Overall:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5 is a kick ass epilogue and has the first arc ending with a bang. Our heroes are in for a rude awakening when they return and the cliffhanger this issue leaves us on brings about an audible gasp. Catch up now if you havent because this is going to be talked about for years to come. 10/10 Ninja Stars Read Full Review
Teenage Mutant NinjaTurtles #5 is another tantalizing installment of a series designed to (and succeeding) deliver a TMNT title that appeals to longtime fans and those giving it a shot for the fray time. Read Full Review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #5 closes out its first arc with a spotlight on its villain and a display of Darick Robertson's skill. If you haven't already caught up on the new TMNT series, this issue should a great incentive to do so. Read Full Review
The consequences for how each of the turtles start off this new series is used well to tell a story that is not about them but the other characters of the franchise. Read Full Review
this was like Wilson Fisk mixed with Penguin. While the turtles don't show up, this was still a nice "filler" issue
This issue just felt off with the recent continuity of Casey working with Karai and for the mayor to have predicted only Casey would start a revolt at the speech. I still like most of it and I’m sure Aaron will reveal what’s changed Karai’s motives and if somethings controlling her as foreshadowed with her glowing eye, but as of now this issue just felt like a step down from the previous issues.
