I believe it. People die in comics all the time. Heck Peter Parker was confirmed dead forever and he's still come back.
So....is it shocking, yes. Will I be reading the comic for a while, no. But still. It's not surprising.

Yeah I know.
But, you know the comic book rules: You kill off the main character, fans will go after you.
And I'm sure Donnie will come back to life... we'll see.

So the brains of the team ends up biting the dust. Should've seen that coming. Truth be told, I always thought it would be either Leo, Raph, or Splinter getting killed.
Mostly Splinter. His death would've inspired the turtles to train harder and protect New York and the people they care about as his final request. And probably go after Shredder to avenge him.

Yeah. Except that is almost the plot of the first Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle movie, they'd have to try something new anyways....

The real fucked up thing is you can never take a character's death seriously in comics anymore. Ever.

Cause 3 issues later "Ohh he's alive by this Deus Ex Machina. Carry on everyone"
Some say that he knows 2 facts about ducks, and both of them are wrong. And that 61 years ago he accidentally introduced Her Majesty The Queen to a Greek racialist. All we know is, I'm going to the tower now to have my head cut off, and he is called The Stig.

Sure you can.
Bruce Wayne's parents and Uncle Ben are still dead.

Well, yes, backstory characters stay dead. People you've seen don't die for real unless they were in only one or two issues.

But it is true. People don't stay dead in comics unless fans want them to.

Gwen Stacy died in 1973. Times were different then 
And of course she's come back every now and then anyway, usually in the form of a clone. Granted, it's always temporary.

Donatello is my favorite Turtle, he has been since I was a little kid. But I'm not upset. For one, he'll likely be back. But even if he's not, good on them for being emotionally realistic about subject matter like death. And also for not cheapening it by bringing him back (*cough* Sally in Archie Sonic *cough*) or killing a nothing character (*cough* Ari in SatAM *cough*.) Thing is, if you're going out and fighting villains every night, eventually you're going to lose someone or be killed yourself. Garth Ennis once said that he didn't consider his MAX run on the Punisher to be "realistic" because while it was more grounded, if the Punisher was a real guy eventually the mob would get him. And probably sooner than later. Many people question why we haven't had a Punisher or Rorschach in real life. The answer is we probably have, but they were whacked within a month. It doesn't matter how smart or well-trained you are, luck and skill only carry you so far. So while I'm a massive Donatello fan. this won't keep me from reading the book. If anything, I applaud the decision. Also, there's so many different versions of Ninja Turtles that even if he stays dead in this one, it's fine. There's another universe where he's alive where I can enjoy the character.
