A crossover between the 2012 Nickelodeon Turtles and Batman from the Animated Series, which is an awesome concept (though I would have preferred the 2003 Turtles), though like the other Batman/TMNT crossover, it wound up being a bit of a disappointment. The awesomeness of the concept is not quite enough to carry the day, as the writing was otherwise a little weak

COWABUNGA DUDES AND DUDETTES!

Talk about a complete blast from the past! This little gem was such an adorable little throwback to my childhood and I suggest you check it out!

I was a casual TMNT fan back in the 80s-90s so I frequently interrupted my husband (who watched all of the animated series) asking him, “Was the Rhino guy in the original stories?” “What’s the beef between Shredder and Splinter?” “Has Raphael always been this much of a buzz kill???”

The first two stories are related and take place as you would recognize any comic book. The second half of the book is a group of shorts, which was great! Love all the different art and stories.

Here are a few parts you’ll love:

-Egg beater mutagen tracker - because, what else?
-The chicken, Dr. Cluckingsworth, make the cookoos in Zelda look tame thanks to the Zoo-Diac
-So moralistic - Shredder starts out wounded and the TMNT have to make the choice not to take him out
-“Success often depends on depending on others” - aw, love team books
-“They're tears of hunger-joy" (that's how I feel about pizza, too, Michaelangelo)
-Cassette tape relics. Kids these days will never understand!

My favorite story is the one where Mikey writes a comic. So adorable. Settle in with some pizza and take a trip through NY (sewers) with some turtles with ‘tude!

***Thank you to DC and NetGalley for a copy of TMNT:AA in exchange for my honest review. Who knew I'd enjoy this comic so much?!

This one was so good. The references. I knew there was a Batman crossover with the TMNT but not with the 2012 version so when I found out, naturally, I read them all. Worth it.

A mutant collects other mutants representing each animal from the Japanese zodiac. Shredder working with the turtles and splinter was something I never expected.

Good, not great. There is plenty to like, but I don't think they ever settled on a tone. The epilogue was a nice touch.

Just uh... nope. This volume is just a collection of random stories, and they're too short to have any substance. The full volume was 100 pages, and I was already bored by page 28.

Really just for young, die hard fans.

I love the turtles, but this was a bit too cheeseball.
