(A-) 81% | Very Good
Notes: Impulsive teen, weird villain scene, the plot goes full dystopia, it’s urban war, explosive lore, a flashback cornucopia.

*Progress update

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

We get some more flashbacks showing the fate of Casey Jones and Leo. Tragic battle that was lost. Meanwhile in current times, martial law has been set in motion and our team feels like it’s now or never to strike back. Loving this series.

[Derek Neveu · Rating 4 out of 5]

I don’t know what’s worse: Knowing all of my favorite characters die or seeing them die? Deaths aside, this is a great storyline and the only thing that puts a damper on it is the long delays between issues.

Macera fırında! Bu bölüm biraz daha #tmnt evreni ve karakterleri bilmek gerektiriyordu. Şöyle bir göz atınca okuma ahengini bozmadan devam etmek mümkün. Kaldı iki.

[R.J. Huneke · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best books I’ve read in a while! Wow!

[David Dalton · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a great dark future type story. PG-13 for sure. Love the characters and the writing. Both top notch!

[Dwight · Rating 4 out of 5]

Still good series

Great series continues. I’d say 60% of what I like is art and design and 40% story overall. In this issue more like 70% art 30% story, just because there is so little story.

The aesthetic is absolutely beautiful, some of the best in comics I’ve seen. Emotion and action are reflected so well in the style. They could even rely more heavily on wordless panels for emotional communication and save dialogue space if they wanted.

The narrative moving forward is fairly by-the-numbers. Nothing surprising. Did not need the two pages or so of the big baddie singing his own praises from a rooftop repeating the same things we’ve seen him saying every issue. Also they make a weird choice to cut away from an exposition conversation only to cut back immediately and have Mikey relate all the exposition that just happened in a “so what you’re saying is…”

The flashbacks are a little more interesting then the moving forward, which concerns me as we are 3 into a 5 issue run. Very little hope that much resolution will happen in this first five.

They DO make a rather brilliant artistic choice to put the more exposition-heavy flashbacks into wonderful wood-cut style panels on one page. It’s quite beautiful.

Still recommend and I’ll keep going. Largely for the art design which I cannot say enough good things about.

I have really been enjoying this series, and as always will try to review spoiler free.

This was the weakest issue so far for me. The art was still top, and the dialogue was great. The development of the story is keeping my interest. My favourite character was featured last issue, so I wasn’t expecting as much of an emotional impact with this one but I really didn’t like how it was handled. There were aspects of it I loved! Very heroic and it’s probably just my personal preferences.

[Nick LeBlanc · Rating 2 out of 5]

The weakest chapter so far in the series. Spends a lot of time setting up a pending conflict while giving a pretty boring end to a pair of characters. I'll see it through to the end, but this was the worst so far.

[Kristofer Wright · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved the back story and flashback.

I'm loving every issue of this series. I never thought April would be the tech wizard. I can't wait to see what's next. And of course Oroku is a crazy as can be. I fully recommend

[Aryanna Tunstall · Rating 4 out of 5]

Although I know that their aren’t mutant turtles walking around today the biggest plot hole must be April get rehab and therapy after getting blown up by the new leaders of the city. Why was she not immediately arrested

Spoilers
As I marked it that way

Okay so like the whole time I thought it was Mikey or Donnie and then I concluded it was mikey just based on the part where he’s like “I tried calling Donnie-but nothing”

So I was correct and now I’m sad because I like donnie and poor mikey

Now we wait...

I always knew Leonardo and Casey would make the best stand. Even Valhalla will stand in awe. Now I just have to wait another year.

[Kenneth Himes · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome

Great read, easy to follow. Loving it!! A great story that captures you from the first issue to the last page!

[Cyril · Rating 4 out of 5]

Quite good and solid, as the last 2 issues.
4 stars

[Shim · Rating 3 out of 5]

Once again not much happens. A bit more backstory.

[brianna · Rating 5 out of 5]

this one was setting up more of the groundwork of their plan

[Jay · Rating 5 out of 5]

Awesome, so much backstory done so well without feeling like an exposition dump. And the art is fantastic!

[Danilo Otašević · Rating 5 out of 5]

Za početak i više nego dobro. Žanrovski ništa novo, ali jako zanimljiv razvoj glavnih junaka u tom ambijentu. Konačna ocena sledi tek kada se serijal završi.

[Calvin Daniels · Rating 4 out of 5]

love this series!

[Ricardo Nuno Silva · Rating 4 out of 5]

(I'll review after reading the last issue)

[Scott Kelly · Rating 4 out of 5]

Same review as the previous book... I love this story, but the kid in me is very sad.

[el · Rating 3 out of 5]

The story was good to start, but mostly to satisfy my nostalgia, by book three I was pretty bored. And there are 7 in the series, not five.

[John Constantine · Rating 4 out of 5]

A bit of a step down from the previous issue, but still solid. I am warming up to the Escorzas, but I still prefer Ben Bishop's art.

[Anubhab Barik · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really was hoping this issue would be better. With only 2 issues remaining, and having heard good things I hope things kick up a notch.

[Christoph Weber · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is too much a typical middle issue. Too much exposition, too much history, not enough action going forward. But I'm confident it's going to get better. And soon.

Turtles!!

Keeps getting better and better. Love how they are going back and explaining what happen before it all came to the now.

Cada tomo me destrozaba más, el líder del cual me esperaba una muerte épica murió en un abrir y cerrar de ojos 😭
