Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection Volume 10 by Kevin Eastman, Tom Waltz, Erik Burnham
3.0
Turtles. In. SPAAAAAACE.
Krang has been arrested, and to make sure he pays for all the atrocities he committed throughout the galaxy, the Turtles offer to help escort and protect the witnesses on the way to Krang's trial. Not a bad premise, it just goes on a little too long for my taste.
Every issue is a different planet, writer, and artist. Lots of variety, but no consistency. The trial itself was also a pretty big disappointment. I was hoping to see some great testimonies and cross examinations, but all we got were 1 or 2 big speeches and nothing else.
The first TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover was what got me into reading the Ghostbusters series last year, and the 2nd one included in this volume did not disappoint! Darius Dunn returns from the dead, and while he's still a very simple character, his presence provides a good excuse for the characters to catch up and work through their different issues.
That might not be everyone's cup of tea (especially those who havent been keeping up with both books), but it's nice to see the teams have some truly meaningful conversations about death, loneliness, anger, and realizing the people who raised you can make mistakes too. It's made me realize just how badly the Turtles have needed to slow down and properly process everything that's happened to them recently. It's a great decompression story, and I hope we see more stories like this in the main book.
The art team does a stupendous job here too, changing art styles every time the teams jump to a different dimension. It felt more like a deliberate artistic decision instead of just trying to meet a publishing deadline. We also get some fun visual nods to the Dark Turtles from TMNT: Fast Forward so my little nerd heart is happy.
Overall, the Krang story left me bored, but the crossover left me feeling rejuvenated and ready to dive into the next volume. Heres hoping the next omnibus can keep my attention.
