Comic Book Review – Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters #2

December 8, 2014 by Chris Cooper

Chris Cooper reviews the second issue of the TMNT and Ghostbusters crossover…

“The Turtles are stuck in the Ghostbusters dimension… along with a brand-new, all-powerful, all-crazy ghost from centuries past! The two teams will have to act fast to save the day, but what happens when Casey Jones becomes possessed?”

Now we’ve got the initial intro issue out of the way, TMNT/Ghostbusters is on the up. That doesn’t mean it’s hitting the same heights as my crazy expectations though.

Quickly proving themselves to be a thorn in the side of Chi-You, Busters quickly realise that the turtles aren’t just left behind constructs and get down to business. In this case business means plenty of snappy dialogue between everyone involved. Seeing these cultural icons figuring each other out is the main thrill of this issue and one I don’t think I’d ever get bored off.

I’ll be honest. If the choice is to talk about the personal relationships being built up or the threat of Chi-You, I’ll be talking about the former all the way.

What’s that? It’s my review? Yes! OK I’ll stick with that then.

It’s pleasantly surprising to find the relationships aren’t all the obvious team ups we would have imagined, and that allows for some interesting dialogue and scenes that will raise more than a few smiles. I’d never thought about it, but Leo’s decision on who he thinks the leader of the Busters is actually makes a lot of sense, especially with knowing his background well.

The story moves along nicely, explaining the situation and introducing higher stakes for everyone. Add in the dialogue that I can’t seem to stop talking about and it’s a strong issue from a writing point of view.

Now that I’m not being bothered by inconsistencies I can fully get behind the artwork, which not only looks very snazzy but shows off the TMNT well. The human designs may not be for all tastes but I like a bit of exaggeration. Who needs realism? The ghostly effect applied to Chi-You, his army and Slimer is rather cool too.

We’re already at the halfway point in this series, and it’s just getting into it’s stride. I’m expecting great things in issue 3!!
