The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comic hasn't been one of the most-read in years, but the writers are hoping to change that by going a bit over to the dark side. Bear in mind that what we have to talk about below is overrun with spoilers!!!
In Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles issue No. 44, Donatello is killed in action, and we are not talking about a death where he gets to come back at the end of the story. In all seriousness, Donatello is dead, and his death was quite gruesome.
Writers Tom Waltz and Kevin Eastman, who is the co-creator of TMNT, has committed to a plan to make the Turtles more grounded in reality. Usually, the word "grounded" is mostly used by DC and Warner Bros., but now it appears others are taking notice and going this route with their comics.
