Title: Turtle Power is still a lot of fun.
Review: Originally I ordered this book, along with TMNT Ultimate Collection Vol. 2 on October 5 2012. I did get volume 2 almost immediately, but due to a rather unsavory experience in which the order for Volume 1 was cancelled without my knowledge or permission, I have just recently (FINALLY) had it delivered to my location. Patience is indeed a virtue, and in this case, not giving up, and being tenacious, definitely paid off in the end. Now that I have had a chance to actually read Volume 1; I can finally offer a real review. The very first comic I very purchased was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #2. It was brand new, and in the mid 80's there were MANY animal type heroes hitting the shelves by many great creators like Dave Sim, Stan Sakai, and others.This title stood out. I had forgotten how gritty and good these early original stories were, not having read my old trade paperbacks for years because I was afraid they would not hold up under repeated readings. These original stories are tense, gritty, and violent, with a nice mix of humor thrown in. They started my long time love for comics and I am still collecting today...almost 30 years later.I was thrilled to see the turtles get this type of deluxe treatment. The cover art is great, the inside artwork is reproduced very well, and the annotations by both authors include great stories about creating these characters and meeting with great success. Its also nice to be able to have a book that will stand the test of time so that I can revisit these stories again and again whenever I want to. The pages are a nice thick rugged stock, and the binding is sewn and glued.I am still a fan of the turtles and watch the new cartoon on Nick every week (and think it's also great). Amazon did price this book fairly, and I was happy about that, after seeing a copy at a local comic book store going for $100.00! If you are a long time fan of the turtles, if you want a fairly priced book that is formatted beautifully, and want something sturdy and durable, this book is a great choice. It is a great way to read about the Teenage Mutant Ninja turtles and I would recommend this edition confidently.

Title: Great for first time readers, I'm already addicted!!
Review: Having been a long-time fan of Ninja Turtles in many of its incarnations and in particular the first movie (which I watched dozens of times as a kid), this collection is absolutely great if you're first getting into the comics like me. And also if you're a fan of the first movie, you should know that the comics are even better, particularly if you're a fan of the darker elements.The original comics are amazing, even if it does delve into a bit extreme and sometimes laughable territory (such as when they end up transported to another planet). But they're quite entertaining and addictive regardless of the subject matter, and that's what really counts.What I also love is how they developed each of the Turtles' personalities as time went on. Donatello is always the crafty and technologically-oriented one, Raphael is the angry loner type, Leonardo struggles in many situations to keep them all together, and Michelangelo is of course the comic relief, and I also love how he and Raphael's relationship ends up being close. Raphael becomes quite protective of Michelangelo, even if it is only subtly hinted at in these first issues.Where the movies left a lot of stuff out and changed a lot of things, the comics really expand and tie everything together.I highly recommend this collection for first-time TMNT comic readers. All of the artwork is presented on bigger pages and panels than the originals, which makes it much easier to read and follow along, and the commentary by Peter Laird and Kevin Eastman on each issue is also very interesting and provides greater insight into the conception of the Turtles and the artwork.This is really a must-have for any fan of TMNT, and I can't wait for the second collection to come out in February!!My only complaint is that the book isn't bigger, because there were A LOT of issues in the series, so I just hope they keep putting out these collections or someday create one giant anthology because after reading this, I seriously can't get enough!!

Title: Great product, VERY poor packaging!
Review: The collection is great! The stories and illustrations are all that I was hoping for. Man, I have missed the TMNTs. The packaging from HPB (Half Price Books) was trash! It was that slightly thick plastic that used to cover magazines received in the mail. No box, no padding, no protection. The corners are jacked up and the cover is creased. I get better packaging when I order food from door dash! If you are on the fence about the book, donât wait nits great. But donât order it from HPB through Amazon. They donât care. Get it from Prime. Amazon takes far better care to get the product to you in acceptable condition.

Review: I can say this is my most favorite fiction ever other than ofc Naruto. I have so many good memories of it however I never knew the whole story with this much details. I watched the animation when I was 14 and it became my favorite cartoon right away. Love Donatello and Micky.

Review: Really amazing collection of the first TMNT comics, which really shows why they have become a long lasting global phenomenon.Spectacular art, innovative stories and really interesting commentary from Laird and Eastman into how it all came about and each comic.Would highly recommend for a turtles of veteran or a complete newcomer (my teenage son stole it as soon as I finished it).

Customers say
Customers find the artwork quality great and the drawings crisp and clear. They describe the comic book collection as awesome, spectacular, and a classic. The books have insightful commentary or annotations from the creators themselves. Readers find the books entertaining and addictive, making them great gifts for Turtle fans. However, opinions differ on the color scheme - some appreciate the dark art style while others say it's black and white with no color on the inside pages.
