pickPhenomenal artwork. Classic ronin style plot, loss and survivor‘s guilt. The war between the Foot Clan and the Hamato Clan—the grandson of the Shredder and Michelangelo—comes down to a climatic battle; a summation of the brutality of war, where there is no winner, and everyone loses something. Eastman & Laird outdid themselves with this epic run.
pickThe trick with making TMNT compelling is writing each turtle as a distinct character. Aaron not only does this well but also starts his new run with the four brothers at odds. Rebuilding their bond will be tough with a corrupt mayor out to get them.
pickDonatello, after meeting the most evil-looking mad scientist ever, "Let's be friends!"
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
Bucket list item: Trick-or-treat at town Halloween walk & school pumpkin party in family Halloween costumes. Michaelangelo & April! Leonardo (husband) took the picture. #Halloweenbucketlist #scarathlon #TeamWhoYaGonnaCall #halloweencostumes #tmnt
pickCame 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.
pickNot quite typical “art of” book. Has concept art for characters & scenery. As well as vehicles & interviews. I love hearing these commentary from the artists about the character designs. How they got to where they were. Don‘t usually get these, and I just loved this movie so much I had to nab it. This iteration was just so unique; with everything. Took a chance and it payed off I believe. Also; Didn‘t realize Don is the youngest here. #tmnt
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 😄🍕.
