The Comic
Wow. Let me tell you this, these Turtles are brutal. Me likes.
You can definitely tell where the story of the first Turtles movie got its influence. Imagine a more bloody version of the kid friendly movie, and this fits like a glove. As it should, being that it is the first Turtle story.
Its weird because I don't think I have ever read this comic before. Like most, my introduction was with the cartoon years back. I'm glad that I am able to appreciate this comic as an adult, and it definitely helps me understand how this got watered down for a bigger audience.
I'm loving me some Turtles.1
The Art
I like it. You can tell that it is indy rough, these guys were literally cutting their teeth with this comic. But it works really well. I can see how the layouts work well with the current comic that Eastman continues to have an influence over.
The Cover
Its a sketchy colored kind of look. Its nice, but I don't like it too much. The top half is what caught my eye, and I am glad it did.
Grades
Words: 8/10

Recommend: This is definitely something to check out. It is worth the price of admission at $4, but I'll gladly pay it again.
Buy Next Issue: I don't see why not. Unless I can find a collected edition that is all colored up on Amazon for cheaper.
