I know, I know. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles<\/b>?! If you’re like me you’re probably thinking why would I want to read a comic about a bunch of mutant ninja turtles.<\/p>\n
Well, I could tell you because the book looks great. I could tell you that Rick <\/b>and John<\/b> really outdid themselves on this run. That you can tell that they were jazzin’ off the way their work was coming together. That Rick<\/b> and John<\/b> really make a great team… and I hope that they work together again soon. That I’m ordering the two issues and I have NEVER<\/u> bought a turtle book<\/b> before. I could tell you all of these things and they would be true… but some of you may think, “Aw… Z<\/b>‘s just saying all of these great things because John’<\/b>s his best friend.”<\/p>\n

So… here’s what comic pros<\/b> are saying…<\/p>\n [On a side note, as regular ZONE<\/b> readers know, The Walking Dead<\/b> is my favorite regularly published comic these days. You should check IT out too!]<\/p>\n “Rick<\/b> and John<\/b> have worked hard to give the reader their moneys worth on this TMNT<\/b> extravaganza. Packed with monsters, violence, mysticism<\/b> and incredible detailed artwork, this book has everything but color. But who needs it with pages to be so drenched with blacks and nice grey tones? The Turtles<\/b> are coming back. Sandpaper your fingers and grab on to the shell.” “Another young penciling tyro <\/b>enters the fray. If he weren’t a pal, I’d have to have his fingers busted. Remender is a triple treat! Not content to just be a great inker<\/b>…no, animator<\/b>…no, writer<\/b>…no…wait! That’s four things! Remender<\/b> busts out with some great moody action <\/b>penciling, polished to a fine edge by Mr. Beatty<\/b>‘s crisp inking and toned nicely by Mr. Cohn<\/b>. Good comics<\/b>!” \u201cA true rarity<\/b>\u2026 a meticulously crafted comic that also oozes exuberance<\/b>. These guys are clearly having fun<\/b> with the turtles, and it shows on every page.\u201d So there you have it. Testimonials from pros<\/b>. You’ve seen the preview art<\/b>. You know I’m a fan of Rick Remender<\/b>‘s work. Beatty<\/b> is da man. Now it’s up to you.
