If you're not a fan of April, or only a fan of the classic cartoon April, this issue won't likely be of much interest for you. It's also not something to come into "cold," but you can probably enjoy it only having read the first arc of the main title.

Overall the "Micro-Series" issues have been solid reads, providing self contained stories with significant impact on the main ongoing title while still being accessible for new readers.

The problem with a series like this, is now you're selling the story to a group of people who, for the most part, are in their 20"s, early 30"s who have been fans for ages.

Save yourself the $3.99, and don't get this comic book. If you're a hardcore fan and need to have everything ninja turtle related, all power to ya. Read Full Review
