From the very beginning, every member of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles has proven themselves to be a ferocious fighter on the battlefield, though none so much as Raphael. While his brothers have made names for themselves as leaders, geniuses, and the heart of the Splinter Clan, Raphael has made his mark as the living embodiment of all their ninja fury.Over the past forty years, a myriad of stories have highlighted the depths of Raphael’s rage, not to mention the profoundly compassionate Turtle who lies beneath that fiery facade. Unsurprisingly, the latter are far rarer than the former. Then again, there have been plenty of hard-hitting stories with just as much of a message as those with a less explosive slant, yet only together could any of them carve out a clear picture of just what kind of hero Raphael truly is, even if he would never be the one to admit it.As a short comic unto itself, “Fun With Guns” doesn’t leave much room for character development or nuance. Despite the scant page count, the story still allows the relationship and friendship that Raphael and Casey Jones share its time to shine. Considering how close the two have been from the very start, it’s hard to look back on any story involving the pair with anything other than fondness. This is especially true when “Fun With Guns” gives readers a rare glimpse into Casey’s artistic side, not to mention how far Raphael will go to defend it when his work comes under fire.
