In this opening #1 issue, you get a nice taste of everything. It is well done and the artwork is amazing. You get to see Shredder in a quick way, and Splinter too. It has some funny moments and has some action. It is a perfect opening teasing issue to what is surely to be a fantastic 6 issue mini series.

For the value of just 10.00, this is a must own comic for anyone in the horror genre of comics or movies. Such a great bargain for the price. It's all together and easy to flip through. I really enjoyed it. The writing and plotting is great, the artwork is good, but not great, but he did draw some TMNT I think, so it's fine. Great idea and a unique book. Get this and try it out. It's just 10.00 bucks new and is worth it!

While the artwork is really good as usual from Rossmo, the story has something left to be told for sure. As in the point as there's little story being told. It is enough to keep you interested and like I said, the artwork is superb from Riley Rossmo. The groundwork is laid for this #1 issue of the Rasputin series, but story driven comic book fans might not pick up #2 because of the meager story. The story is good, but it is like an appetizer to a very hungry large man. Personally I enjoyed it.
