4.0 out of 5 stars not yer toddler's turtles, July 11, 2008

By	Josiah (Fairbanks, AK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Bodycount (Paperback)

I can't tell if the other "pop-up" review is an excellent joke, or a stupid mistake. In either case, do a little googling on Kevin Eastman's Bodycount and you'll find that the only things "popping out" in this book are bad guys' eyeballs and babe's bazungas... aka NOT for kids 3 - 6.

The book is a completely different take on the turtles, presented in a hyper-violent, hyper-sexualized style. The art is impressive and is certainly worth the read for a turtle vet who wants to appreciate the full spectrum of the TMNT, from goof to gore (this being of the gore variety). It will certainly wash the candy-coated-cowabunga-cartoon-turtle-taste out of your mouth if anything... plus it's turtle founding father Kevin Eastman's swan-song (or rather swan-rampage) to the TMNT - his last main turtle work before he signed over all the rights to collaborator Peter Laird.

5.0 out of 5 stars Image remakes the turtles, July 10, 2009

By	Dead Pretzel - See all my reviews

This review is from: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Paperback)

Image did a fantastic job with the turtles for the brief time they had them, taking the book to some dark places. The continuing story though out the run is the search for splinter, though along the way we get to see some of out favorite heroes mutilated in ways that force the team dynamics to change. I hope someone eventually releases the rest of the run so we can get to the point where raphael dons the shredder armor and takes over the foot clan.

2.0 out of 5 stars Only for the Completists, December 30, 2008

By	A. Grace (Baltimore, MD) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Bodycount (Paperback)

Buy this book only if you are one of those people that have to have every appearance of the TMNT. Unfortunately I am one of those people and am pretty disapointed with this book.

A previous reviewer mentioned duplicate pages and while that is true...the action is so poorly presented I almost didn't notice. But as a TMNT fan who bought this product as a completist I was most disapointed that Casey Jones and Raphael are afterthoughts that are only bit players. Almost like they are in the way of the story that Eastman wanted to tell. I guess to his credit the story in this form is simply called "Bodycount."

Don't buy this unless you cumpulsively have no choice to.
