REVIEW: TMNT ISSUE 1

The long-awaited issue one of TMNT is here and I can tell you it was worth the wait. Jason Aaron starts with Raphael. He is all alone without his brothers to be found. We know Raphael’s personality and how he likes to deal with things and that all comes out in this issue.

Joelle Jones is amazing in the art. There is a lot of action and she captures it so well. It’s not just the action scenes that make this story come to life. Here ability to share the emotion, rage, and anger of Raphael throughout this issue is amazing.

There is a lot that happens in issue one I do not want to spoil here, but if you are a fan of the turtles, you are in for a treat!!!

The colors were just as important and really compliments the art of Joelle. Her art style with Ronda Pattison on colors provides that muted and not overbearing colors that allow Joelle to provide such detail in every scene.

Shawn Lee is on letters which should be enough said. Veteran letterer for TMNT has all the right placement and provides the right flow for the reader.

This was a great team on this first issue.
