In a world of reboots and relaunches, another gets a new look. IDW Publishing has revamped Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for a new generation. This past week they launched issue #1 of their new series.<\/p>\n

IDW has had a strong track record with their library of licensed comic titles. This library includes GI Joe, Transformers, Ghost Busters, and Star Trek. So given that, I had higher expectations than usual with a comic book.<\/p>\n

I can gladly say that those expectations were met and then some. TMNT #1 was a very good book. The artwork is superb and original TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman is the head writer on this book. It is not a light cartoony book. This book harkens back to the old days of TMNT comics and looks to take a darker, more serious tone.<\/p>\n

The story of the first book sees our heroes (minus Raphael) and Splinter battling a gang of thugs. The fight is overlayed with a monologue from Splinter that flows very nicely with the action being presented. Also mixed in are flashbacks telling the turtles origin. This is a very different origin than we are used to. They are still exposed to the ooze, but the circumstances are different, but I won\u2019t say anything further. Go buy the book to see the details.<\/p>\n

The book ends focusing on Raphael. He\u2019s in a bit of a brooding mood and he finds himself a fight.<\/p>\n

This was a great way to introduce the book and I am looking forward to next month\u2019s issue. go out and get yourself a copy. This one looks like it will be worth reading monthly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
