Review: “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin” by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laid, Esau, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop and Tom Waltz.

The Ninja Turtles, from their first issue, was always a very passionate work, made by two friends who loved comics and who wanted to pay tribute to the things the works they loved in the eighties. As I said in another review, probably the author whose influence is most evident in the entire turtle saga is Frank Miller. And this comic, written more than 30 years after the original draft, is a kind of Dark Knight Returns but in turtle style: a post-apocalyptic future, a single old turtle and a lot of violence. And the truth is that it works quite well, as a dark comic story without too many pretensions, but also as a tribute to the entire history of the turtles, especially their early period. Although the story is based on a script written by its two creators in the 80s, it is Kevin Eastman who takes charge of the script on this occasion, with the collaboration of Tom Waltz, and leaving the drawing to Esau, Isaac Escorza and Ben Bishop, although Eastman himself draws some pages that have to do with flashbacks or sequences outside the main story. Eastman’s drawing has lost the strength of yesteryear but it still holds up quite well as an alternative style to that offered by other cartoonists, combining homage to Miller with a more modern vibe. <a href="https://medium.com/@paulnopool/review-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-the-last-ronin-by-kevin-eastman-peter-laid-esau-isaac-e8d05fdd79cb">Learn More</a>
