  This entire creative team has created an authentic TMNT story that true fans will enjoy. It provides so much detail into their new backstory that even new readers of TMNT will find enjoyment in this run. This issue is the conclusion of the mini-series, leaving issue nineteen wide open for an epilogue story. I say that because issue twenty is going to be the start of a new story! Issue twenty will also be the three-hundredth issue of TMNT! Exciting times for TMNT fans as well as new readers! Read Full Review
