As far as animation goes, Avatar the Last Airbender was probably one of the greatest TV series created in the last decade. It would be no surprise that a follow up to the series would be made: The Legend of Korra.

This art book collects some of the most impressive art and concept drawings from the series. It makes me wish I had liked the new show better. The art is just as breathtaking as the Last Airbender, yet you can see the subtle differences.

If you are a fan of the new series or just a collector of art books, this is a solid 4/5 and after reading this book, I am going to watch season two when it starts up in the fall.

Every micro-series comic that has come out have been nothing but pure pleasure to read. Solid artists, solid story and solid enjoyment.

It’s become abundantly clear to me that comics about the TMNT extended cast of villains and allies are some of the best comics made to this day.

This issue is no exception. We follow the back story and creation of one of the Turtles’ biggest and most talented villains. With this issue, we learn the level of depravity that The Shredder will go through to have loyal soldiers.

Every page was by far more exciting than the next and made this comic a fast read. I say this every review, if you can only pick up one comic book series, you would be doing yourself a disservice if you pass up these awesome TMNT books. And this issue is no different, this is a must read.

I give this issue a strong 5/5 and, so far, for the TMNT comics in total a 5/5 for the whole line of comics.
