Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #23

City Fall is the most dramatic and tense Turtles story I've read in quite some time. The stakes are high and nobody feels safe. The story is a rollercoaster ride and there is no telling where it's going next. Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #23 is an excellent book that stumbles rarely as it struts its stuff all the way to some potent praise from this reviewer. Highly recommended. Read Full Review

The early juxtaposition of Leonardo and Casey is well-handled. Casey's story offers more insight for April into her friend's relationship with Angel, and Leonardo's story (which includes a cameo from a concerned Karai) offers serious repercussions for the Turtles and the rest of the city. Must-read. Read Full Review

Tom Waltz, Kevin Eastman and everyone else clearly know what they're doing when it comes to TMNT's first big event and they're doing it masterfully. The first chapter lured us in with gorgeous visuals, fun action and a jaw-dropping cliffhanger. Now, the second chapter slows things down a tad to focus on moving all of the key pieces into place and once again delivers some great visuals as multiple TMNT artists provide some awesome pages. The momentum is quickly building up and by the time I finished the final page, I was insanely anxious to read the next issue. Despite being only two chapters in, I can say with full confidence that 'City Fall' is a must read for any TMNT fan. Read Full Review

Another solid effort from all involved, although the issue takes a few liberties in getting where it needs to go, undermining the credibility of some of the characters in the process. Read Full Review

So far, City Fall hasnt been perfect, but its still entertaining. Its going to be interesting to see where they take this and how much (if at all) this story will impact the Turtles. If anything, an evil Leonardo has a certain ring to it. Read Full Review

Love the way the title of the comic is displayed in this arc it's a noticeable nice touch. The collaboration of incredible artists is a real treat here and seeing Leo fall to the black magic brainwashing through a series of Hugh caliber art was alot of fun. Not a ton happens here but it's beautiful non the less

as much as i love this series, this issue never quite sat right with me. i felt Leo's (for lack of a better term) 'journey towards the Dark Side' just seemed WAY too easy, and very out of character!!! there was little to NO resistance! and he seemed to just be acting out a script to serve the plot, rather than a believable character acting out of emotion and having his will bent. the art was nice. it was a pleasant surprise to see all the artists from various story arcs return to illustrate warped versions of the stories they drew. but aside from beautiful art the writing for this issue (sorry to say) kinda sucked.
