Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Compendium #2

The all-green cover art says it all — all four Turtles are in the thick of a fierce brawl, weapons flying and a satisfying "WHAK" sound effect punctuating the chaos as they face off against masked Foot Clan soldiers. This second compendium from IDW gathers a substantial chunk of Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird's Mirage-era run, with additional contributions from Ryan Brown, Jim Lawson, Mark Martin, Eric Talbot, Mark Bodé, Michael Dooney, Richard Corben, and more. It's a serious slab of black-and-white ninja comics history collected in one hefty 2023 volume — a genuinely rewarding way to dig deep into the series' gritty, scrappy roots.
