In the prelude story
"Monster Island," Old Hob has established a settlement on Mutant
Island, but Colonel Wesley Knight is still suspicious and has been
monitoring him. Wanting a closer look, Knight finds the bodies of
several mutants strung up in spiderwebs on the island! After the
events of "The Armageddon Game," the Turtles have found themselves
at a crossroads, attempting to keep their family united while
individually feeling the need to break away and explore life in a
world that knows about mutants. To clear his head, Raphael jumps on
his motorcycle and heads west on a solo road trip with the wind at
his back and no destination in mind... until a dormant enemy out
for revenge on the Turtles engineers a dangerous detour to Area 51.
When Raphael is held hostage with some unexpected old friends, his
soul-searching quest mutates into a crisis as he brawls in the
desert to keep the E.P.F.'s cache of coveted technology out of the
wrong hands. Will Raphael find his new purpose away from his
brothers... or just more trouble than he can handle alone?
