Presenting the complete TMNT stories in recommended reading order, including one-shots, crossovers, and event series. Everything a beginner could need, everything a diehard could want.TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman and writer Tom Waltz guide readers through a ground-breaking new origin and into epic tales of courage, loyalty, and family as the Turtles and their allies battle for survival against enemies old and new in the dangerous streets and sewers of New York City.Collects the first 12 issues of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles ongoing series, plus the Raphael, Michelangelo, Donatello, Leonardo, and Splinter Micro-Series one-shots. Review: T-U-R-T-L-E Power! - I was introduced to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, like many, via the 1989 cartoon series. The series, of which I was a ravenous fan of as a child, has not aged quite like fine wine. More like stale pizza. Ripe with animation errors (that can mostly be forgiven), the series also unfortunately lacked a shred of seriousness. Wall-to-wall with corny jokes and constant meta references, and populated by not particularly threatening villains, its promise of mutant ninja action enticed the imagination more than the show ever actually delivered on that promise. However, the live action film that hit cinemas in 1990 was a revelation. Fun and lighthearted enough but counterbalanced with a sharper, more serious tone than its animated counterpart, relentless combat action, genuine stakes, and legitimate villains, it would cement me as a TMNT fan for life. Eventually, I would check out the comics. First, the Archie series as a kid, then later, any Mirage issues I could get my hands on at the second hand comic shop, as well as the black and white Image series. I enjoyed all of them. More recently, I picked up a few issues of the IDW series... I started around issue 145. Good reads but by this point, the series is knee deep in its own lore. I liked what I saw enough to go back to the beginning and check out what I've missed. Boy am I glad I did. I was planning on only buying the first one of this set, but after finishing it, I have already ordered Vol 2 and will probably order a few more volumes after that. First, the product itself: beautiful, large, hardcover book, great binding, lovely large, colorful pages. And collects 17 comics! Second, the content: a reboot of the franchise, this series takes a little from the animated series (Beebop and Rocksteady, the Turtles love pizza), a lot from the comic series that came before it , and does a lot of its own thing (a unique take on the Hamato Yoshi/Oroku Saki backstory and mutation origin story). The results are an absolute blast! Nice characterizations, awesome artwork, sharp action. This is not a dark and deeply serious book, but at the same time, it's not all ridiculousness and goofiness either. It finds that sweet spot, that neat balance between the two. It's also appropriate for younger readers. Yes, there is violence and there are some mature themes (child abuse, murder, etc.) but it's all handled thoughtfully and nothing is over the top. Highly recommended. Review: Damaged product - disappointing as I received my item damaged

Excelente recopilatorio
El mejor recopilatorio de la serie de las TMNT que está publicando IDW en América. Está en inglés y recoge tanto la serie principal como los comics transversales de los personajes (One-shot) en el orden correcto de lectura, lo que ayuda mucho. Contiene los doces primeros números y los One-shots de Leonardo, Miguel Ángel, Donatello, Rafael y Splinter. Al parecer éste tomo tubo problemas con el montaje y a muchas personas se le despegaban las hojas. Yo lo recibí hace unos días pero de momento no he tenido ningún problema, por lo que seguramente éste percance lo deben haber corregido. De momento un 10 al cómic y a la edición.
