It's once again time for Fan Fiction Fest! After clearing out the TMNT News hopper we explore several Fan Fiction projects that have popped up recently.

Shellheads #122 – Fan Fiction Fest V

Rebre’s deep-dive into anything and everything Ninja Turtles.

These guys don’t embrace as many aspects of the show as they should. Well, for people doing a TMNT podcast anyway...
They are dry but they are trying to be more lively lately. Their jokes are getting better too. So I will stick with it, especially since they are tackling the Next Mutation.

There aren’t so bad

The podcast is interesting enough but it’s difficult to listen to, they somehow manage to take such an incredible franchise and turn into a boring, dry discussion. It’s mainly one guy talking and driving the conversation while the other guy just kind of agrees with him, doesn’t make for good conversation.

Pretty dry

Shellheads: A TMNT Podcast

Nick TMNT

We've finally made it to one of the most beloved TMNT TV series, the 2012 Nickelodeon CGI show. Packed with big names and produced to impress, it's hard to not like this lovable version of the TMNT. We tear through the first half of Season 1 in this 24th episode of Shellheads!

Shellheads #021 – IDW Comics #1-8

Episode #011 is all about the first 13 episodes of Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation. Widely seen as one of the worst iterations of the TMNT, this Saban produced show from the late '90s has many dubious distinctions. We do have a few nice things to say about the show, but boy do we have a lot to say about this abomination.

Shellheads #011 – Next Mutation Part 1

We've finally made it to TMNT 2K3! Its the closest thing we have, and probably will ever get, to the original comic book on TV screens. We cover episodes 101-112 in this cast and we leave with a wet appetite for more 2K3 action!

Shellheads #022 – TMNT 2K3 Part 2

We're back to reading the original Mirage Turtles! This time we hit the Mikey, Don and Leo one-shots and #8-11 of the ongoing. This is an iconic run of the book whose influence can be seen in everything from the first film to the IDW series. These are the roots of the TMNT as we know them.

Shellheads #016 – Mirage Comics #8-11

Many of the versions of April we've come to adore haven't aged well, but she remains a pivotal part of the Turtle's lore.

Shellheads #025 – April O’Neil
