The History of the TMNT in Japan (a research essay)

Reading through the scans Adam sent me, the thing is actually... pretty damn hilarious. I'm really impressed. Whit's death actually had me laughing out loud.

And the comic is only vaguely like the movie. It hits the same necessary plot points, but everything in-between is 100% different.

Though I don't typically care for manga-style, the art and layouts are VERY dynamic and there's a tremendous energy throughout the whole volume. There's a scene near the end where all four Turtles have to jump off the roof of Norinaga's castle to catch the time sceptre and the way the action is laid out is fantastic.

Still, I've got to do Super Turtles Vol. 3 first before I can get to this. Maybe I should get on that...
