Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin

Me and my son are really enjoying this book. Quality craft. Amazing illustrations and great story.

Gripping from beginning to end with fantastic art coming off every page. It doesn’t matter if you’ve never read a TMNT Comic, this brutally charming read is for TMNT fans of all kinds. It wouldn’t be a stretch, to call this book a masterpiece. That’s exactly what it is. Don’t risk having the book spoiled with all your googling, hurry and go read this!

It's freakin' fantastic, the story stabs your nostalgia in the heart with this tale about the final Ninja turtle. I couldn't help but consume the entire thing in one sitting, I may have been permanently banned from that café, but every scrumptious page was worth it. 10/10 art, 10/10 callbacks, 10/10 new characters, the print job is great though the inner papers are a bit glossier than I'd hope, and a breakup between artstyles in story flashbacks that gives the brain ample breaks between layout sequences to digest the narrative comfortably.

I've got to say, as an avid comic book reader that was hooked primarly on DC and Marvel, The Last Ronin is one of the best graphic novels that I have read in a while. Unlike most comic book stories which are just predictable, convoluted and sometimes downright dumb, The Last Ronin is a pretty straightforward, emotional rollecoaster that will make any true TMNT fan cry, even a grown man as myself, with intense action and awesome character development that would make any modern Marvel writer jealous of, this is truly a one of a kind event made for long time TMNT fans that have grown up with this property in any shape or form. I recommend it a 100% for its price, just remember to bring a box of tissues for your tears. :)

I read through this on the very same day it arrived (which if I may add, was on time to the estimated delivery). While some may argue that this is a very dark and depressing comic for the TMNT franchise, which I can't argue with really... I believe the story was very well executed, and this is something I would LOVE to see more of when it comes to the franchise. Acknowledging that being a "hero" isn't as easy or painless as it seems is very important to me in comics and stories like these. The protagonist CAN and WILL get hurt throughout the fights and battles, mentally AND physically. Change happens. Life and death happens. You can't save everyone, you're going to feel pain and regret over the things you witness, maybe even cause. This story told that side incredibly well, and it's definitely something I can appreciate. At times, it did make me want to skim through the text and pages as I felt it went a little slow, but perhaps that was mostly due to my impatience to see what would happen next. Nevertheless, that won't lower my rating on this, because the comic as a whole was way too good for me to rate it any less. It was delivered in one cardboard package, which made me concerned it would arrive in bad shape, but I was happy to see that I received the book in excellent condition. The hardcover design and art looks incredible as well. Yes, I cried going through the last few pages, and I feel no shame over that. This was extremely well done, and you can tell heart and passion was put into it. That is something that deserves my bursting emotions. Genuinely tempted to do an actual video review/essay on this book, because typing this out has made me realize how much I truly have to say about this comic. TLDR: I absolutely recommend giving this comic a read, especially if you're a TMNT fan. HOWEVER, if you're a young fan of the franchise (as I've noticed many nowadays are), or simply not into angsty and emotion-heavy stories, you may want to skip reading this.

Una bella conclusione per il tmnt, un pò dark e con toni seri, ma che chiude l'opera, consigliato

Leitura fantástica. Bem como a arte. Uma história envolvente que nos prende do inicio ao fim. Uma história sobre vingança, honra e destino. Vale a leitura, com toda certeza!
