This was definitely a dud for me.... like it was a big disappointment to me. There is a part of me that wants to harshly say that I dislike. I remember I was even a bit angry because I was so disappointed in the quality of this issue. I really wanted to have a story that has some sort of effect on the story at large. As of me writing this, I don’t think that’ll happen for any of them.
One of the only things that I can say is going for this annual is the characterization. The characters are pretty accurate - if you’re using the show as a reference point.

The preview for issue #16 was interesting.

Skold's story was cute, the second story with Rhinox I didn't really care about and I'm blanking on the Morphlings story because I really didn't care about that either.

However, the issue 16 preview at the end? Fantastic.

Cannot wait to see how 15 plays out for us to end up here.
