review:

'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Utrom Empire' mostly takes place among the bad guys. The turtles take a supporting role, which you could get from the cover. My review copy was only about 2/3 of the entire graphic novel, so this review is only for the first part of this book.



Fugitoid is back and he wants to take down Krang's Technodrome. Before Fugitoid can get too far, he is captured and finds himself face to, er, face with Baxter Stockman. Fugitoid is a little concerned because he betrayed Baxter the last time they met, but this time around Baxter doesn't seem to remember him. Baxter also has his own plans for the Technodrome, so he and Fugitoid team up. This all happens among flashbacks about Krang on his home planet Utrom. There are cool mutated dinosaurs that start a rebellion. Back on Earth, the turtles finally look at Fugitoid's notebook, and realize they have to also destroy the Technodrome.



It was okay. I've read more interesting Turtle books lately, and I always prefer a turtle story to most with the bad guys, but Fugitoid is cool, and it's always fun to see Baxter and Krang trying to undermine each other. The Krang backstory was okay, but I tended to like the rest of it better. The art was pretty good.



I was given a review copy of this graphic novel by Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
