review:
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutanimals' by Paul Allor and with art by Andy Kuhn, doesn't feature the Ninja Turtles at all, but it's in the same universe. It also has mutant animals, some good fighting and other great things.

When someone close to the Mutanimals group gets kidnapped, Old Hob and company try to rescue them. It seems that the Null Group is up to no good. Along the way they rescue a sad creation called Mutagen Man. They also have to deal with the PTSD they all have from being part of animal experiments. Some of them have understandable anger issues, and others use things like humor to cope. They add some new members to their group along the way, and try to figure out a way to stop the Null Group from the things they are trying to do.

It's got all the goofy humor and slambang action we know and love. I liked this wacky group of heroes. I also liked the way they handled the trauma. It was done subtly and gracefully, and it wasn't really something I expected to see in such a book. It's also handled in a way that is kid friendly. It's good to see Old Hob in action, and I wasn't familiar with some of the rest of the group. I was hoping at first to run into the Turtles, but by the end, I hadn't really missed them. Not a bad little read.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors, IDW Publishing, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.
