Is Donatello Dead?!?

The turtle family are in for some hardships as one of their own, Donatello, has fallen on the battlefield. He had his shell crushed after going up against Bebop and Rocksteady.

Yeah, I know, I should've said "Hey, get ready for SPOILERS!" or something along those lines, but come on!  These are comic books we're talking about!  So...Donnie's dead?


In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #44, it looks like Donnie might've ate it!  And not just in the "comic book" sense!

What the shell?  (sorry, I couldn't resist!)

Here's what happened...Raphael, Leonardo and Michelangelo where off fighting Krang and trying to keep him from transforming the earth with a machine called the "Technodrome."  While they were off fighting Krang, Donatello was left back at their home base to protect their lair.  Shredder knew this, and sent Bebop and Rocksteady to take care of Donatello if anything started to go wrong for them.  The turtles were winning, so the gruesome twosome went in and took out Donnie.  Donnie didn't go without a fight, but in the end, Rocksteady took a sledgehammer to Donnie and smashed his shell in.  Donatello tried to hold on for as long as he could, but in the end, Donnie passed away in the company of his brothers, his master, and his friends.

IDW is trying to gain readers, and through the work of writers Tom Waltz and co-creator Kevin Eastman, they might have just found a way to just that.  How are the Turtle's going to deal with the loss of one of their own?  It should be interesting to find out how the team handles this tragedy.
