The teenage mutant ninja turtles have wonderful thing going
on, a steady series. The original Eastman and Laird comic began in the 80’s.
Since then the Turtles have had a tv show, comic, and movie in every decade.
Every generation since the 80s have been exposed to turtles which is why most
people are familiar with them. That’s pretty big accomplishment for characters
that aren’t licensed to a major comic company like DC or Marvel. The creators
still hold the rights to turtles so they have their name on everything.
Thanks to the current deal with Nickelodeon Viacom the
turtles now have an annual comic. The TMNT annual is written and drawn by Kevin
Eastman. It looks like a piece of the original comic, I still can’t believe
that it’s a new issue from 2012. It’s been 28 years since the first comic and
we get the new annual comic. There’s something about seeing the family-friendly
Nickelodeon’s logo on the inside cover of a gritty comic complete with blood
stained katanas that makes me happy. It was nice to relive the turtles again
and 2013 can’t come soon enough, maybe Laird will write this time.
