This book just keeps getting better with time and shows no signs of slowing down. Balls to walls action, well-themed and constructed plots that are still accessible, complex characters on both sides of good and evil, and a rotating team of top flight artists. This isn't just TMNT comics done right; it's comics done right, period. Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #41 was a fun issue. Being the start of a new story arc this issue is very welcoming to new readers as a jumping point. Although I think readers who have at least watched 1987 cartoon series will have more of an interest in reading this issue. It's a must read since the series has been building up to this very moment and shows this is a crisis were it's not just New York City that's doomed if they fail. Read Full Review

A great stepping stone issue that serves to up the stakes and speed us along to the next part of the story! Read Full Review

The arc's slow buildup proves more than worth the wait, Waltz's script buoyed by the various layers he's spent so much time developing. Whether it's the budding relationship between the various mutants to Donatello's logical yet no less disheartening betrayal, Waltz has raised the stakes to a level not seen since the series' excellent City Fall arc.

I wait for an issue of this series that disappoints me; so far this ongoing title has managed to get better each week, often exceeding expectations of the reader. From the writing to the colouring, this is an enjoyable issue that will have you on the edge of your seat wondering what will happen nextand if Donatello will align himself with his Masters nemesis!

TMNT fans will be tickled pink with the direction the comic is heading. IDW has yet to disappoint and it looks like that wont happen anytime soon. This is part one, so its best to be in on the ground floor, pick this book up, because it can only go up from here! Read Full Review

Setup issues can be kind of boring at times, but this one hit all of the right notes with precision and style that sets up the pending battle. Read Full Review

Everyone's setting up for war. Robo Donnie was the best part...his meeting with Shredder was a great moment. Turtles training scene was alot of fun too! Seeing Hob and Splinter train their youth was another solid character moment in this franchise

Cory Smith does a fantastic job on the art, including consistency with Santolouco's designs. I would be totally down with rotating the story arcs between these two artists. The story itself fell short, it just feels like filler, especially in the way it begins and ends with basically the same Krang sequence. The last couple pages, and the issue as a hole, would have been a lot stronger without the same Krang intro pages, it completely took the wind out of the ending. The character development with Casey and April is not bad, but I'm not sure where it's going other than to say, "Hey, don't forget about these two." Donatello's conversation with Shredder is certainly a highlight. The exercise with the turtles and the other mutants felt very much like filler since we just finished a whole issue of them already working together, I didn't feel like this was needed. So I'd call this one of the weakest issues so far, but that's a testament to the consistent quality of this series because this is still better than many other comics at their best. more
