(A-) 82% | Very GoodNotes: Metaphysical shakeup: symbolism's like makeup too caked-on, but artistically great, and worth a read for eyes' sake.
Superb. Mateus Santolouco's artwork is absolutely amazing. I am surprise that the big two have not acquired this artist yet. Santolouco' s artwork is some the best I have seen in the business of comics. The colors a vivid and breathtaking. This story was riveting from beginning to end. Santoluco writes a juicy story about how true evil can not be buried but it just takes on a new form and still lingers. I think the book does a great job in bringing humanity to the Ninja Turtles greatest lore. Th...
Feeding directly into issue 100 of TMNT, this five issue mini-series puts the Shredder front and centre as he navigates the depths of Hell in order to find out the truth behind Kitsune's manipulations and the battle for his soul that has lasted for all eternity.The idea of this mini-series is very good, and definitely worth expanding on. The execution leaves a bit more to be desired. The plot is paper thin, mostly just an info dump tied around multiple fight scenes, and while Mateus Santolouco's...
Santolouco's art is terrific, his writing can be ambivalent and confusing. Still I liked what they did with Shredder here, tying him throughout history and using the Pantheon to further the story. This series is only for long time readers of IDW's TMNT though. Anyone not familiar with the continuity will likely be lost.
I expected more from this book. I make make no secret about liking the bigger Vader darker TMNT, but I have never really gotten into to comic versions of them. This looked interesting.For me coming into this mini series I really did not know which way was up. Shredder the big bad of TMNT is in hell no more then he deserves, but his dying wish seemed to be of redemption. Now he must battle his way back to the living through hell with his own personal conflicts and people he has killed.I do not mi...
As a story unto itself this isn't as engaging as it could be. I feel for anyone who encounters this collection having not read the lion's share of the IDW series; I imagine they would feel lost most of the time trying to navigate this.It also reads like it's at least an issue too long. Shredder's journey is surprisingly short and then the series just becomes meandering battles and characters making the same grandiose proclamations again and again. What makes this a three star book for me despite...
This was some of the coolest art I’ve seen in a graphic novel in ages. Really fun story if you’ve been reading the current run of TMNT. Lots of references to the mythos and rewarding scenes of seeing Shredder and Splinter work together. Really glad I read it to expand on my enjoyment of the TMNT series.
Here's the deal, I came in cold. I haven't been reading the series. I just really, REALLY liked the title.That being said, I feel like I followed the story well enough and I loved the art.
Absolutely fantastic!
Hell comics areWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIRD!!!!!
Such a beautiful and redemptive piece of a comic. Artwork and writing by Santolouco was fantastic and loved how it made this iconic villain someone to root for.
3.5 Stars.Oroku Saki has died, but his adventure has not ended!This story is all over the place, with Shredder fighting his way to redemption through hell. We get to see part of his past, his connection to Takeshi Tatsuo, and just how bonded he is with the Dragon God. Tons of action, and you definitely find yourself rooting for him...At the end, Kitsune, the love of his life, is able to bond him with the Dragon God fully, and resurrect him. In order for him to return fully to life, he needs the
Spectacular art by Santolouco for a story that I found somewhat interesting but rather repetitive and a tad too long.
Con grandes dibujos de Santoluoco, la historia se extiende en demasía. Habría estado ok en 3 numeros. No sé como irá a funcionar este intento de hacer de Shredder un nuevo Magneto.
