the next issue. I can’t help but feel that April hasn’t been able to spend enough time with the idea of picking up Casey Jones’ weapons and hockey masks. Certainly, Casey finally leaves his coma and claims his own title, but it would have been fun watching the issue from April’s POV as she gets used to the cracking of her skull.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #11 gives the hero a very deserved victory in the half shell as Jason Aaron and Juan Ferreja set the stage in Run’s Endgame. When everything is said and done, Aaron and Ferreya have been offering one of the most unique TMNT runs for years.

Aaron shows that the Big Apple is still a turtle home, giving them much needed victory.
Ferreya is once again surprised by the beautiful two-page spread.
The stage is set in one hell of Endgame.
Sean Lee’s letter peers into the reader’s da Hale’s slowly sinking state of mind.
I wish I had more time to explore Karai and April’s new status quo.
