Now tothe heart of issue four is the art. Theart is great and captures all the action and the story. The art portrays the action and flow frompanel to panel. The layout of all the art just helps the flow of the story. There is a few panels I wouldn't mind having as a poster. Taking a look back you could get most of thisbook without the dialog which to me is awesome. The coloring fits well to set mood and time of days in the back groundscene. And yes I still love the gritty art style. It all fit together. Overallissue four fit perfectly with the first three and can't wait for the rest. It finishes off the small story of Raphaeland set the tone for the bigger picture. I look forward to reading more andhope it doesn't fall off like some of the other reboot cartoons. I recommend it to new readers of TMNT and oldfans. Read Full Review
We'll have to wait and see how this new version of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles weaves April O'Neil and other characters like the Shredder further into the comic, but for a first arc it's been a fun ride. Now let's see what kind of trouble the turtles can get into now that they've been reunited. And, if you can find it, I'd definitely recommend picking up the variant cover by Turtle co-creator Kevin Eastman. Worth a look. Read Full Review
The art has never really been a selling point for the series, other than the long-awaited introduction of color to the franchise. Figures tend to appear cramped and unnatural in action scenes. Luckily, there are a few cases where Eastman's layouts open up and give the figures more room to breathe and expand. Nothing spectacular, but nowhere near as dark and muddled as some TMNT comics have been. Read Full Review
What a great first arc and touching origin for the Turtles. The brothers uniting hit well and the whole scene was fun. Duncans art has been consistently suitable and his action scenes have been enjoyable this entire ride. I love the way each Turtle has a slight tint of green differentiating them and nodding to the 90s toy line. This arc was fueled perfectly, I think even one more issue would have strained the reader, especially with this title being wordy at times. While the first arc is not something that is mind blowing it is a fresh and defining origin that is worth a read.
