This was a great one. I loved the inclusion of the Universe stories. They really expand the lore and supplement the main arcs well. It feels like the overall narrative is paused, which would typically annoy me, but in this case, it’s a well placed breather. I’m still really enjoying this world. Can’t wait for more Turtle drama.
Not as great as the other volumes.I'd say 3.5 stars, bit rounded up for some of the great stories in this one.

The Bebop and Rocksteady story was a fun break from the more serious main plot where dangers are once again ramping up.
A surprisingly fun read compared to the last omnibus! Most of that is due to 2 stories with *very* different tones. Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything is a time travel action/comedy of Bebop and Rocksteady just looking for a gang to join and nearly destroying all of space and time in the process. It reminded of all the crazy, stupid, inconsistent time travel shenanigans that went on in old Flash stories that made me *DESPISE* time travel as a concept.Here's why I still like Bebop & Rocksteady...
Still some original ideas, but not as exciting. This one had some multiverse adventures with Bebop and Rocksteady.
This master volume is a little different in that it's only 2 issues of the ongoing series along with Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything and TMNT Universe which is an anthology title for different creators to come in and tell stories set in the TMNT universe. One of the original issues, #65, is a Christmas issue and one of the best TMNT issues to date.My reviews for the smaller collections contained in this:Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything ★★Teenage Mutant Ni...
This is an entry into the series you can skip like an anchovy-pineapple pizza. All filler side stories that don’t really progress the main storyline. That was mostly jarring as well.
At times like these the Turtles, basketball and the Grateful Dead are what keep me going. I have been obsessed with the Turtles since I was a kid (Michelangelo forever) and this was a perfect escape from the corona, trumpism, and all the other shir going on in the world. If you are into comics/graphic novels along with being a child of the 80s/90s I would recommend
A fun side trip through the TMNT Universe that fleshes everything out, even if it doesn't move much forward.This volume is a strange collection of stories. There are only two issues from the main TMNT series included here. Otherwise it's mostly stuff from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe, Vol. 1: The War to Come. The Universe series had a bunch of different stories spread out over multiple issues. This collects those stories together in a way that's much more satisfying than the original re...
Once Bebop and Rocksteady's story got going and wrapped up, this volume really becomes great. Volume 7 was an incredibly grim affair from start to finish so it was inevitable that 8 would balance that out with some lighter stories: namely a Christmas party and the return of dino pet pepperoni. But it's IDW so it still has its gut-wrenching moments - the panels of Raphael reflecting on his abandonment stating "I was alone" was a gutpunch, and Donnie's trauma is also revisited. That's what this se...
Starts out with Bebop and Rocksteady Destroy Everything which is a wild romp through time that exemplifies why fans love the duo. They are big tough dummies who love each other in their own big dumb goofy ways. We also have the debut of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Universe" spin off series which... I am not exactly sure why it exsits(existed?) Not that it is not good, it IS good, it just seems like you didn't need a side series to go through the plotlines it has. It seems like they could have
Easily the worst collection in this series so far. Bebop and Rocksteady Destroy Everything was cheesy nonsense and the TMNT Universe stuff was very hit or miss (The War to Come and Metalhead 2.0 were the only passably readable ones.) Overall, a massive disappointment after the last book.
I hate to say it but most of this collection - primarily side stories with a dozen different creative teams - is just... not great. The Sophie Campbell issues are the only great part.
A fair amount of fun to be had here
I wanted to rate this as 3.5 stars.I felt the first half of the book was a tough read.I love time travel and would have thought bebop and rocksteady destroy everything to contains a recipe for all things I love.This proved not to be the case. I understand it’s supposed to be a chaotic roller coaster ride of fun, mayhem and paradoxes. The presentation is what turned me off.It’s akin to watching an action movie and there is a chaotic fight scene and to aid in helping the audience feel this, the di...
More a collection of short stories that don’t push the main story forward. Some great ones ( (view spoiler)[War to come and Metalhead 2.0 (hide spoiler)] ), but most I didn’t care about all that much. Conflicted to score this. Let's make it 3.5 stars rounding down as unfortunately it's a decrease in quality of what we are used to by now.
What a good book. Read it!
With every volume of this collectors edition I read, I fall more and more in love with the turtles. I can't wait for the next one.
