Ratings and reviews

Ughhh... 'TMNT: The Last Ronin' is simply a gimmick -who is the remaining turtle- and a tired generic dystopian plot that should have stayed in the 90's. Every tired trope, dialogue, and overused character ideas you've ever seen in popular media the last twenty or more years is consolidated into this story. Even the overall moral of the story is presented as a message you've seen on a bumper sticker ('NO PEACE' changed into 'KNOW PEACE'); just awful and lazy writing. Do yourself a favor and look up who the remaining turtle is to satisfy your curiosity, then use the time you would have spent reading this to go do something else.

Quite possibly the best ending to the TMNT universe I've seen. Great character arcs and great evolution. The story also does a great job of portraying past events, even though it shows the demise of our beloved turtles and master splinter. All In all a must read and definitely a five out of five stars!

A real labour of love from the original creators of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, this comic contains all 5 chapters of The Last Ronin story. It's beautifully drawn, full of action, well written, and I enjoyed every lovingly crafted panel!
