Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Nation #1 is a brilliant introduction to a new format of storytelling within this world. Both stories open up new horizons and new angles for established characters. Neither feels like a repeat of anything which has come before and both feel like stories worthy of the legendary characters within them. Read Full Review
With that caveat, this is a fantastic comic that does everything an anthology should. TMNT: Mutant Nation gives you a sampling of what this take on the Turtles is all about. It features two great stories with amazing art, and I will definitely be back for more. Read Full Review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Nation #1 is a great companion book that catches readers up on events that some thought would have been forgotten after Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #150. Read Full Review
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Nation is a great new comic series from IDW Publishing. With great talent attached, excellent stories and proof that what comes before still matters, the future is bright in Mutant Nation. Read Full Review
A solid addition to the TMNT universe and proves there's still plenty of room for new stories within this beloved franchise. Tom Waltz's storytelling is as sharp as ever, and he captures Raphael's brooding yet introspective nature perfectly, while the backup story by Erik Burnham adds depth and continuity for long-time fans. With stellar art and vibrant colors from the creative team, this issue promises that Mutant Nation will be a fun and engaging ride for Turtle fans. If you're invested in the IDW run or just looking for a well-crafted TMNT tale, this series is well worth the price of admission. Read Full Review
This issue builds upon the (really good) untold destiny of the foot clan book and has an intriguing raph side arc. Raph is written very well here but the Casey story is phenomenal and has huge implications for its developments. This issue is going to be a must read for future events.
If you've been following untold destiny of the foot clan then this book is a must. A real solid book all around despite the price, which is kind of ridiculous. Love the cover as well. It looks like what the cover of an expansion book in the old Palladium paper rpg's would look like IMO.
I'm so glad we have this companion series to keep up with critical side characters like (Karai, Casey, & April) while Aaron focuses on his tale with the turtles. That said I felt both stories to be good but lacking in the excitement you'd want in a first issue. Thankfully each story ends with compelling situations for the following issues and I'm looking forward to what's next.
Both Federici and Santaluco absolutely bring it with fantastic art that really elevates the issue.
