Perhaps my favorite element to the tale, though, was the way the script was paced, with regular interludes to the history of Slash's people, punctuating the present-set action. I particularly liked how he worked in both Slash's palm tree obsession and his reduced intelligence into the story. I think Jeremiah struck a steady balance in terms of tone between Slash's admittedly sillier Archie back story and the grittier, more political atmosphere of Mirage's Volume 4.
So, without further ado, here is the comic as sent to me by Jeremiah:ĭefinitely a cool little story with a rebooted origin that sticks very close to Slash's Archie Comic roots (while IDW's reboot is playing a little closer to his Fred Wolf origin). With Slash's recent comeback via the IDW TMNT comic, now seems like a better time than ever to become reacquainted with The Evil Turtle from Dimension X (who isn't always from Dimension X). The tribute book was canceled during the Nickelodeon buyout so I've just been sitting on this story in the meanwhile." 4 continuity and commissioned a friend to draw it. Several years ago, Go Green Machine was putting together a fan tribute book that I wanted to be a part of so I wrote a script introducing Slash to the Vol. Slash has always been a favorite, with his bad ass toy and adventures in "Adventures," which I bought off the rack at a local drugstore from #23 until the end of the series. I was born in '83 and have thus developed a lifelong love for the Turtles. Jeremiah had this to say about the creation of the story: The story was drawn by Randy Valiente and lettered by Kris Johnson. Apparently, before the Viacom buy-out of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise from Peter Laird, Jeremiah wrote a 10-page comic introducing the villainous, palm tree-obsessed Slash to the Volume 4 era of the Mirage TMNT series. About a week ago, I received an e-mail from writer Jeremiah D.
