-I had to double take on some pages because I asked myself -did that just happen?- The art is darker than most pages and there are characters familiar to TMNT over the TV shows and the movies as well as references to other characters not seen yet which fans would enjoy. The scenes are darker and grittier that previously seen books and the action scenes are flawless.- - Shane Tydeman, Comic Crusaders. -TMNT Universe is a chip off the old block, but one with its own sense of humor to boot.- - Jesse Schedeen, IGN
