Raphael’s diversion turned rescue mission has erupted into a fight for survival! As he rallies to free his friends and forge a safe exit from the restricted stronghold, Metalhead goes deeper and makes a final stride toward his target.

And to make things even more chaotic, vigilante Casey Jones is on the scene as well… All in the latest issue of Saturday Morning Adventures!

Meanwhile, Raphael fights to free Mondo, Seymour, and Pigeon Pete. But how did they come to be captives in the first place? Area 51 holds infinite secrets…and when Director Braunze is briefed on the security breach, his command decision will introduce a new player who’s poised to deliver a striking blow to the invaders. Escape isn’t looking easy in Part III of Tom Waltz and Vincenzo Federici’s “Attack on Area 51”! Plus, in the third installment of Erik Burnham and Mateus Santolouco’s backup, Karai’s powers remain unchecked and an impossible order forces Casey Jones into a corner.

If dark Turtles, an angry Hamato Yoshi, and a forbidden pizza weren’t enough, Krang and Old Hob form an alliance to repair the interdimensional portal!

Saturday Morning Adventures continues with…“Bullion for You.”
