The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES COLOR CLASSICS #3 from IDW Publishing. The story
and pencils are by Peter Laird, with inks by Jim Lawson, colors by Tom Smith’s
Scorpion Studios, and lettering is by Steve Lavigne. The story was originally
published by Mirage Studios as TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES #15
Casey Jones, Raphael and Michaelangelo are in a comic
book store checking out back issues when they are suddenly attacked by little
robots. To their amazement, our heroes are aided by the store owner and
stocker, who turn out to be former members of the super hero team The Justice
Force. The guys find out that The Justice Force’s old nemesis Dr. Dome is
behind the attack, and the team must reform to take him down. The Turtles and
Casey offer to help The Force, but why after all of this time has Dr. Dome reappeared
to destroy his long-since retired enemies?
This story is action packed and fun with a little humor;
a total blast to read. It's great to see
the classic tales reprinted, but still not sure why to color the art. At any
rate, this is a total get for TMNT fans young and old.
TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES COLOR CLASSICS #3 is in
stores now, or available to order at www.IDWPublishing.com.
