Huh?

Starts off really strong and immersive. Getting into the downfall of the turtles is very gripping and you really find yourself rooting for the heroes. Then it just kinda.... ends? There is a fight and all, but it feels like the writer's didn't know how to go about delivering the final blow. Still a good read if you like the dark side of TMNT.

I have been a big fan of the Ninja Turtles and Mikey (being my favorite) When i figured out that he was the last ronin i was excited to read the rest of the book, it turned out great! This was my favorite comic book i have ever read, i quickly bought the second book to find out more of the TMNT the last ronin series, and with this series you never come out empty handed.
