Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Vol. 1: Return to New York by Jason AaronMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was such a great re-introduction to the Turtles!
They're all split up after the events of the previous run (of which I know nothing, to be honest) and the series begins by showing us what each have been up to. Each has their own chapter, with the eventual reunion coming together as Donnie's position becomes precarious.
I really loved how this was set out, and it was nice for the guys to have their own screen time. It's actually refreshing to see a little hostility - they've all become so focused on their own thing they've forgotten what it means to be brothers.
Artwork is fantastic and complements the story nicely. The turtles each have their own unique look now that kind of reflects what they've been through, and I enjoyed that detail a lot. Poor Donnie!
Overall, this was a really great way to start the new run. I've been reading the monthly singles as well and it's always a long wait for the next month to come along!
Immense fun - TMNT fans should be happy with Aaron's work on this one.
With thanks to Netgalley for an ARC of the collected edition
