What terrible events destroyed his family and left New York a crumbling, post-apocalyptic nightmare?

Eastman and Laird are joined by writer Tom Waltz, who penned the first 100 issues of IDW's ongoing TMNT series, and artists Esau & Isaac Escorza (Heavy Metal) and Ben Bishop (The Far Side of the Moon) with an Introduction by filmmaker Robert Rodriguez! Collects the complete five-issue miniseries in a new graphic novel, an adventure as fulfilling for longtime Turtles fans as it is accessible for readers just discovering the heroes in a half shell.

Lately my primary hobby has been video games which means that my reading has taken a huge hit. A year ago, I saw a trailer for The Last Ronin. I remember sitting in front of the television watching the TMNT cartoons. So, The Last Ronin video game caught my interest and I put it on my wish list. I was surprised to learn a bit later that the video game is going to be based on a comic by the same name. I had to read it, I checked it from the library

Came into the story with only the basics: 4 turtles raised by a wise rat ninja. They live in the sewers and LOVE pizza. 2 of the 4 brothers are named, Michael Angelo and Leonardo.

This held its own. Easily a standalone. Actually, was glad that I hadn't came with emotional attachment to any of the characters...otherwise might have thrown the book a few times.

Either way, still managed to make me cry...can't believe that the TMNT made me cry LOL.

Although my big brother had been a fan, I have never really given TMNT a real chance.

When I was little, I watched him play with his TMNT action figures 💕💝. Wish I could say which of the brothers he favorited.

A few months ago, I saw this Ronin action figure and I purchased it to add to my brother's collection...which I have inherited (although I currently have them in storage).

Then I found all these! OK I guess I'm an official fan now 😄🍕.

Jari-chan Gotta love the Turtles! 🐢 🍕 13mo

74/150 My only exposure to the TMNT has been through the kids cartoons and the usually awful movie versions of the characters. I've never read any of the original comics, but now I want to, because this was great. The story is dark and sad, gritty and pretty violent. The artwork by Esau & Isaac Escorza, with interludes by Kevin Eastman & Peter Laird, was also amazing. 4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

The art is gorgeous and dark throughout. The story is rapid, and action-packed. I‘m only a quarter into this graphic novel and I‘m in love with TMNT all over again.

Eastman and Laird return to the characters they created to tell the story of the turtles' tragic demise. Ironically, TMNT became a phenomenon in the hands of others with less grim sensibilities. Eastman and Laird's original vision was much closer to Frank Miller than the hit tv show. There are some great action moments, but the villain is incredibly flat and the writing is utterly humorless.

The Last Ronin is Eastman and Laird's version of Days of Future Past.

Look what arrived today! 😍💕📚 Both of these graphic novels were ones I had preordered ages ago, so it was a nice surprise to get them today! I am obsessed with the first Lore Olympus book, and highly recommend the series to anyone who is a fan of Greek mythology! Plus the art is so beautiful! The Last Ronin is a five issue series by the creators of TMNT! This edition collects all five issues together in a lovely hardcover! 🐢💕
