Last Ronin; My First TMNT Graphic Novel

5 stars

I guess this was quite the way to get introduced to the TMNT Graphic Novels instead of the early 90s cartoon and the absolutely peerless 1990 film.

The art is absolutely stellar, the colors and lighting are fantastic. The dialogue and subject material are darker and more down-trodden than I had expected, but this apparently tracks with the original graphic novels.

I loved seeing the final epiphany of the Last Ronin written in the notebook. A poignant way to try and set the next generation on the right path and to avoid the suffering that came before.

5 stars

The art is gorgeous, the lessons bite-sized and easy to understand, but the whole is so profound and healing.

Can not recommend sitting with this in a quiet moment enough.
