This is too much a typical middle issue. Too much exposition, too much history, not enough action going forward. But I'm confident it's going to get better. And soon. ( )

Oh Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, how do I love you! Let me count the ways!

This is the most awesome thing I have ever found in a thrift store (and, it came with volumes 2-4). Be Jealous of my luck!!

On to the review - this is not your Saturday morning cartoon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. No Pizza, catchphrases, and April is a scientist's Assistant! The turtles themselves are grittier, more realistic. The plot is fairly similiar, but with more violence and blood. Oh yeah, and beer drinking (Mmmmm Beer....) This is not for young kids.

So, to conclude, this graphic novel is awesome. That is all. The End. ( )
