Last Ronin; My First TMNT Graphic Novel

5 stars

I guess this was quite the way to get introduced to the TMNT Graphic Novels instead of the early 90s cartoon and the absolutely peerless 1990 film.

I loved seeing the final epiphany of the Last Ronin written in the notebook. A poignant way to try and set the next generation on the right path and to avoid the suffering that came before.
