My single complaint is with how short it all is: next issue is set to be the last and I just want more and more; I want to live in Fiffe's world, to see his take on these characters and this setting.

As good as any issue of Giant Days, which is to say - damn near-perfect.

Fun to read in single issues, and probably even better when re-read as a whole.

A demolition derby of a comic, and proud of it!

This comics is hard as iron!

Strong storytelling trumps not-as-strong art.

I wish this series was as deep as it was fun to look at.

Despite playing in the same old ballpark this issue still finds something interesting to say about the characters while delivering the goods in terms of mayhem.

Whether in Earth or in Hell, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" continues to impress.

Despite my initial concerns this issue is more than a publication gimmick. The art is definitely the main attractor here, with writing that seems uncertain of its tone and point, but there's enough interesting ideas here to make it worth a read.

This series really needs to start providing some answers before it features any more questions; still, fun is fun.

Good writing and fun art, but the story as a whole seems to lack focus.

There are ups and downs but overall it is more fun than not.

Fun it might be, but it needs to be even more fun if wants to get over the dull protagonist.

It's well-made enough, especially on the art's side, but the story feels more a like promise for something better to come.

With strong fundamental storytelling and functional (but unexciting) art this issue reminds you of old glories but doesn't quite reach them itself.

There's fun to be had, but the action needs to rise above itself.

Fine so far, but if this series wants to be more than meets the eye it should transform its pacing a bit.

The art is very good, but the plot defiantly needed another pass-through.

At 36 story pages It's not a bad package and one that's obviously pitched at a younger audience than myself, but the lead story is simply not strong enough.

Simon Gane proves rather apt at the family-drama and character-acting aspects of the story, there's a nice silent short exchange on the plane involving peanut packets. But his work, and also that of colorists Ian Herring with Becka Kinzie, is rather like furnish here: finishing this issue I just don't get the urge to read-on anymore.

Good ideas alone do not make for a good story.

The art's good and the story is a breezy enough read, but this wouldn't give the chills even for a seven-year-old, nor will it teach them any aspiring lessons.

This isn't exactly Mad Max: Fury Road, probably closer to Thunderdome

While the actual artistic craft is in there, as well as future potential, this issue simply fails to excite.
