    TMNT: Casey Jones and Beneath The Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring | Fantastic Forum

    Fantastic Forum is back with another week of conversation, critique, and comics! This episode we’re diving into two very different corners of IDW Publishing with the newest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Casey Jones mini-series and Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring. First up, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Casey Jones spins the fan-favorite vigilante out of the pages of the main TMNT series and into his own spotlight. Written by Alex Paknadel with art by Amancay Nahuelpan and colors by Luis Antonio Delgado, the series finds Casey waking from near death with a renewed mission to protect New York City. Unfortunately for him, the city isn’t getting any safer. A new strain of mutagen and a dangerous new enemy threaten the vulnerable mutants of the streets, pushing Casey to his limits while his closest allies, including April O’Neil and Raphael, worry he’s pushing himself too far. Then we turn to one of IDW’s most talked-about horror titles with Beneath the Trees Where Nobody Sees: Rite of Spring. Created by Patrick Horvath, who serves as writer and artist with lettering by Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou, this sequel returns readers to the deceptively peaceful town of Woodbrook. Beneath the storybook charm lies something far darker as Samantha Strong, the small-town hardware store owner who also happens to be a serial killer, finds her carefully maintained double life under threat when a visitor arrives searching for answers about a long-missing brother. Cute aesthetics collide with brutal horror in a way only this series can deliver. We’ve read the issues and now it’s time to break down what worked, what surprised us, and what these stories say about the range of ideas coming out of IDW right now.

    DC K.O. and New History Of The DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 | Fantastic Forum

    Fantastic Forum is back with another week of conversation, breakdowns, and comics that redefine big DC Universe ideas. This episode we’re digging into DC K.O. and The New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1. In DC K.O. writer Scott Snyder and artist Javi Fernández kick off an over-the-top tournament event where the Heart of Apokolips has twisted Earth into a gladiatorial arena in preparation for Darkseid’s return. The Justice League and dozens of heroes must fight through deadly brackets for the chance to stop the end of everything, all while the corrupting influence of Omega energy challenges not only strength but loyalty. It’s spectacle with teeth, built on big action and even bigger implications for the DC Universe. New History Of The DC Universe: The Dakota Incident #1 brings a pivotal historical thread into focus. Written by Joseph P. Illidge, Nikolas Draper-Ivey, Stephanie Williams, and Morgan Hampton with art by Edwin Galmon, Valentine De Landro, Carlo Pagulayan, and Fico Ossio, this issue explores a moment when tragedy ignites a conflict between the heroes of Dakota City and the U.S. government. It’s a reframing of Milestone history within the broader DC continuity, examining how narrative, community, and legacy intersect. We’ve read the issues, sat with the implications, and now it’s time to break down what worked, what surprised us, and where these stories might lead next.
