5“This Krang is quite a piece of work, and is drawn with that inmind. His snarling, tentacle-covered face oozes viciousness, whilsthis suit is loaded with weaponry.”

-FlickeringMyth.com

“This new take on the classic franchise proves month after monththat it's a blast and likely something any fan of the franchise (beit new or old) will love.”

-Comic Vine

He is a warlord, a genius, and a squishy pinkbrain. He is General Krang. One of themost unforgettable villains in TMNThistory, Krang has an arsenal and wit

unlike any other and his masterplan sees the Turtlescome into directconfrontation with one of theirmightiest enemies!
