For the olds… remember the days when Ninja Turtles ruled the roast of children’s entertainment before Power Rangers became a thing and there were always debates to which was better? And then we got Shell Shocked… the less said the better.
But then decades later and we didn’t just get one proper crossover, but TWO. And now a third one is coming along and I’m like… meh.
Don’t get me wrong. I actually enjoyed the first two crossovers. They were fun reads… but when you did the Turtle Rangers in the first mini and then you do the Mutant Rangers in the second mini… is there anything left to say with a third mini? At this point, we’re just mashing toys together and the appeal of these crossovers – which seem to come out thrice per month – are lost. This sort of thing used to be a rare thing that felt like an event… now it feels like business as usual and it’s hard to get excited over this stuff.
Oh well… for what it’s worth, I am somewhat enjoying the current Prime series that Boom is putting out. I have reservations about certain aspects, but it’s doing its own thing and surprisingly, I actually like it. I do need to catch up on the current TMNT run, however.
