COWABUNGA DUDES AND DUDETTES!

Talk about a complete blast from the past! This little gem was such an adorable little throwback to my childhood and I suggest you check it out!

I was a casual TMNT fan back in the 80s-90s so I frequently interrupted my husband (who watched all of the animated series) asking him, “Was the Rhino guy in the original stories?” “What’s the beef between Shredder and Splinter?” “Has Raphael always been this much of a buzz kill???”

The first two stories are related and take place as you would recognize any comic book. The second half of the book is a group of shorts, which was great! Love all the different art and stories.

Here are a few parts you’ll love:

-Egg beater mutagen tracker - because, what else?
-The chicken, Dr. Cluckingsworth, make the cookoos in Zelda look tame thanks to the Zoo-Diac
-So moralistic - Shredder starts out wounded and the TMNT have to make the choice not to take him out
-“Success often depends on depending on others” - aw, love team books
-“They're tears of hunger-joy" (that's how I feel about pizza, too, Michaelangelo)
-Cassette tape relics. Kids these days will never understand!

My favorite story is the one where Mikey writes a comic. So adorable. Settle in with some pizza and take a trip through NY (sewers) with some turtles with ‘tude!

***Thank you to DC and NetGalley for a copy of TMNT:AA in exchange for my honest review. Who knew I'd enjoy this comic so much?!
