This is an anthology of short stories featuring the origins of four villains, enemies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The turtles may make small appearances, but these volumes focus on the villains. This is a compilation of the first four issues of the villains micro-series. This volume features the following villains:
- Krang, the alien warlord.
- Baxter the scientist, who is now forced to work for Krang.
- Old Hob, a mutated feline who is now a street gang banger and human hater.
- Alopex, Shredder's top student and lieutenant, who is a mutated artic vixen.
If you ask me, 4.5 out of 5 stars on this one. This is one that public libraries will likely want to add, especially if they already collect other TMNT comics. It could be a nice title for academic libraries if they already buy graphic novels and comics, but I would view it as optional.
Disclosure note: In order to keep The Man happy this is where I tell you that I read this book as an e-book galley from the publisher via NetGalley. It was provided in exchange for an honest review. Book due for publication around November 19, 2013.
