Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures, Vol. 1 (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures, 1) Paperback – June 27, 2023

Growing up as a kid the TMNT cartoon show was a big part of my life. This comic faithful recreates the look and feel. If you ever liked the cartoon and want to feel like a kid again, get this book!

This comic book collection has four separate stories (or episodes) that are carefully written and the artwork is beautifully illustrated. As a TMNT fan since I was in 1st grade (roughly 35 years ago), this book was a great addition to my “Turtles” collection. I’m looking forward to reading more!

This is designed to be evoke the cartoons of the early 90s and it’s just great. I use it as the carrot to motive my kid to do their school reading practice and they are incredibly motivated to do their homework so that we can read some of this before bed.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures, Vol. 1 brings the magic of the classic ‘80s and ‘90s cartoon back to life in comic form, and it’s a total joy for fans new and old. This volume captures everything that made the original TMNT series so memorable, from the quirky humor and exaggerated villains to the bold colors and fast-paced action. It’s like stepping back into a Saturday morning in front of the TV with a bowl of cereal.

I liked how they started from the very beginning on how the ninja turtles actually became to b and included some of the most iconic characters in American history.

The new old school stories are GREAT!

Good quality, was packaged safely

This covers issues 1-4 of the run. It’s hilarious.We get turtles trapped in a video game, good guy brain zapped into evil guy (I had so hoped that was a full on brain swap, but no), Casey Jones as super-powered and sort of nuts, and a bit of shrink down and enter Master Splinter Fantasic Voyage action.They break the fourth wall a lot with lines like “we only have 20 pages or so these days” and when Leo says his “turtle sense” is tingling, Ralph comments he’s pretty sure that’s trademarked.We get some cute wink-wink jokes. We have a McGuffin named McGuffin. We have a poster advertising the Wild Stallions and one advertising a turtles movie.We’re clearly in the 80s here, and it’s fun and a bit nostalgic.
