review:
'Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol. 1' by James Tynion IV with art by Freddie Williams bring us a crossover I never thought I'd see. I also thought it was a pretty good one, with art that took me back to some of the early days of the Turtles.
Batman is on the trail of some missing high end scientific equipment. Due to a portal, two very different New Yorks have been linked and Batman is about to run across some strange beings. When he first encounters the Turtles, he thinks they are at odds with his investigation. They aren't sure who he is, but he's got cool gadgets! The Turtles break into the batcave and are impressed (huge batcomputer and a giant T-Rex!). The problem is that the longer they stay in this New York, the more something bad is happening to them. Also, Shredder is in this New York and making the wrong kind of connections with Batman's foes in his bid to rule both worlds.
This was a lot of fun. Tynion makes it work by making Batman a bit lighter and making the Turtles a bit darker, neither of which feels out of character. The arty by Freddie Williams had a kind of Eastman/Laird feel to it which I really liked. I just had a silly grin on my face the whole time I read this. I really enjoyed it.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from DC Entertainment and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
