Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume 1 - The Review

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection Volume 1 by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird
Wise man say, "Forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza." Truer words have never been spoken. I must have watched the original TMNT movie hundreds of times as a child, and I try to make it a policy to watch it at least once a year on principal. I could probably quote the whole thing from memory, replaying all the visuals in my head. It is not only one of the best film adaptations of a comic book, but it also holds its own with a compelling story that is astonishingly believable. I've always chalked this up to the fact that the film takes itself seriously. This comic book collection is no different in that respect, and aside from a few key differences, this book left me itching to read more.
