The latest installment in the TMNT: The Last Ronin series, The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution #1 is a thrilling continuation of the epic saga written by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz with artwork by Esau Escorza, Issac Escorza, and Ben Bishop. Witness the rise of the next generation of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles as they fight to restore peace to the streets they live below!

More than a decade after the Last Ronin defeated the Foot Clan, New York City finds itself in a state of steady decline. Now, the disparate gangs vie for economic and political control and that the chaos is taking its toll. It’s clear to Casey Marie that if something isn’t done soon, the city she knows and loves will be lost forever. So, whether they’re ready or not, she and her young pupils must raise a new coalition and lead the charge to keep the peace.

Casey Marie takes center stage as she mentors her young pupils and prepares them for the challenges ahead. Readers get an intimate look at each character’s motivations, fears, and strengths as they navigate through a world filled with danger and uncertainty. The relationships between characters are complex and nuanced, adding layers of depth to an already rich storyline.

As New York City struggles under the weight of corruption and greed it is nice to see the new group of turtles take the mantle from the turtles we all grew up loving. The debut issue is action packed with Casey Marie kicking some serious ass, proving she is a force in which to be reckoned.

While the Escorza brothers are talented artists in their own right, Ben Bishop’s artwork through the middle section of The Last Ronin II #1 is nothing short of spectacular. His ability to draw the turtles is up their with the greats.

TMNT: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution #1 is a wonderful addition to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise. With its compelling storyline, dynamic artwork, and unforgettable characters, this comic book offers an exciting glimpse into a future where new heroes rise to take on threats.

TMNT: The Last Ronin II – Re-Evolution #1 hits shelves at local comic shops on March 13, 2024 from IDW Publishing.
