A review by kidclamp
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 2 by Kevin Eastman

5.0

The Ultimate editions are so worth reading. I read the first volume in non-ultimate edition, and didn't think I was missing much, but the explanations after each story by Eastmand and Laird really explain how ideas were developed and where the different elements came form. It is also interesting to see Eastman and Laird comment on each others comments, though you get the feeling they didn't speak to each other while working on them. They being to touch upon their relationship falling apart as they begin to work on more projects and become frustrated with each other.

The comics themselves are wonderful, the creators artwork begins to improve in these issues, and the addition of new artists to help them meet production deadlines is interesting to see as the characters look and feel shift. The micro issues inserted between the regular story are wonderful and develop each turtle a bit more than the regular story.

I cannot wait to read more of these.
