review:

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: New Animated Adventures, Volume 1 is right out of the new animated series on Nickelodeon. I'm not familiar with the new series, but it's the same wise-cracking turtles looking for ways to fight evil. The difference in this series that was new to me is that April O'Neil is quite a bit younger. Again, it's not a big deal and they have fun making in jokes about her future career.



This graphic novel pulls together four issues from the series. The boys fight some new villains and some familiar ones. Mikey goes crazy after watching a zombie marathon and then spotting what he thinks is one in the streets. Splinter, Krang, Dogpound and Snakeweek show up. Master Splinter seems to be training April in the arts of the ninja as well.



These are 4 standalone issues. Each one tells a complete story with no lead in or continuation in other issues, much like an animated series would be. Obviously, you would need to be a fan since there is no explanation given as to why there are large turtles wielding weapons and eating pizza running around, but we should all be familiar by now, right?



Good writing and art keep it lively and moving along and perfect for young turtle fans.



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.
