I'm very much a 90s kid, but didn't really follow comics until I married my husband. I of course watched the TV series with my younger brother and remember playing the arcade game with him, and I of course had a favorite turtle (Leonardo, don't @ me), but this is my first time reading TMNT comics.
Writer Kevin Eastmen has started things off really well with a great reimagined origin story, setting the stage for future fun to come. Things seemed pretty fast-paced throughout the collection, and I appreciated that there was clearly time taken to tell a story (with lots of dialogue) alongside the great visuals. Eastmen even takes the time to develop April and Casey, two people who have a presence in the old cartoons but not much else. I don't even have a lot to quibble about, except maybe a minor quibble about the Michelangelo one shot included in the first third or so. The artwork was a huge step down from the rest of the book, in my opinion.
Still, can't wait to pick up volume two!
