Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin #1 by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Andy Kuhn, Tom Waltz

3.0

Been wanting to check this comic out ever since I saw the title and artwork. I’m loving the futuristic world that it’s set in and this volume makes for a cool introduction to our protagonist.

You can quickly tell that the others are in his head through their greyed out colours and speech bubbles coming from behind him, but I like how it doesn’t immediately reveal which Turtle our Ronin is until the end of the volume. I was pleasantly surprised because my initial guess was wrong.

So far there’s an interesting blend between the lighthearted convo that we expect from the Turtles and an obviously more serious tone with the story and circumstances. It doesn’t feel as dark as I was hoping (compared to Hush and Harleen for example) and maybe that’s down to the volume being a little on the short side, but the story is interesting enough that I’m sure when the series is complete we’ll have a decently sized journey.
