Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #72

I've said this before, but man, I love being a turt " wait, I mean, if you're not reading Turtles, you're doing yourself a disservice. The entire series is well collected and so easy to start, but I do recommend the beginning. Amazing series, highly recommended! Read Full Review

I'm honestly on the edge of my seat every month waiting for the new TMNT books. They are really knocking it out of the park! If you aren't reading them both, you are really missing out! Read Full Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is the best series you aren't reading as it takes a classic series and gives it a new spin which leads to an entertaining read. Read Full Review

If you are a TMNT fan you will want to pick this up so you can stay "up to date" on the story line and know what is happening when this plot eventually comes back in the fold or just pick up the Raphael cover by Tom Whalen it is worth the price. Read Full Review

Overall I enjoy Wachter's art, but one thing is bugging me this month"Leonardo's swords. They're too damn skinny! It's not a big deal in the end but it rubs me the wrong way when swords look more like toothpicks. Otherwise I stand by what I said last month; Wachter is a spot-on choice for the Pantheon.

Definitely better than the last month, but a compressed series of encounters keep things from really taking off. Read Full Review

That part with Jagwar, Mikey and the umbrella? Priceless! I've enjoyed watching the Pantheon in action, the new artist is great.

This series is plagued with too much dialogue but this issue had some fine moments and great art.

this issue takes quite a while to get moving. Tom Waltz's dialog written for some the characters is pretty painful to read. Waltz really has no idea how to voice Michelangelo. he just comes off sounding forced and cheesy.
i did enjoy some of the action and antics of this issue, but overall it dragged in the beginning and ended up feeling rushed at the end.
i normally do enjoy Dave Wachter's art, but the action sequences in this issue fell flat.
it just wasn't as dynamic as i needed to be for this story.
a shame too, because it could have been great.
