Scott's Take: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Naruto by Caleb Goellner, Hendry Prasetya (Illustrator), and Jorge Jiménez (Illustrator)


Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Naruto by Caleb Goellner, Hendry Prasetya (illustrator), and Jorge Jiménez (Illustrator,) is a 4 issue crossover miniseries where Naruto and TMNT crossover in a joint universe away from either of the main universes.  April O’Neil, the human friend of the TMNT, visits the Hidden Leaf village (home of Naruto) on a secret reporter mission. Team 7 (Naruto and friends) are assigned to escort her back to the Big Apple Village (New York in a Ninja world), but are attacked by the Foot Clan. After defeating them they are attacked again by the TMNT in a classic misunderstanding battle before teaming up. The rest of the volume is the two teams becoming friends and eventually taking on the Shredder.

 

This action-packed humor filled read is rather short, but fun. The art is really good and so is the characterization. The creative team does a good job of putting the Ninja Turtles in the Ninja World while keeping the core elements of TMNT. I really enjoyed this read as a fan of both groups and I hope they do more.
