Review - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time


It looks like it was the year of the TMNT franchise with this summer's blockbuster Michael Bay-produced reboot and the third season launch of Nickelodeon's animated series. It feels like 1990 all over again!

Being released this month is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time from IDW Publishing, featuring all 4 issues of the 2014 mini-series. Following a similar storyline of TMNT III (1993), Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello and Raphael finds themselves being tossed about throughout time. They first arrive in prehistoric times and battle a few reptiles that are much bigger then them. Then the four brothers arrive in the Feudal Japan era where the battle Shredder (again). The third issue find the turtles hitting the high seas, where they get tangled up in a pirate adventure. Their last stop is in Manhattan in the not-too-distant future.

I grew up watching the '80s cartoon series and the live-action films, but I only recently became interested in reading the comic books. Turtles in Time is a fun adventure that captures the spirit of the animated series as well as the earlier comic books. Seeing the turtles being tossed about throughout time is just plain fun. Overall, I had a blast reading the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Turtles in Time and I recommend it to other fans.
