Other than the fact that some of the fighting seemed stiff, I disagree. Leo had trouble and was trying to get away, and the foot ninja's got some good shots and even took him down. Of course once he went into rage mode he started owning them which is fine cuz that's what he does.
The "interrogation" was silly, but it's understandable, he didn't know any better. Foolish, but understandable. Besides at the end they were just leading hime to scar-face, where he thoroughly got his ass beat.
I liked the art and the fact that at the end of it you knew Leo just faced about 4 dozen Foot ninjas.
This was my favorite Micro book, followed by the Raph one. And the Splinter one coming up next? awesome. Well done IDW, well done.
