I am kinda bummed Kirai isn't old lady Kirai like seen in Raph's future tales issue but it is nice to see the changes. I also appreciate that Mike is a tad bit crazy lol that spices things up. Sadly I didn't get to enjoy the big "Mikey is Ronin" saved for the last page because to many articles were spoiling it in their titles when it first came out.

A lot seems to happen at the corner of Bleeker and Sullivan. I know its an actual place in Manhattan area of New York. Is there any significance as to why things occur there in The Last Ronin and what is actually at the corner of Bleeker and Sullivan for those of us who have not visited New York City before?

I felt the same way. The artwork didn't help much either.

Has anyone found good mylar bags and boards for this series? It's not so hard to find the very basic ones, but I tend to prefer the slightly thicker bags.

Anyone have any luck?

Hardcover is only $30 on Amazon if you pre-order:

I actually just finished reading all three issues and I like where this is going. I am excited to see how Donatello dies and I wasn't fully surprised to see that Raph was the first one to get knocked off

Would this be big enough to store the Last Ronin mini-series individual issues?

Comics themselves are always 7x10 size. This would definitely not be right for Last Ronin issues. Hope you didn't buy these, at worst you can use them for other comics. I used a magazine bag just to hold all 5 issues eventually. I don't know if a golden age size bags would fit either, Maybe, maybe not. One comic store owner used a magazine board for Last Ronin variant cover but he said he had to trim it too.

That's what I ultimately did. I found five magazine bag and boards in an Ebay auction without having to purchase up to one hundred. It fit for the most part.

According to some ebay sellers, theres gonna be another printing for Last Ronin #1 & #2. Whoah thats 4rth and 3rd prints of the first two issues, sometime in Sept. Unreal IDW's really milking this or there really is demand from the stores and readers. Which I can believe as Ive seen some customers come into comic stores still asking for the issues.
