Editorial Reviews
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin is a love letter to the roots of the franchise. Whether you've been a shell head since day one or a newer fan following IDW's ongoing series, The Last Ronin hardcover deserves a spot in your comic collection." -CBR
"...a satisfying tale and a worthy companion piece to the original comics." -Publishers Weekly
"One of the most anticipated comics of the year, and the colorful yet dark dystopian story definitely delivers." -Den of Geek, voted by writers and readers as one of the Best Comics of 2021
"Point blank reaction: I enjoyed the hell out of this book. The Last Ronin is an absolute blast." -Graphic Policy
"For TMNT fans this has been a long time coming to see Laird and Eastman back together again. They have surrounded themselves with an all-star team that shares their passion for TMNT storytelling and the end product is nothing short of amazing. Frank Miller has The Dark Knight Returns and now Laird, Eastman, and Waltz have The Last Ronin." -Comic Watch
"What's great about this story is that it truly stands alone. In truth, if you've watched the original live-action TMNT movie, you have all you need to truly appreciate this comic book. And if you've been reading the comic books, watching the television shows and films, and played the games? This story will take you on an emotional rollercoaster." -Newsarama
"It's TMNT by way of The Dark Knight Returns, down to the gritty internal monologues and vaguely cyberpunk aesthetic." -ComicBook.com
"A must-read for both new and old TMNT fans." -Monkeys Fighting Robots
"This book is awesome, if you're a fan of the TMNT you probably already have this on your pull list, and you won't regret it! If you're still not aboard the cowabunga train, I still say pick it up, this story has such an emotional core and deserves to be read."

This story is an emotional roller coaster. I’m not a big comic book fan, but this series was highly recommended to me. I’m glad I listened and made this purchase.

Incredible art and storyline all throughout. The hard cover is ridiculously worth the price! Cried like a baby at the end, no shame.

Growing up in the 80s one of the first things I was ever a fan of was the ninja turtles. As an adult wanting to jump back into the comics I had no idea where to start, but I was lucky enough to find this available for preorder. I’m beyond happy I did. Lots of emotions reading this. I’ve been collecting a lot of graphic novels recently, this one is top shelf and a must read for any fan of the Ninja Turtles.

Great story to have in one hard cover book. I look forward to what they do next in the "Roninverse." Arrived in great shape too.

I was one of the many that had this graphic novel on pre-order. I knew of the story for sometime prior to my order. My title is cliche’, I know but when it comes to this story and when you get to the end you’ll know why. I won’t spoil anything about the story here, I just expect you to truly read the story. There are parts of the book that hurt to read (even though I had known about them) that’s what made this story great though. If you think you’re a true fan and TMNT and this series doesn’t bring you to tears by the end…you’re not a true fan. To Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird, Tom Waltz and the rest of the team, I applaud you for the job well done on this story. Thank you.
