i wonder why raphael wasn't around in the fight against old hob...? especially since he does seem righteous enough to come to the aid of helpless people. also curious about the different personalities all of them will have that have been alluded by april o'neil. regarding the lab -- also curious about the splitting of splinter's being into cognitive human-like behaviour and instinctual animal-like behaviour.

pretty interesting start;

I've been meaning to get into this for a while, guess I was a little late to the game as they're currently on issue 103. I got a lot of reading to do, luckily IDW have have these deluxe hardcovers to make it easier. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The IDW Collection Vol. 1 Before buying it, thought I'd try a same and it gave me the whole first issue, yaay!

It's awesome, there was a ton of stuff in the first issue from a street brawl with other mutants. Raph getting angry and even a bit of there origin story, it's time to hunt down those hardcovers!

We open on the surface of the city. A gang of unruly men…and others…are salty with Splinter.

Turns out, it’s Old Hub who’s back at it again. Splinter throws down, and so do the boys.

These editions are harder to follow—all the guys are wearing red. Difficult to differentiate who’s who, unless they’re mentioned in the dialogue.

But there are only three with Master Splinter—where’s Raphael?

On Burrow Island, General Krang calls Doctor Stockman. Krang is not pleased, and he needs a sit-rep ASAP.

Kinda weird story, but also can’t dock too much. It’s such ridiculous fun, being back in the TMNT universe.

But no on-page Krang appearances?? This should be illegal. 👎

And so it begins. Dark clouds gather. The skies rumble threateningly. Followed by an unnatural calm. But then the calm vanishes...

I was sadly disappointed by this. I used to love the TMNT as a kid but this just missed the mark for me. The comic uses the currently popular flashbacks to give us a taste of the origin story for Master Splinter and his mutant Turtles whilst in present day they are in the midst of a violent battle with a deadly foe.

2.5 stars for me!

Interesting...

I probably haven't read a Turtles comic since the '80s. This is definitely different, but still enough of the same to stay true to the spirit of the characters. So far anyway. It doesn't seem as campy and kid oriented as the old stuff I'm used to. Interested to see where this goes.

This is a short, quick read that reintroduces the Turtles with a new story and background. As someone who has been watching them since I was a kid, I wasn't sure if I'd like it, but I actually didn't mind. The art is well done. I would read more of this series.

[Camron Wallace · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read to end 2023 with some nostalgia. This first issue is a reboot of the 80's Mirage comics. It has a few differences, but so far nothing that'll "destroy" your childhood. It's free on the IDW app and I would suggest any Turtle fan to check it out.

I’ve always loved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I love the illustrations in this book and I love how April got the names she chose for the turtles! I liked the dialogue! It was funny at times too! I also LOVED how they had a like before and present kind of thing going on in this book!

[December · Rating 3 out of 5]

A slow beginning that sets up the classic quartet of turtles and their supporting cast of Splinter, Casey, and April. Kevin Eastman's involved in the process, but it's noticeable that this run has a younger demographic in mind that prior runs.

Beautifully made and a fun read.

[Andrew Shanks · Rating 3 out of 5]

Haven't had any good Ninja Turtles stuff since I was a kid. Hopefully, this will bring some of that magic back.

[Julia · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first TMNT I've read and I was happy with it. I'm a big fan of the cartoons, etc. so it was only a matter of time before I read the comics.

[Chester · Rating 5 out of 5]

Good start

I have no complaints. The art looks great and the story was fun. I'd for sure like to read more of this series.

Return and update of a classic

I really enjoyed this little comic. This story has a good script and nice art styling. Turtles in their prime action.

[Dove Rivera · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it!

It’s weird cause I have never read a tmnt comics and it’s so weird it stars like that...but why is it so short?

[Mariana Anaya · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 stars!

Oh, it was so good: funny & lots of action!

bof que buen primer tomo. ahora mismo dolido con no tener los demás tomos entre manos pero bueno, supongo que es lo que toca. la versión original y gore de las tortus va extremadamente dura.

[Aryanna Tunstall · Rating 3 out of 5]

Great start for the lean mean fighting machines

[Cassie Hawkings · Rating 3 out of 5]

Explore a whole new origin of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This story dates back to 2011, long before the Last Ronin was a concept on paper. We learn how the Turtles and Splinter go their names, who their enemy Old Hob is and a plan let in motion by Krang and Baxter Stockman.

[Riski Oktavian · Rating 3 out of 5]

I personally have never seen or read about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I've only heard about the story in the past, but I've never known it by myself.

Through this comic, I at least got to know a bit of the story. And in this comic, there is also an explanation about what their origins are like. I think the story is pretty good and I also know that TMNJ will mostly feature action elements.

Can be read as an interlude.

3,5 stars.

I have never read a TMNT comic book but I watched the 90s cartoon. I was never a big fan of the franchise. This series started good, my only concern is that I always thought of it as kids stuff and this time we get a more adult take on the characters. I still am not a fan, but nonetheless it was a nice first issue.

[Jane · Rating 3 out of 5]

I grew up watching the movies and the cartoons. Now that I'm slowly moving into the world of comics, I decided to finally read a TMNT one. I still don't know how to rate them though. I liked this one. That's about it. So 3 it is!

Great Comic Book Can't Wait Till Next Episode

Great book it is worth 2 dollars I thought it was a good read an fun for any one who likes the turtles

[Rebecca Timberlake · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was really cool to see how the characters came together, and the way they organized the story made it more like the opening of a movie. I definitely want to read this series all the way through.

[Zion · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great book

[Marie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the origin story, however thought the artwork was good, it wasn't my favourite style, either way I want to pick up the next issue soon!
