Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Nightwatcher #1 isn't just a great addition to the world of TMNT, it's a great expansion as well. I was already hooked after reading the Free Comic Book Day issue, but this issue solidifies Ba as one of the best talents in the modern comics world. It also shows that for IDW, nothing is off limits when it comes to building out the Turtles' world, even if it's an old movie only a few hardcore Turtles fans love. Read Full Review
Overall, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Nightwatcher is a fun debut issue that's packed with emotion and feels like a classic TMNT episode. The story by Ba is action packed. The art by the creative team is gorgeous. Altogether, a story TMNT fans will more than enjoy. Read Full Review

CWK: This was definitely a fun issue! The Nightwatcher's dialogue was fantastic, and the fight with the kidnapper was action packed. The artwork shined in a way that represented the TMNT universe well. Deep, rich colors give the eyes a delightful and exciting view while staying balanced with the dark nature of the city and the story. Read Full Review
Nightwatcher #1 has the vibe of a compelling pilot episode, making a clear case for the book's existence (Who is looking after the people of Mutant Town while the Turtles are scattered to the wind?), and giving its mystery hero the opportunity to break out like never before. Readers and TMNT fans should be looking forward to seeing what Ba and Pe build on this cornerstone. Read Full Review
Solid start and the character reveal was fairly obvious but one I was glad to see. It’s great the other characters from the previous IDW run are still getting new stories while Aaron does his thing.
