Kevin Eastman - Born in 1962 in Portland, Maine, Kevin began drawing as soon as he was able to hold a crayon. His discovery of comic books gave meaning to his crazed doodling. When Kevin discovered and studied the work of Jack Kirby, Russ Heath, Richard Corben, Vaughn Bode and John Severin, he began to hone his craft. His first published work appeared in 1980, a year or so before he met Peter Laird. In May 1984, he and Laird published Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1, creating the hit heroes in a half-shell. Eastman co-writes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for IDW and can sometimes be found at the San Diego Comic Art Gallery.

When reboots are done right.
Reviewed in the United States on June 1, 2015
Verified Purchase

On a deserted block a street fight between two sets are taking place. One is led by an adult sized cat by the name of Old Hob, and the other is led by the talking rat Splinter whom is supported by his three Ninja Turtles. The battle is quick and although Splinter's side is victorious. They still leave as failures. -summary

I'm not going to debate whether the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles were in dire need of a full reboot as far as the comic series was concerned. However, I will point out that I knew the comic franchise was in good hands when IDW mentioned they were going to debut the series again. IDW has done a splendid job rebooting classic series like these, that either made it to animated TV or got their start there. This newer take on TMNT definitely feels quite fresh yet familiar at the same time, as it retains the gritty and edgy personality of the Mirage Studio's series. This volume contains issues 1-4.

The plot follows the three Turtles Leonardo, Michelangelo, and Donatello, as they search for Raphael whom has gone missing. Their searches leads them into battles with Old Hob whom harbors a serious grudge against Splinter.

For starters, even if one hates the Ninja Turtles this is still a great series to sink some teeth in. This title is extremely welcoming to newbies of the comic whose only experiences are the animated shows and movies, as it features a new origin and still uses everything that came before as its pool source. Purists will definitely find their interest piqued as it goes on paying homage to the original series in different ways. The series moves at a real good pace keeping a steady dark tone.

The writing is very good at developing the characters personalities and drives, while at the same time keeping the plot interesting and providing background. The issues also works at quite a bit of world building setting things in motion with plenty of potential for great stories.

Visually, this book is shooting for a rugged and gritty feel to capture the dangers of the night time gang life in New York City. It seems as if this is a world meant only for the toughest. The action panels are not as brutal as the original series very first issue, but it does get the job done. There are some nice fisticuffs and maybe one gory moment. The grounded character designs fits properly for the style of the narrative; the use of backgrounds is something that stood out for me also. When it was time for action the static backgrounds helped focus on that, but when it was time to enhance the dark atmosphere, there was just enough detail to get the narrative's themes across.

Overall, I can't recommend this series enough to TMNT fans because since I'm up to date on this title, I can tell people that it does remain interesting and the ride feels worth it. To comic fans, definitely give this a shot because it can stand right beside some of Marvel's and DC's best. TMNT haters, well most of you guys hated the original TV show and some of the movies since they focused a lot more on comedy and not on action. This series blends them both quite well with more of a focus on hard hitting action. This is a comic series that many won't go wrong with trying out.

Pros: Fresh yet familiar take, solid pacing and nice artwork

Cons: May be too dark for those use to the campy feel of original TV series

Growing up as a huge turtle fan I'm surprised it took me this long to check out the comic. Volume one contains Issues 1-4 and it's basically a rehash of the Turtles' origin story, the only difference is that this "reboot" is done from at least one of the original creators so there is enough in this story that feels like a new twist, and definitely real world problems that suck you into caring about these characters.

The most surprising character for me was what happened with Casey Jones. They introduce his and Raph's buddy relationship really well and natural, to the point that I can't wait to see how April finds the turtles. For fans of the turtles, this is definitely a must own. The origin is still pretty much the same, but there is enough set up, and new spins on this well known origin that it felt like I was reading a new story that I once lost. It was a blast to read and the only negative thing I can say about this is the fact that it had to end. I had to get to the last page. And now I have to order volume 2!

Tons of nostalgia for old school fans like me and plenty of new material for a new generation of TMNT fans. I loved every page of this book. It brought back so many good memories that I had to dig around in my closet for old issues from when I was a kid. I definitely want to read more. I think old school fans will love this. The art style feels familiar as well as parts of the story, but I was enthralled and couldn't help turning the pages until I was done with the book.

First and foremost, I was born in '82 so I Grew Up on TMNT from a young age! I had almost every TMNT action figure ever made as well as a vhs cartoon collction and all the TMNT movies. That being said, my favorite TMNT realm was the comics! I had a collection of Eastman & Laird turtles as well as 90% of the Archie Comics TMNT Adventures comics from the start of the series to the end.
I remember hearing about a new series of TMNT by some publisher id never heard of, IDW comics, and didn't give it a second thought as most comics series of the 2ks just didn't have the excitement, art or good read I remembered from the 80s and 90s. So I went on about my way restocking my collections of older comics without giving it a chance.
When I saw this TPB on amazon.com and say the price (12$ and some change) I figured "why not", I had recently filled my collection with several Halo TPBs and was extremely inpressed, so I gave TMNT a shot and all I can say is "WOW"!! I order volume 1, 2, 3 and my mind was blown! The new reboot, and I'm extremely critical of reboots of orgins and characters I know and love from my childhood, was amazing! The story line and plots are Grade A! The art and ink is Phenominal! So impressed, and the Only thing I'm dissapointed in is that Volume 4 doesn't come out until Jan, and Volume 5 not until May!
So to ANYONE wanting to re-explore TMNT as well as new fans alike, you Will Not be dissapointed! Please check out this series! 5 star recommended from a true and tried TMNT fan for over 27 yrs+!

Great restart
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on July 17, 2021

This is a great reboot. Reverts to some of the original style while telling an origin story that has the benefit of knowing some components that will become key later on. The original beginning was still finding its feet and working out what the turtles would grow into; here the seeds are already there and there’s a greater feeling of a larger story. If you haven’t tried TMNT before here is a great place to start. Art style is reminiscent of the original whilst being a bit sharper and the story has some of the grit of the originals whilst having more defined characters. I look forward to reading the rest.

現在新シリーズとして放送しているニコロデオンのタートルズとは違い、IDWから漫画として出版されている全く違う話です。
ニコロデオンとは違い結構重い話となっています。描写も結構グロく、血なども普通に出てきます。
原作、新亀、CG映画のようなシリアスな話が好きな人におすすめです。
逆にタートルズはギャグじゃないと嫌という人にはおすすめできないです。
もちろん中身は英語ですが、絵があるため文字が読めなくても大体はわかると思います。
ただ新規の方がこれを読むのは少々難しいと思います。新亀を何話か見てハマったら読んでみるといいと思います。
ファンの方にはぜひ読んでもらいたいです。設定が色々違って面白いですよ。
