Tales of the TMNT # 36 Review
This Review was submitted by Spidey:
Writer: Tristan Jones
Artists: Paul Harmon
This issue follows the events of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Vol.1 issues 50-62 - The City at War Saga, one of the better stories in the Original TMNT run. It was nice to revisit this story line years later with a different perspective and a new story to the chapter. This story is told from the perspective of the cops that had to figure out what the hell was going on with all these Ninja running around town killing Gangs. One of the best moments in this issue is where the cops have detained a surviving Foot Clan Member from one of their bloody battles with a local gang. Before he can give any information the Foot Clan infiltrates the NYPD, silences their own Ninja, and wipes out pretty much the entire NYPD. This issue is heavy on the Action with the well balanced Turtle Humor and lots of bloody Ninja Action. The Turtles kick lots of Ass as usual and offers up some really great action scenes.
Tristan Jones delivers a well written strong story; I hope he writes more issues in the future. Paul Harmon offers up some great art that was something new, easy on the eyes and fits the Turtles really well, I look forward to more of his art. For new readers jumping on this issue will come as a little confusing, but if you’re interested in getting into the Turtles, Tales of the TMNT is a perfect series for newcomers. A+
Who doesn't love the fucking turtles. I didn't know they were reprinting these man. fuck I got to find them now.
Actually this is a new Series, unfortunately they haven't started Reprinting the Old issues. Tales of the TMNT Vol.1 is being Reprinted though. This new series is Fun, the only problem is they have a limited Print so finding these Issues may be hard to do. I'll see if I can find you some links or something.

Oh Wow! Tristan actually read my Review? And Liked it?! :D I feel so honored!
Thank You very Much!
I'm definetely going to check this out. Turtles is the reason I started buying comics back in the mid 80s. Eastman and Laird should come back and do some things too.
Okay, this will be a long post. Kevin Eastman sadly does not work for Mirage anymore, He sold his creative share to Peter Laird. This means although Kevin still gets his Royalties, he can't say "do this or that" The only thing he could do is maybe Draw an issue. He has no control of where the series goes anymore. Peter was writing Volume 4, but that has been on Hiatus since the new movie came out, lots of fans are wondering if he'll continue. I'd love to see Kevin come back, his Pencils are the best and He is one of my favorite artists today. He is currently Running Heavy Metal Magazine, which he owns and writes stories for it, which is good for him.
