A fun new take on the same old turtles. IDW added a fun new sense of adventure to the still recognizable characters and do an excellent job of combining many of my favorite aspects from all previous iterations into one new universe.

All respect to the original, black and white Eastman and Laird collabs, but this iteration is perfection.

Eastman and Laird had no idea how long they'd get to write these stories. Each book could be their last early on. Obviously the original series was mostly positive as it spawned a decades long fandemonium, but it had its shortcomings as did all of the iterations since the original collab ended.

Now Eastman is back with new collaborators to take all the best aspects of every TMNT generation, combine them with the creativity that made the Turtles famous in the first place, and create a super series.

Really a 4.5 out of 5 stars! I struggle with giving an established series or character 5 stars- usually reserve those for new, creator owned stories. However, this was close. So much fun - I found myself constantly wanting to read this hardcover. Sitting down to read one issue would turn into reading 2-3. A great retelling and if you have any interest in TMNT, this is a great ongoing series to dive into - no need to know anything about their background as everything is retold with a new, modern take.
