Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: the Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution #1 is a bold new direction for a franchise that has notoriously played it safe. While this issue does a lot of great things, such as setting up new characters, setting the stage by acknowledging what came before, and delivering some crazy action sequences, the heavy use of exposition and plot setup hold it back from being truly great.

A strong first outing that provides the necessary info for new readers and delivers upon the premise while setting up an interesting and surprisingly multilayered story.
The new turtles all have a fresh dynamic and feel authentic as teens, and I'm eager to see where this journey takes them. Casey Marie is a surprisingly thoughtful leader and April is used well here.

But its still a good start, and I am hoping I will like the new turtles.

Now, the long-awaited sequel picks up 15 years later, introducing a new generation of heroes & showing us just how far NYC has fallen.

Casey Marie Jones, now a seasoned leader, trains the new generation of turtles: Yi, Odyn, Moja, & Uno. These young turtles have some interesting dynamics, but are not yet to fully developed as individuals by the end of this f more
