Meanwhile, the Turtles race to different planets in Dimension X to escort the witnesses to safety before Hakk-R gets to them first! Then, an enemy from Master Splinter's past is back and hungry for revenge. To get it, he'll summon the most dangerous foe that the Turtles have ever encountered--the Collectors, shape-shifting demons that can pass through dimensions at will and cannot be stopped once they have been summoned to harvest a soul.

One of my least favorite volumes.
I didn’t love the main title arc involving Krang’s trial, my eyes glazed over a big in the Universe sidequest where the collected the witnesses from each planet, and the TMNT/Ghostbusters II crossover was also a big uninteresting to me. There just wasn’t much here.

Not the best TMNT collection, but still a fun read.

Turtles. In. SPAAAAAACE.
Krang has been arrested, and to make sure he pays for all the atrocities he committed throughout the galaxy, the Turtles offer to help escort and protect the witnesses on the way to Krang's trial. Not a bad premise, it just goes on a little too long for my taste.
Every issue is a different planet, writer, and artist. Lots of variety, but no consistency. The trial itself was also a pretty big disappointment. I was hoping to see some great testimonies and cross examinations, but all we got were 1 or 2 big speeches and nothing else.
The first TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover was what got me into reading the Ghostbusters series last year, and the 2nd one included in this volume did not disappoint! Darius Dunn returns from the dead, and while he's still a very simple character, his presence provides a good excuse for the characters to catch up and work through their different issues.
That might not be everyone's cup of tea (especially those who havent been keeping up with both books), but it's nice to see the teams have some truly meaningful conversations about death, loneliness, anger, and realizing the people who raised you can make mistakes too. It's made me realize just how badly the Turtles have needed to slow down and properly process everything that's happened to them recently. It's a great decompression story, and I hope we see more stories like this in the main book.
The art team does a stupendous job here too, changing art styles every time the teams jump to a different dimension. It felt more like a deliberate artistic decision instead of just trying to meet a publishing deadline. We also get some fun visual nods to the Dark Turtles from TMNT: Fast Forward so my little nerd heart is happy.
Overall, the Krang story left me bored, but the crossover left me feeling rejuvenated and ready to dive into the next volume. Heres hoping the next omnibus can keep my attention.

I think what I liked most about this book was the abundance of artists. There were so many different universes and planets that were visited and each had its own artist and style. Not every style was my favourite or had the opportunity to shine, but it still made for an enjoying read. The Ghostbuster crossover main artwork was probably my favourite of the bunch.
This is back to back books now that there’s been a plot twist that I did not see coming, which is quite refreshing. Writing was fairly good throughout, but there were a handful of misses which keeps this from getting 5 stars.

Court Drama/Action & Ghost Bustin'
This collection introduces more fun and interesting characters, while having the Turtles go on some space adventures!
They do a fantastic job of making each pitstop fascinating.
The Ghostbusters crossover sequel ends up giving some absolutely unmissable moments for the Turtles too!

Easily the weakest Turtles collection thus far. Krang's trial itself is decent, but in general I find myself so much less interested in the Dimension X shenanigans. It also gets work with a pretty awful Ghostbusters crossover. I didn't like the first time around, but I think I kind of loathed this one. A couple interesting pieces of dialogue, but just mostly really annoying. The only bright spot is the two issue story "Service Animals" that the collection opens up with. After that it just significantly drops in quality.

This remains by favorite current ongoing series. Volume ten contains the dimension x miniseries and the second ghostbuster crossover. The main plot of this volume sees the return of a major villain and furthers those threads. Its difficult to wait for these hardcovers to come out (only two a year right now) but this is still my preferred way to read the series.

The Short Answer
A fun continuation of the IDW Ninja Turtles series that perfectly balances fun with a touch of emotion. Despite a few missteps in the middle this is a fantastic addition to the series.
The Long Answer
Like all the IDW Collection editions, this one collects multiple story arcs. I'll cover them all briefly below.
It starts off with a few TMNT Universe issues that help setup a few side arcs and let us spend a bit of time with Raphael and Alopex. While non essential, these issues help flesh out both characters a bit and are a nice addition. Four stars.
Then we go off to Dimension X for The Trial of Krang and the Dimension X series. This is a very mixed bag. Everything to do with Planet Nuetrino feels like it takes forever. I didn't particularly enjoy the first visit to Neutrino, and I struggled hard here. Thankfully it quickly branches off into the Dimension X series which is a fun collection of tales all written and drawn by different people. This feels a bit like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time series but overall I felt it worked better. There is some fantastic variety, some proper over the top crazy (this is TMNT after all) and even a few touching moments. Unfortunately it comes back for Krang's trial. If there is one thing I never wanted in a TMNT comic, it's intergalactic space politics. There's way too many speeches and philosophical pandering. It becomes difficult to care, and for the first time in this series I found myself skimming the pages desperate to escape the mind numbing pain. And it's only a couple issues long! For the Dimension X I'd give it four stars, but The Trial of Krang I give one star. The whole trial should have happened off page.
Finally there's the TMNT Ghostbusters II crossover. The first one of these bored me stiff, so I wasn't really looking forward to it, and what do you know, it's the best part of this book! I won't get into details but it hits all the notes of both franchises perfectly. Everything the first one did wrong, this one does right. Not only is the art and stories fantastic, but it managed to even tug at my heartstrings and add a fantastic level of emotional depth right when it needed it. This one gets a full five stars. If only all the turtles comics could be this fun!
If you're reading this series and you like it, don't stop here, it's solid! Just be prepared to hate yourself for three issues while your stranded on Planet Neutrino. Still, it's worth it.

