Announced at ComicsPRO's Annual Conference, this week the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic book series from IDW has reintroduced a controversial character not seen in 24 years, Venus. Or at least, most of her.

First introduced as a live-action character in the 1990s, Venus was the first female Turtle, preceding Jennika (introduced in IDW's best-selling issue #95) by over two decades. She first appeared in the television series, Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. There, she was portrayed by Nicole Parker and voiced by Lalainia Lindbjerg.

And so, indeed, Donatello does indeed visit Dr Jasper Barlow – though he is not alone. With his own issues after his revival from the dead. And not comfortable in the shell he is in.

And we get to see a little more of his mad scientist ways. And his use of Big Dragon Energy. Because, yes, that could be used to build him a new shell, or remove his need for one. But also putting together a brand new person entirely. But also someone going through  similar procedure already.
