The Ninja Turtles will always be a big part of my life. I grew up with them Afterall!

Batman will always be as well.

Putting them together? This is perfecto!

Well not perfect but an exciting combo. James Tynion crafts a pretty fun 3 parter to his trilogy here. We have the turtles start their adventure stuck in Gotham. This leads Batman to find the turtles and almost guide them and befriend them to stop Shredder from taking over Gotham. It's the best part of the book for me, since James really gets the voices down for almost every single character.

The second part isn't as good but still really fun. This time we have Batman stuck in the Turtle's world. This has Bane as the main baddie and while it's fun that the turtles dish out the snarky remarks to Bane, this one just doesn't have the same great pacing and character moments as the first, but I do love Damien and Ralph's moments.

Part 3 is basically a multiverse, combine Batman and Turtles together into one big universe. It's crazy weird at first, even bringing in the original TMNT characters (Black and White comic version baby!) that result in some really fun moments but the pacing and villains are the least interesting part of this one.

Overall not a perfect collection but at worst, fun, at best, SUPER fun. And sometimes I just wanna sit back and chill and read some fun fucking comics and smile. This delivered there. A 3.5 I'll bump it to a 4 here.


Oliver don't give a fuck what side anyone is on, don't mess with his family.

Okay this one was pretty fun! I liked watching Jimmy be Superman like, also the Imps were kind of adorable in this one. Pretty shocking ending too.

Really liked the reunion turned sour cause we know Ollie still got a plan to help the heroes.

Wow, I'm really digging this 90's moody horror comic that I did not expect at all.

So basically it starts off with Ghost Rider just fucking up some gang members. It's really great to see how violent he can be. The art is still great throughout, and the villain seems fun. Excited to keep going.

Another great issue but honestly at this point, aren't they all?

This was fun cause see MJ get more screentime and she's great in this as is Ben and Jonah. Then we get Peter and Harry teaming up and it's honestly wonderful cause you know the trainwreck that is coming but can't stop reading. I also really enjoyed their villain this issue. Overall very good.

The first half is really solid. Yes, the idea of making Peter infected with a goblin like personality is silly but also love seeing Peter being dark and moody and ready to fuck shit up. Also some great moments from Norman. I know it's only a matter of time before he goes Goblin again but damn I like him as a good guy. The second half is goofy and not nearly as good but it's harmless stupid humor. Overall a decent collection.

Not as bad as Dark Web but holy fuck is this wayyyyy too long and made me wanna fall asleep by the time we got to the 4th issue. Just Spidy going around trying to stop this gang war but the war is happening for such a stupid fucking reason and Spidy teaming up with multiple villains is nonsense. Some good fights but most of this is skippable and you'll miss NOTHING.

Excellent moments filled with Dinah being tender to Clark, and Clark being a true friend. I love this type of sappy shit, give me more. Also happy Bruce always gives me a smile.
