RETURN TO THE RONIN-VERSE! In TMNT: The Last Ronin, readers were taken on a pulse-pounding trek through time--past, present, future--to witness the final gut-wrenching days of the Heroes in a Half Shell. In Last Ronin-Lost Years, new secrets of the Turtles' past are revealed as we learn more about the devastating series of events leading up to the Last Ronin's final battle, as well as its aftermath. For Michelangelo in particular, the march to his heartbreaking last battle was long and dangerous, taking him from New York City, to Japan, across Asia and Europe, and then back home again to administer final justice against those guilty of killing his family. But what happened during those fateful years when he had only the need for vengeance and Master Splinter's journal to guide him? What battles did he fight? What hard lessons did he learn? The time has come to find out as original miniseries writers Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz join artist Ben Bishop (TMNT: The Last Ronin) and SL Gallant (G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero) to finally reveal what adventures the Last Ronin experienced during his vengeful journey. While in the present, a new master, Casey Marie Jones, prepares her young terrapin students to be the next generation of...Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

If you had told me a few years ago that my favorite TMNT property wouldn't involve the Fab-4 at all, I wouldn't have believed you. How could you have TMNT without the TMNT?
This particular volume is a split timeline story, where we're told the story of how The Last Ronin (no spoilers from me here, nosir) got to where The Last Ronin picks up. Some small plot/backstory holes from the first story are plugged up here, and we're introduced to the new/next Fab-4 that clearly is picking up where the last left off. We get a bit more lore/history from the Ronin-verse fleshed out, and setup for where things are going in the future.
More of these, please.
Excellent followup/expansion to The Last Ronin, and while not earning a fifth star, I really loved this. I just found the original to contain more powerful moments and a more profound final act.
