Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Ultimate Collection, Volume 5 by Kevin Eastman, Peter Laird
3.0
Perhaps it's a case of diminishing returns, but after enjoying Vol. 4 of this series, I grabbed this book from the library and felt the result was so-so. There's little wrong with it; there's just nothing particularly special about it. It remains to be seen if the moral compromise made the the Turtles will come back to bite them. April and Casey come back together by happenstance, after their attempts to "move on" end predictably. The art has some effective storytelling and detail work, but the anatomy is stiff and ungainly. Again, it's all perfectly fine, but it felt drawn out at times - I felt this story could've unfolded in half the space, resulting in a punchier, more emotional journey.
