Cowabunga dudes, the turtles are back! (And after all these years I’m still confused why the inventor is Donatello and not Leonardo lol)
Not that they’ve been gone anywhere, so maybe let me rephrase: the cartoon of our childhood (such an old person thing to say, I know) comes alive again within the pages of this volume of four brand new stories, illustrated in that same style we grew up with.
Each and every single one of the stories is solid in plot and truly funny. The pacing is reminiscent of the original cartoon (and maybe the Nickelodeon one, I wouldn’t know) in that while it’s action-packed, each story also gives space for the turtles’ puns and one-liners as well, allowing for their personalities and dynamics to unfold.
The strength of the visuals is undeniable: you genuinely feel like you’ve just watched an episode! Anyone who was a fan way back when will have fun (and feel the lovely warmth of nostalgia) sitting down this volume (and preferably, a pizza — you know the deal).
