Another great issue. Here we learn what happened to Splinter and Donatello. Plus we get the big attack plan put into motion. Bring on issue 5!!

[John Blacksad · Rating 5 out of 5]

Açık ara sien sevdiğim kapak 🗡️ Az daha bir hayal kırıklığına sebep oluyordu. Kapaktaki #zen hissi içeriğe tam yansımış diyemeyiz. Seri (aslında gayet tutarlı olarak) bu ciltte de aynı görsel estetiği kullanmaya devam ediyor. #sonronin genelinde flashback’lerde kullanılan siyah beyaz anlatı Japonya’da geçen bölümün tamamında kullanılsa, işte o zaman hayal kırıklığına uğrayacaktım. Fakat o yöntemin akabinde renkli anlatı ile devam etmişler. Dramatik yönü de güçlü denebilecek bu sayıyla finale gidiyoruz.

Heartbreakingly good.

Another great instalment in this consistently good series. I’ve really enjoyed the fact that each issue has presented us with a well timed revelation that hasn’t been at all forced, and this one is no exception. The art is again lovely and the expected “events” hit no less hard for being expected.
Without spoiling, I particularly loved - Donnies outfit art, and Mikey Sensei. My heart is in my throat for the last issue.

[TeegFett · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow what an epic way to go out for Don and Splinter. Loved this issue.

[David Dalton · Rating 4 out of 5]

What an excellent series! 5-issues? Let's go for 12.

If 5, then we only have one more thriller to look forward to. Love the story, the plot, the art, and the characters. Will the collected hardback edition be plus sized?

[John Constantine · Rating 3 out of 5]

It's actually 3.5 stars.

The conclusion I came to is that the writers wanted to check plot points, and this issue is a big check. When you have an old, wise and battle weary Splinter make at least 2 super big mistakes just to move the plor forward and check the remaining event from the past, I can't give this issue more than 3 stars. Ben Bishop's art is a saving grace, so the extra 0.5 is from him.

I haven't read the last issue yet, but while the premise is great (there remains a single turtle, a ronin) the execution is spotty. First issue is formulaic, second issue is the highlight when a certain turtle dies, the third one carries the momentum from the second one, albeit weaker, and this one falls flat, where the dispatching of the last remaining members of the family is forced and unrealistic because of the situation they get themselves into (which could've been easily avoided).

Here's hoping the last issue is better and ends it well.

I was saving this story up for a time I needed something really fun and good to read. For that it was disappointing. The main theme, that only one turtle were still alive, is the main draw, the rest is average at best.

I do like the flashbacks to earlier times that are drawn in the very early TMNT-style though.

[Malcom Gross · Rating 5 out of 5]

My favorite issue since the first!

Man oh man! This issue is ACTION PACKED! The non linear story-telling is done in surperb fashion and it kept me totally engaged in the story! This is an amazing series and I can’t wait for the conclusion!! 🔥🔥🔥

[Casey Anderson · Rating 5 out of 5]

So I rounded up. The art style used to tell the background story was really hard for me to read and see. I liked the story but the art 2as just hard to process. The story was a wee bit more jumbled over all but still great.

Now we wait

Think we're ever going to get a series of a wandering mutant's adventures through Japan? That would be pretty cool.

[brianna · Rating 5 out of 5]

pain.

[Egypt · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow! Just wow!

Again, I'm satisfied but hungry for more! Love the art, story and ending! The next issue will probably cause me to 😢 but it'll be worth it.

Bittersweet

Reading this series has been emotional! It is so compelling and well crafted. Thank you Kevin. Very well done story.

Essential Canon Completion

I love it when properties that I know continue the mainline story into the future and this was amazing, a great capstone send off!

[Nir Oren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Best one yet

[romeo lawrence · Rating 5 out of 5]

What a change

I'm caught in this story. I forgot all about the turtles until this story, now I can't get enough. Can't wait for
more

[Ahadi · Rating 5 out of 5]

done

[Jonathan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Enjoyed the training sequence and the flashback to Japan had some beautiful artwork. Master Splinter was a badass. Another touching death scene. Extra abilities!? Ooo…

RIP to this ninja turtle

[Javonda · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love it!

Very good and a lot of action. Page turner that keeps you wanting more and more. Its a little sad how the others died but very interesting.

The final battle is underway but can Mike handle the mounting pressure?
