I have a real soft spot for the Archie TMNT Adventures comics. They capture that bright, fun 80s/90s cartoon energy with tons of action, humor, new characters like the Mutanimals, and some surprisingly heartfelt and deeper moments mixed in.

I especially love how they portrayed Donatello. He’s the brilliant inventor and tech genius, but also the kindest, most spiritual and peaceful turtle with a near-pacifist nature that makes him feel like the true moral heart and conscience of the team. Anyone else have fond memories of the Archie TMNT comics?

Fun Fact:

In Pokemon the Movie: I Choose You!, Sorrel was deeply traumatized after his loyal Luxray froze to death protecting him in a blizzard. For a long time afterward, he was too scared to bond with any Pokemon, fearing he’d lose them too.

Sorrel eventually overcame his trauma by forming a powerful new bond with Lucario. It is gently hinted that the wild Lucario sensed his emotional distress through its ability to read auras. This special connection helped him gradually heal, rebuild his trust, and rediscover the warmth of friendship with Pokemon. The Lucario became his loyal partner, and by the time he joins Ash and Verity, Lucario fights faithfully by his side, showing that not every bond has to end in heartbreak and marking a beautiful new chapter in his journey.

I really love the bond between Korrina and Lucario. Watching them grow closer, learn to trust each other, and support one another so naturally makes their connection feel really special and heartwarming to me.