Volume 10 of IDW's TMNT hardback collection and unfortunately for the first time it's a mixed bag.
The Universe issues forwarded a plot point, left off with an intriguing cliffhanger and the action was good. They didn't do anything wrong but I wasn't wowed either.
The Free Comic Book Day issue did a good job of showing what had come before for new readers while introducing a new villain and hyping up the next big event. Even though half of it was the comic equivalent of a clip show it's probably the best thing about this volume. That's a bit sad, really.
Next comes a 5 part Dimension X mini-series. It had varied and interesting art, some of the different worlds were fun to be a part of but ultimately it was a long fetch quest. And as for the new villain, they turned out to be utterly useless
Then we get to the trial. Oh, the trial. I loved the ending as well as what was happening in space but the trial itself was overly wordy and proved to be a waste of time.
Lastly there was the second, and to my knowledge the final Ghostbusters crossover. It had it's moments, for instance I found it was an enjoyable further character study of the turtles and I loved the nods to other incarnations.
The plot however was a bit thin and felt like it had to be stretched to fit 5 books

This volume of the ongoing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles run from IDW focuses on the Turtles in space and traveling across Dimension X. The primary focus is on bringing Krang to justice following his defeat, and the Turtles are tasked with collecting all the key witnesses. The trial of Krang is fun enough, but the story is really padded out by nonsensical side-missions as the Turtles try to convince witnesses to testify. I do like the way this ongoing series utilizes Leatherhead as a menacing yet sympathetic figure, and Leatherhead was probably the shining star of this volume.
Following Krang's trial, the volume also collects the second TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover which is just as boring as the first one. This volume is mostly fluff, albeit somewhat entertaining fluff. Probably the volume that is the easiest to skip on re-reads due to minimal propulsion of the main story.

Esperaba que este tomo no me gustara porque traía dos mini series: la del Planeta X y el crossover con caza fantasmas dos. El primero había sido malo y las mini series en general no aportan tanto a la historia y al ser un equipo diferente la calidad suele variar.
Pero al menos la primera mini serie me gustó. Vemos el juicio a Krang ylas tortugas tienen que viajar a diferentes planetas a encontrar testigos de la crueldad de Krang para que testifiquen en el juicio antes de que los mate un asesino a sueldo.
Después de la mini serie, los números centrales nos permiten ver en qué concluye el juicio y me gustó ese final.
La mini serie con los cazafantasmas estaba mala como esperaba.
Veamos qué sucede en la historia principal en los siguientes tomos.

Credit where due for creating a comic that can go in many directions, this one has a space race, courtroom drama, and Ghostbusters. Yes - Ghostbusters. The strange thing with these crossovers is that they are in continuity which is a bold move, especially with licensed properties. However, I still found the crossover hard work as I'm not as interested in the Ghostbusters and the constantly shifting art (although there is a narrative justification for the switches), and I don't really like the space opera aspects. But I also can't begrudge it having such variety, and there is a big shock in the trial, and a touching reunion with a dead character.

They really managed to top the first TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover this time around. The change in artwork during the dimension hopping had to be intense. The Universe series can be hit or miss, but it's really fun seeing all the different artists' takes on the Turtles and the world. And the Dimension X mini series was a lot of fun.

Ugh, alright, I think I’m finally ready to admit why I’ve been finding this series so boring. It’s because I’m sick of all this sci-fi mumbo jumbo crap. There’s been a Shredder-sized hole in this book ever since he died, I just appreciate the more grounded ninja-focused aspect of the plot. He needs to come back and save this book ASAP.
July 25, 2024
This volume marks the return to form I feel, in structure anyways, and beyond that it represents a gateway into the oddities of what's to come for the stories. I have no real gripes with this I just don't think there's any particularly stand out moments here sadly.
September 1, 2024
I get that Krang is the big bad, but reading his whole trial felt like too much. Props to Leatherhead for taking care of that (even though it was a problematic solution). Let's get back to the mutanimals
January 31, 2025
I enjoyed this book a good bit, I thought it was better than the last one at least. The storyline with dimension x was cool, and sets up some cool stuff to come I'm sure. The Ghostbusters story was okay, it was a decent read but it wasn't the standout either.
February 20, 2025
Mid honestly. It doesn’t help that I’ve never really cared about Dimension X stuff which is like 65% of what this collection includes. There has Definitely been diminishing returns on this series ever since they killed off Shredder.

TMNT VOL. 10
Tmnt vol. 10 is pretty good. Great read, can't wait to start the next one. The five part Ghostbusters cross over was great as well.

Somehow all that Interdimenaional-alien nonsense that I've always hated in comics, makes total sense within the world of the Turtles. Krang's trial was such a joy.
December 14, 2024
A cosmic courtroom drama and another crossover show that with the right writing and characterization, the TMNT can go be at street level or any level.
