Great story bad art...it's a shame really I really want to like lawsons art and as always I'm going to say it again.
They need to stop having people who do thick borderline inking on his art work his art looks best when the inking is done thin.
I don't know if this comic was rushed just like the movie adaptation was but it really seems as if it was this has got to be some of Jim's sloppiest work I think I've ever seen.
I'm used to just the humans looking odd We have one Human Max Winters shown on page 23 and he looks better than what we usually see from him human wise but that's one panel out of an entire comic book.
I think the reason I get so disappointed is because I know Jim is a great artist and writer at that.
I finally just got all of his Bade Biker and Orson comics and those blow this steaming pile out of the water any day.
While I'll give him that the fact that this comic is more detailed than the usual we get from the volume 4 comics it would seem to me that the detailing is out of place if anyone can understand that comment.
I really don't know if everything comes as so off set to me because we have 4 people inking this one mans art but it very well could hold true.
I don't think anyone can ink Jim Lawsons art better than himself the only person in my opinion that ever came close was Michael Dooney during City At War.
My favorite panels in this comic would have to be the towers on pages 6 and 7 they are both really well done.
I also like top panel on page 8 I think that has to be some of the best art concerning Jim Lawson that I've seen in years!
I like the idea and the detail in the surroundings of pages 16-17 but the characters within the surroundings are really lacking in my opinion.
Pages 21, 23, & 26 both have very nice building art again but this isn't the teenage mutant ninja building comic is it?
OK and I know I can't be the only who said what the hell? When the Vampire Said "Damn You!" and then a few pages later was speaking some alien tongue no one could understand.
But like I said at the start of all of this The art isn't so hot but I really enjoyed the story sort of how I am with Vol. 4

I agree Lawson's art in Donatello (especially the heads/mouths) was spotty on certain pages, but I still prefer it over the art found in Raphael. It just blows chunks, through and through.
