From the Slings & Arrows Comic Guide:

The phenomenon that was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles took off globally in the late 1980s to spawn three movies, a cartoon series, a multitude of comics imitators, and about three million toys. Simple art and basic plots conceal very funny writing at times, and although it’s predictable it’s worth switching off your brain and enjoying a few of these issues. The mini-series coincided with the TV show and retold the origin of four turtles exposed to highly toxic gook who grew to become intelligent biped pizza-munching ninjas. Locked in eternal battle with arch-villains Krang, Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, the turtles establish themselves in the New York sewers and learn the mystic arts from a rat named Splinter. ~TP
