He also uses a particularly striking palette throughout, packed with pinks, purples and pale blues, which really helps the book to stand out alongside the plethora of other TMNT books on the shelves. Delivering a markedly different style from the main series, he adopts a slightly scratchier, slightly more ragged approach than the usual tight work of Dialynas, Wachter, Campbell et al. Revel also delivers a strong visual package, handling the pencils, inks and colours himself for the series.
After all, these glimpses beneath the mask of discipline and focus were what made her gentle flirtation and gradually blossoming relationship with Cases Jones so enjoyable to read. The punk rock origins of her defiant streak are given some much needed airtime, and it’s great to see a little more humanity in her character than the way she was initially presented. Possessing marginally more experience of mutant life than the rest of the City’s inhabitants who were mutated against their will, she seeks to provide comfort and guidance while simultaneously working through her own myriad issues.

And with so much going on in the main title now, it’s certainly welcome news that the publisher has opted to give her a solo series running alongside (although not interacting directly with) the ongoing book.Ĭartoonist Brahm Revel does a solid job of capturing Jenny’s voice as she tries to fulfil her role as self-appointed protector of “Mutant Town” by tracking down a would-be escapee before he gets himself into too much trouble.
Ever since she started gradually inching into the spotlight and evolving from Foot Clan henchman to full-fledged character in her own right, and long before she underwent her headline-grabbing transformation, Jennika was undoubtedly one of the most interesting parts of IDW’s ongoing TMNT series.
