RETURN TO THE RONIN-VERSE! In the smash-hit miniseries The Last Ronin, readers were taken on a pulse-pounding trek through time—past, present, future—to witness the final gut-wrenching days of the Heroes in a Half Shell. For Michelangelo in particular, the march to his heartbreaking last battle was long and dangerous, taking him from New York City, to Japan, across Asia and Europe, and then back home again to administer final justice against those guilty of killing his family. But what happened during those fateful years when he had only the need for vengeance and Master Splinter’s journal to guide him? What battles did he fight? What hard lessons did he learn?The time has come to find out as original miniseries writers Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz join artist Ben Bishop ( The Last Ronin) to finally reveal what adventures the Last Ronin experienced during his vengeful journey. While in the present, a new master, Casey Marie Jones, prepares her young terrapin students to be the next generation of…Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

I only just read Last Ronin and I'm already glad to be back in this world.

In The Last Ronin, we heard the tale of the last remaining Turtle and how he became the Last. There's a reference to his journey to Japan where he intended to let himself die and this new series covers that period of time. I am here for it.

At the same time, in the present, there's a new generation under construction so we get a little info on that, too.

I wasn't too endeared to the next gen here, but I really loved the look back at Ronin's* journey. (*nickname used to protect his identity) He's a bit broken when the story starts, so it's quite heart breaking to jump into the story at this point. Still, there's that glimmer of hope in knowing how these Turtles operate. We know Ronin will pick himself up eventually, but how??

Once again the artwork perfectly complements the story, and I was equally as invested in this single as I was reading the collected edition of The Last Ronin. This is a story that has been brilliantly planned and crafted, and there is a real emotional investment from the very first page.

Really enjoyed the look back, though I'm still waiting for more from the next gen.

So great to be back in this world again. This was a great start, and I’m really excited at the prospect of a new generation of turtles.

Desde luego, The Last Ronin ha sido un gran regalo para esta franquicia y personajes. Y de hecho un gran éxito comercial. Tanto es así que no hemos tardado apenas ni un año en tener otra miniserie derivada. Con un pequeño vistazo al presente que dejamos al final de The Last Ronin (y que parecen dejar claro que de esto también tendremos continuación), este The Lost Years viene a revelar totalmente lo que nos dejó entrever los pasajes ilustrados por Eastman en la anterior miniserie. El camino de cómo Michelangelo se redefine a sí mismo tras el fatal desenlace de su familia que bien podría ofrecernos una enorme revelación. Así que es inevitable estar al tanto de esta The Lost Years.

There’s almost nothing I could say about this issue that wouldn’t be a spoiler. But I’ve been looking forward to reading and I was not at all disappointed. I highly recommend for anyone who was a fan of the first “Last Ronin” series. This book is off to a great start on ever level.

A midquel and a sequel mashed into one book? I guess I'm down. Hopefully the adventures we go on here are fun enough to hold my interest. This issue was a decent start.
