TMNT: THE LAST RONIN II - RE-EVOLUTION #2

June 2024

By Tom Waltz, Kevin Eastman , Esau & Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, Luis Antonio Delgado, and Shawn Lee.

Odyn goes through a health scare, as the city gets in more trouble.

SCORE: 7

Boy, do I have things to say...

I don't know why the pacing is always a problem with "The Last Ronin." The people involved are all pros, yet, they continue to make the oddest decisions. And I understand the why... but the results are just amateurish, if I may say so.

Let's start with how this mini is trying to expand the universe very aggressively, taking up pages and pages of exposition. Most of the time I was wondering if I should be taking notes for all the information being dumped on me. It's cool that this is now redefining the role of Baxter and the Fugitoid in the original miniseries, but in the past, that would have gone into a micro-series.

And the reason that cannot happen anymore, is because there is no ongoing "the last ronin." Which, at same time, is a marketing strategy to always come up with a new best-seller #1. In other words, marketing is getting in the way of telling these stories properly.

The Turtles slowly getting special abilities was a no-brainer, but I am wondering if maybe they are going too far. Being mutant ninja animals wasn't enough?

I am also getting the idea that Jiro will be the new Nobody... who I don't remember right now if he was introduced in this universe already.

I also get the feeling that Bishop will be introduced into this universe very soon, considering the chess references.

Despite my problems with the excessive exposition, it is still interesting to see a universe expand (but I am guessing it will be harder on a second read). Hopefully all this exposition will play out in later issues.

I am honestly surprised that people love this universe so much. I do feel it has potential, especially with the new turtles, but something is a little off with the writing... and the art.

From human faces glowing like plastic, to hard to follow phone conversations, there were a few moments where the art really took me away from the story.

Considering how long it is taking to release the whole mini, I would have placed specials in-between issues focusing on the Fugitoid, Splinter, Jiro, and maybe even Casey. I don't know, it would have made more sense to expand the universe that way, to make the main story smoother. Perhaps something to consider for the next mini?

Comic-Con was wonderful. Ben Bishop was incredibly sweet and so kind! He loved the little shaded sketch I drew for him as a gift! He signed my copy of The Last Ronin and gave me one of his posters FOR FREE!!

Meeting Rob Paulsen was wonderful. He was so so so sweet and thoughtful. It was a dream come true to meet my hero and my favorite Donatello, he looked so touched when I gave him his poster 🥹 unfortunately I couldn’t give Kevin Eastman due to too many people at his booth but I left his poster on his table, his team said they’d give it to him! Fingers crossed! 🥹

I had an amazing day yesterday. My heart is full 💚

sept 3: wasn't sure i was going to put these up. but Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just turned 40- not bad for an independent property. These are the story of The Last Ronin and The Last Ronin- Lost Years by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz. Any book that mentions Joy Division and Nine Inch Nails deserves to be mentioned as well. Plus, the stories are well done as well as the art. (Kevin Eastman, Esau Escorza, Isaac Escorza, Ben Bishop, SL Gallant, Maria Keane, Luis Antonio Delgado). Robert Rodriguez did the foreword for one...
