review 1: Writer Brian Lynch shines a spotlight on each of the Ninja Turtles in this IDW collection. The opening chapter deals with Raphael and his initial encounter with the fox mutant Alopex, as the bad boy turtle faces issues of family and trust. Michelangelo uses a discarded wristband to enter a New Year's Eve museum party, only to find himself in the middle of a diamond robbery in the second story. The third segment sees Donatello sneak into a science convention, coming face to face with his online adversary as they encounter rogue scientist Baxter Stockman. Finally, Leonardo takes on a mob of Foot clan ninjas during his hunt for Splinter. The delight of this collection is to see how four different artists interpret one writer's stories. The dark artwork from Franco Urro paints... more a bleak picture of the gritty Raph, while the cartoony style from Andy Huhn fits perfectly with the offbeat Mikey tale. Valerio Schiti's art is crisp and clean, which is suitable for Donnie as well. The only misstep is the cluttered and rough art of Ross Campbell, which does not resemble the warrior Leo; it does hearken towards his eventual team-up with Shredder, which may be why it was used here. Explore the micro-series collection for a dose of Turtle Power!
review 2: I read one part of the micro series for free but the rest cost money. The one I read was Donatello's story and it was amazing.If you know Donatello, then you'd know that he loves science. He's constantly building machines and inventing stuff, but he also likes going online. He visits a lot of different forums when one night he hears about a science convention and decides to go. So he does, wearing his trench-coat and a bowler hat, wandering the huge building that's flooded with activity. He meets some old guy who made objects fly around the room, and quickly gets disqualified. Security comes and brings him upstairs, but Donatello senses something fishy. So he follows them.They go upstairs where they find Baxter Stockman. He used the 4 turtles as lab experiments, and now he wants the old man, Mr Lillja, to find the turtles' blood."We're slightly more than that. We want the top-notch technical talent and that is you. Bottom line? I believe in you. And I want to bring your undeniable expertise into my deploy. And your first assignment? Find me a turtle."Not liking this at all."A...turtle?""The blood of a giant, mutated turtle, to be exact. This device will assist you in that effort-It is designed to scan and detect the trace DNA of such a specimen."I need to get out of here. Like, right now."Mutated...what? I'm not following."Simply, I wish to hire you to use this tracer-and your own fantastic inventions-to return to me what was lost." less

The Michelangelo issue is particularly hilarious, of course!
