This is a modern reboot of the classic Eastman/Laird Ninja Turtles comic. They changed things around a bit, but it has a lot of the original spirit of the comic alive in it. I have, however, seen too many reboots of this myth over the years and would have been more interested in a continuation of the classic comic storyline than another re-imagining of the origin story. The art is really nice. The story is okay. But if feels like rewinding the tape and playing it again from the beginning when there's so much more of the story that waits to be explored. As a big fan of the Turtles growing up this comic was a nice refreshing take on their origin story. There were a couple of things that turned me off about it, but I do like that it is different and there is much potential from this point on. First off, the specifics. This is a reboot and it is different than what you'd be used to in TMNT lore. The volume includes four chapters which are the first four issues in this new series. I would recommend getting these by volume versus by issue simply because stand alone issues won't be much to read at one time. I liked the introduction of the villains and how they are being tied into the turtles' origin as well as the debut of a new enemy. The art is pretty neat, but I haven't adjusted to the all red bandannas yet. I do like how it's paying homage to the original comics, although I believe that will change down the road which is better in my opinion.Overall, I enjoyed it but it was simply the origin story. TMNT lore has a lot to offer and I am anticipating what this series will delve into. Good read.- V.
What do You think about Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Volume 1: Change Is Constant (2012)?
Not the traditional story, however, it was a well written variation worth the time!

Great! But the dialogue could definitely use some work.
