The Turtles fight to save their city, but become trapped in tight quarters when NYC is evacuated. Will they find a way to freedom without driving each other crazy?
All in all, this is an incredibly enjoyable package, and – as I mentioned above – is definitely one of the best issues of the TMNT Universe series to date. Boss gets to showcase his visual comedy chops and Allor brings us a story that is both blindingly simple and brilliantly inventive. Highly, highly recommended. Read Full Review
This is a delightful issue, and one TMNT fans will be able to enjoy even if they haven't been keeping up with the full series. Read Full Review
After the past two lackluster issues of this series (see the reviews here), TMNT Universe #18 has it back on track. Paul Allor writes a fun one-and-done story about the Turtles trying to escape a building full of people. The dialogue is fantastic and Allor once again shows why he is just a great writer. TMNT Universe #18 is also aided by some beautiful artwork by Tyler Boss. His more animated style is perfectly suited for this type of story and he lays out the issue perfectly. TMNT Universe #18 is just a fun/silly type issue that was just a delight to read! Read Full Review
The book may feel too silly/slaptick even for an all-ages book, but it's still a fun read. Read Full Review
Tyler Boss's art is fantastic, it brings in the charm from 4 Kids Walk Into A Bank and meshes perfectly with Michelangelo's antics and Raph's twisted sense of humor.
The Good-
-FINALLY Ninja Turtle focused issue
-at long last the title characters get to star in their OWN book!!
-mildly amusing silly humor (almost a little too silly though)
-Paul Allor writes pretty good banter for the Turtle brothers (especially Michelangelo)
-back-up story was nice, and had good art.
The Bad-
-annoying bratty kids
-the plot was a bit too slapstick
-the Turtles get overtaken by aforementioned annoying bratty kids too easily.
The Ugly-
-the art in the main story was very amateurish looking, and overall very ugly.
-annoying bratty kids didn't get punched in the face or kicked in the head.
….did i mention the art was ugly?
