    A Great Outing

    Radical and Complete Carnage never really seemed like that substantial of characters, but this comic expands their importance.  Sure, this is before the characters went on more of an elemental route and they're considered more so superheroes, but it still reads fairly well.
     
    A disappointment is how easily the turtles seem bested despite having incredibly substantial abilities.  Nevertheless, the focus is on Radical and Complete Carnage, and the tale does a great job fleshing them out.  It gives some back story to the characters making their relationship to each other as polar opposites very intriguing.
     
    Overall, the writing on this is pretty sound and Lawson draws a pretty damn mean Complete Carnage.  Sometimes the turtles look a little off, but this can probably once again be attributed to Lawson developing his own style for the turtles.  The end is clever, and it all wraps up nicely.  A great outing for an issue that fills in some gaps.
