An unsuspected good guy? - Archie's Leatherhead (TMNT comics review)

Leatherhead was adapted at the same time into both, the Archie comics and the Fred Wolf series. But this version in particular, started as a thief, and then became something else. This is the story of Archie Comics' Leatherhead A.K.A. Jess Harley.

Thanks for watching! Do you like this version of Leatherhead?

[@lucasgibbs4050]

Can you do a video about Archie’s Shredder?

[@TheTurtleNexus]

I will... but I am waiting to see what they do with him in "Forever War".

[@lucasgibbs4050]

@@TheTurtleNexus Not sure how long it will take.

[@johnnymizanin4835]

I haven’t read any of this since maybe a year or two after it came out, and I recognize every panel. I was obsessed with these comics when I was a little kid. It actually taught me how to read at a way higher level than my classmates.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

I must have read these comics many many times, but that was because I didn't have that many options back then. As I grew up, my collection expanded. Therefore I am more likely to remember panel by panel of the comics I read in first 10 years of comic-book collecting. Maybe this is similar to your experience. 🙃

[@traviswall1982]

Interesting. I mentioned in another video (Old Turtle Den maybe) that someone needs to do a video on the events leading up to Raph getting his black suit and it was (kinda) added to this video. Interesting how quickly these things happen.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

Yes, it was in this channel. I am still planning on doing a video on that saga, though. There are so many characters introduced in that story that I felt like doing the individual character videos to declutter that one.

[@traviswall1982]

@@TheTurtleNexus Oh wow. Actually makes a lot of sense. Do some housekeeping to set up the stage for things to come. Awesome. I really like that. Sorry that I mixed up which TMNT channel it was though.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

The video is published now 🙂

[@traviswall1982]

@@TheTurtleNexus AWESOME! Thanks.

I used to have this comic novel and the tape that came with it I used to LOVE listening to the tape and following along ....wish they'd rerelease this and the other one

[@geardog24]

Leatherhead should've been a permanent member of the Ninja Turtles, but I guess that would've taken the focus away from the Turtles.

[@wampwampwamp]

I'm from Russia and i don't know a lot of things about TMNT universe. Un my country we have not so much comics with translasion. Your channel is very useful and interesting 4 me. Thank you for your work

[@ShadowSonic2]

I always wondered if his human self was based on Lance Henriksen from "Pumpkinhead". Now I know.

[@Whitehorse_crimefighter]

Leatherhead wasnt evil. He just was ornery because had all them teeth and no toothbrush

[@MegaMan87]

The best Swamp Human Mutant (Through Transformation) Gator ever and the Only time that Leatherhead was really good. He was the Muscle of the Mighty Mutanimals. Until his Assassination along with the Mutanimals of Null's gang of Four... If only he had a good future as he was and could be anyones Swamp Husbando!

[@d-manthecaptain1382]

Wait he got killed? You went into a lot of detail baout everything else his character went through but really brushed over what seems to be a pretty important piece of character history right at the end.

[@TheTurtleNexus]

That's because that is the amount of detail his death has. I talked about it in other videos (like the archie comics one), and one day I will do a more specific one about that saga, but he was killed off with the rest of the Mutanimals. There is no character history there because it could have been any character.

[@Wyliecoy0te]

I love Archie Leatherhead the best.

[@xanxenon1934]

Now it has a new life and incarnation in new game 2022. He leads the life of a detective and a boxer. STEAM - BROK the InvestiGator Don't you think he's surprisingly similar to Leatherhead? I don't believe that the creator of Brok didn't draw inspiration from Turtles and Leatherhead. ;)

[@Chalor.]

The Mute Animals are the gnarliest disabled team there's ever been...even cooler than the wheelchair bound leadered Burger King Kids Club gang.

Shogun aka mirage Michaelangelo traveled to the Archie adventure series used the turnstone in the tmnt to destroy the tmnt multiverse in the conclusion of forever war going into tmnt odyssey

[@kristurowski1619]

A giant cowhead that can travel through time and space ...wtf

[@jamesmoss3424]

Leatherhead want from being bad to good. 😀👍🐊

[@beauwalker9820]

Wasn't he good in the original Mirage Studios comics?

[@grantnewton4230]

Ok so does the honest trailers guy like love Ninja Turtles or is someone paying him to narrate turtle vids

[@TheTurtleNexus]

Neither, it's a similar voice 🙂

[@soko4710]

he looks too much like Albert Gator in two of the art styles
