The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of BATMAN/TEENAGE
MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ADVENTURES #1 from IDW Publishing and DC Comics. The story
is by Matthew Manning, with art by Jon Sommariva, inks by Sean Parsons, colors by
Leonardo Ito, and letters by Shawn Lee.
The Turtles return from their nightly patrol to discover
that a portal has been used nearby. Our heroes investigate, but run into someone
they did not expect. Meanwhile, Batman is investigating the disappearance by
several of his enemies from Arkham Asylum. But where in the world are they? Or
the question should be which world are they? How did they get there? Who is
behind this? So many questions with no answers…yet. The mystery begins.
Matthew Manning nails it with this script. He’s able to introduce
the characters, develop the mystery, delivers on the action and makes it fun. Sommariva, Parsons, and Ito do a perfect job
of melding the styles of the two unique looks of the animated series and make
it look like it was meant to be. This was a fun read and can’t wait for the
next issue. Pick it up!
BATMAN/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES ADVENTURES #1 is in
stores now or available at www.IDWPublishing.com.
