What more can I say? Where does the praise end? I can’t do it anymore. I want to be mean. I want to hate, but I just can’t. So, where do I start? (Spoilers) If you have not read this series, I will wait for you to catch up. ……. Ok, we good?

Casey Jones is finally out of the coma as Raph, Mikey, Don and Splinter search for Leo (who has been captured by Shredder). Splinter reluctantly agrees to work with Old Hob and Slash.

When Splinter, Raph,Don and Mikey finally finds the Shredder and his clan, all hell breaks loose. The Turtles and Splinter are reunited with Leo, but what happens isn’t the happiest of family reunions.

This series keeps getting better and better. The art is top notch and the inclusion of Old Hob and Slash just adds to the series extremely well. I keep giving this series high marks but that is because it is always solid and this is no different.

I give TMNT #24 a solid 5/5 and if you really aren’t reading this series, you need to!

Review:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures vol. 5

Back in the 1980’s, no one property dominated televisions and TV more than the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did. No comic company personally could tell the animated adventures of the turtles in book form better than Archie comics taking the Turtles from your TV to the comics.

What made these issues so great was the inclusion of all the wacky figures that may or may not have shown up in the cartoon show.

IDW collected issues 17 to 20 of the Archie comics. Within that series, there’s an awesome adventure with the Turtles and April hanging with Man Ray. At times, it feels like a public service announcement but these books were geared toward the youth of the late 80s and early 90s.

Overall, if you have kids and/or you had own these issues as a kid, I give this collection a solid 3/5. It’s fun, it reminds me of a bygone day that maybe we can relive via nostalgia.

Review:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Micro-Series: Alopex

Every micro-series comic that has come out have been nothing but pure pleasure to read. Solid artists, solid story and solid enjoyment.

It’s become abundantly clear to me that comics about the TMNT extended cast of villains and allies are some of the best comics made to this day.

This issue is no exception. We follow the back story and creation of one of the Turtles’ biggest and most talented villains. With this issue, we learn the level of depravity that The Shredder will go through to have loyal soldiers.

Every page was by far more exciting than the next and made this comic a fast read. I say this every review, if you can only pick up one comic book series, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you pass up these awesome TMNT books. And this issue is no different, this is a must read.

I give this issue a strong 5/5 and, so far, for the TMNT comics in total a 5/5 for the whole line of comics.
