Amazing!
Great story and definitely worth it if you can pick it up on sale. This book is a little pricy if not on sale, but it is a great deal if you ever find it on sale! The story is great, the art is amazing, the book itself is pretty sturdy, and itâs a nice addition on the shelf for collectors!

This got me hooked and now buying all Turtle Comics!
This will bring you back and the story is amazing! The originals were amazing with some top notch story telling. Very dark compared to the newer ones but so good and very much worth it. I love the old black and white style. Black, White and Green brought back the old black and white look a little bit but this art style is severely underrated!You will be hooked and want to buy them all if you are a Turtle fan!
SMJ “The Bat” –
Deserves a 6-star rating. A true masterpiece in a sea of faux modern “masterpieces”.
TLDR: Do yourself a favor – if you’re planning to get this book, stop thinking, and just get it.For maximum enjoyment, go in blind, as in don’t search for “last ronin” online, especially on sites like Youtube as you’ll be riddled with spoilers in the form of suggested videos. Avoid reading the description of the other Last Ronin books like the “Lost Years”. Some genius decided to spoil who the last ronin is in the book’s description of “Lost Years”…grr. Even if you’re spoiled, or new to the series, I swear you’re still going to appreciate the story, it’s that darn good. Oh, it’s also a perfectly self-contained story presented in its entirety here. (The series does continue in its own multiverse aka Ronin-verse, but I’m not as invested.)Longer version:I’m still in awe that this came out in 2022. Everything in pop culture since 2012-ish has been lazy, and/or lackluster at best, but the critics can’t stop celebrating them despite the mediocrity of those “masterpieces”.If you’re a TMNT fan in any capacity, or a fan of comics at all, this is a necessary read. I grew up with the 80s cartoons, played video games, and absolutely love the 2003 + 2012 animated series. Back to the book, the plot is so powerful and poignant that I was almost in tears toward the end. (That’s when I realized this is a timeless piece, a work of art.) I’ll be proud to own this impeccable piece on an “ultra-sized” hardcover format a la DC’s Absolute/Marvel’s Gallery with extras + variant covers if IDW makes it available.Thoughts on the story:Well-done Eastman, Laird, Waltz, and team, you killed it! I read it in one setting ~2 hours, which NEVER happens these days. I’ve been having attention issues, and I can barely read something for over 45 minutes without getting distracted. To conclude, call it (minor) criticism, or call it nitpick: the main villain could’ve used a bit more characterization.Build details of this edition:Format: Hardcover. (Oversized; sized like a DC deluxe edition.)Binding: Sewn and sturdy. Made in China.Pages: Thick paper, slightly glossy.Gutter loss: Little to none.Slipcover: NoneDust jacket: NonePackaging:Usual Amazon shenanigans – meaning getting a book in mint/near mint condition is a miracle. I did return the first copy, because it had many tiny dents, and some nicks.

Trying not to cry at the ending
Really good, you should read it. Itâs a very deep and emotionally charged story that will leave an impact. Especially if you have nostalgia for the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

COWABUNGA!
This is one shell of a book.I’m gonna start with the only 2 downsides I’ve had:1. No issue 8 ð Not a dealbreaker in any way, but this is an excellent and beloved issue. I understand why it is the way it is with Simms, but it still sucks.2. This won’t bother a lot of people, but I wish this had the commentary by Eastman and Laird like the Ultimate B&W do.On to the positives;It’s a beautiful book, looks amazing on the shelf, and it feels very well put together (but feels very lightweight compared to how it looks!)This thing is huge! 22 issues in one book?! Insanity!The issues in this book are absolutely iconic. The one shots in particular are legendary in my book. This is where it all began and it utterly exudes personality in every issue.If you have not read these comics before and you’re looking to get started, this is 100% the place to start if you don’t mind the form factor. If you’re a hardcore fan, this is a no brainer. It’s made well, has so much content and that content is all sublime.(The Compendium and Last Ronin review pages are mixed together as of now, so if you see this while looking for Last Ronin reviews, buy that, that’s a good one too lol)

An awesome game changer for TMNT!
The story took me by surprise and Mikey’s character arc was heartfelt and tragic. I’m glad they chose him to build more character out of and the direction they took was well played. This is a well written change of tone and I enjoyed it!

El arte, la historia, todo simplemente espectacular. Un must desde dos-mil-siempre

This was so good even though it kind of bookended a lot of things it was extremely well written. And I always hope for more Ninja turtle lore and stories

Bom meus amigos, quando fui comprar notei muitas reclamações quanto ao tempo de entrega e quanto danos na capa do produto e não obtive nenhuma informação sobre taxacao(estava muito preocupado) *produto não foi taxado(só taxa em compras de 50 dólares pra cima *o produto chegou no tempo certo(chegou antes na verdade) *o produto veio intacto, sem amassados, ou cortes nem nada do tipo(imagino que seja culpa da transportadora e não do vendedor…)-em suma, vale muito apena comprar, fora que é uma leitura muito agradável.-para quem não domina fortemente o inglês, a leitura é totalmente tranquila e agradável, mas também um Google tradutor do lado para pegar as palavras que não conhecer.

Très bon comic. Je recommande au fans des Tortues Ninja, c’est une histoire plus sérieuse avec de très bon dessins et une belle (mais triste) conclusion. C’est un must-have.
