Tales of the TMNT #67 (vol 2)there’s this odd little side story in this issue, where Raphael steps in to assist a woman in an abusive relationship, only for her to turn on him - before having a realisation and leaving her abuser and somehow tracking Raph down to thank him. It’s rather inexplicable to the main story going on, but it’s sweet and interesting and I like it. It isn’t perfect - there’s an undercurrent of victim blaming in the epilogue to it that doesn’t sit well with me, not to mention it’s an incredibly simplistic treatment of a complex issue - but the moment of connection they share is so intriguing and that Raph follows her to check she gets home okay right after he had to knock back her tentative come on has its own bittersweet charm.and this is precisely the kind of story that so influenced my own depiction of Raph in my 2k7 stories. -- source link
