TMNT: The Last Ronin II - Re-Evolution is an engaging legacy sequel to the Last Ronin full of emotion, action, and serves as a great introduction to the new turtles. The legacy characters are interesting, and the new characters feel fresh and engaging. The series has a lot of promise overall, and hopefully the series will continue to develop the new turtles and the idea of their continued mutations. As it currently stands, this is not a perfect introduction to the legacy of TMNT, but it will certainly intrigue fans of the universe.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an eARC of this book.

I'm not a huge Ninja Turtles fan, but this comic was more than interesting. It's full of action, tragic, and exciting moments. For fans, it should be a gem and a great start to the series.

I liked the illustrations. I still don't quite understand how women sometimes fight with so little armor or clothing, but that's something deeply personal, and I know things aren't going to change.

A great start to the story!

Thank you, IDW Publishing, for the ARC I read on NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is way more in-depth than I thought it could be. Love the dirty future mutant tech style artwork.

The Last Ronin II -- Re-Evolution takes place 16 years after the events of The Last Ronin (the single greatest TMNT graphic novel ever made). The Foot Clan has been defeated for over a decade but new threats rises up to take over the city. Will the Resistance and the new TMNTs stop the tide or will they be crushed underneath the waves?

As an 80s and 90s kid, I absolutely loved (and still do) the Ninja Turtles. The original graphic novel (check it out if you are a TMNT fan and have never read it) was gritty and tense and sad in ways that TMNT had rarely ever explored before. It was incredible. This sequel does a really good job of retaining the essence of what made the first one so great while exploring the dynamics of 4 different turtles (2 brothers and 2 sisters).

I really loved what they did with the new roster and the way they explored mutations that leveled up the mutations from the original four. Engaging writing, great characters, and an intriguing storyline made this one a wonderful read. The graphic novel covers the first 5 issues of the series with #5 ending on a pretty big cliffhanger. Highly recommend reading this work but definitely suggest reading the first one and The Lost Years prior to beginning.

If you are looking to reading this book, it comes out on July 8th. Go buy it! Excited to see where this series goes! Happy Reading Everyone!

This installment of TMNT is another emotional and captivating offering filled with both nostalgia and new life.

This installment leans into grit and grace in equal measures giving readers both action and heart. I am not sure where we will go next in this series but the door has certainly been left open for even more epic story telling.

Cowabunga!—The Last Ronin II: Re-Evolution #2 doesn’t just wear its nostalgia on its sleeve, it weaponises it. This issue is a slick, emotionally charged ride through the shattered shadows of a world trying to rebuild itself—with the ghosts of four very familiar brothers whispering through every page.

The art? Chef’s kiss. Visceral, sharp, and glorious (even with the watermark on my advanced copy). Every panel feels heavy with memory and purpose, dripping in that gritty, post-Ronin atmosphere fans of the original run will instantly latch onto.

Beneath the mayhem and nostalgia, there’s real heart here. This story is a bold, often poignant exploration of legacy, trauma, and the weight of stepping into the shell of giants. The new generation—Yi, Uno, Odyn, and Moja—are still finding their rhythm, but there’s real promise in their tension, their doubt, their potential. This series is laying the groundwork not just for another chapter in TMNT lore, but for a rebirth.

The Turtles had to evolve. This issue gets that. It honours the past without being shackled by it, and dares to ask what comes next when the legends are gone. Not every beat lands perfectly, but the emotional gut punches hit hard, and the final pages are fantastic!

The future is murky. The shadows are long. But if Re-Evolution keeps this up, the Turtle legacy is in seriously good hands.

A darker world than the original TMNTs. The story and artwork are great and will grab your attention. The plot is well-developed and enjoyable. A good graphic novel, just not one for those who loved the original TMNT.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for my honest opinion.

This book has the unenviable task of following The Last Ronin and unfortunately it doesn’t quite live up to it.

I like the characters but i don’t think we get enough time with them. I’d rather spend more time with the new turtles than deal with the generic rebellion storyline.

The art is functional but never great.

The story left me wanting. It ends on a cliffhanger and I think i’ll check out more if we get some but its not a certainty. Shame.

Thank you to IDW and Netgalley for an ARC of this.

3 stars - I liked it

It’s been 16 years since Michelangelo brought down the Foot and died. The resistance is still going strong and fighting daily to push back at the multiple gangs that now fill the town. Casey Marie has been training the new turtles since they could walk and she finally is letting them on the field. But things don’t always go as planned.

I am glad we are getting more stories with this new batch of turtles and this future NY because I was really curious after the previous book if these new turtles would end up having to fight for the resistance. Moja, Uno, Yi, and Odyn were all great because each of them is unique in looks and personalities. While the previous turtles all had different personalities, they mostly looked the same. Also I really like that we have some female turtles now!

This volume ends in a bit of a cliffhanger because a new threat is attacking the resistance and it is causing them to retreat from their main locations. I wasn’t expecting this to end in a cliffhanger, but I think it is a good way to keep me hooked because I really want to know what happens next with the resistance, the turtles, and with Honeycutt.

Thank you Netgalley and IDW Publishing for giving me a chance to review this comic.

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin II--Re-Evolution" by Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz continues from the previous "The Last Ronin" following the new team of turtles.

This is a great continuation of TMNT: The Last Ronin series.. It shows what would happen after the TMNT were gone and a new team of turtles take up the mantle. I really enjoyed reading this and look forward to reading more from The Last Ronin series.

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
I grew up reading TMNT comics, watching the movies, and playing with the action figures. Many iterations of the brothers have been created since that time and this is one of the few that do the originals any sort of justice. The Turtles are a new generation of hero’s. The comic and the characters contained within do a good job at paying respect to their predecessors.
The illustrations were A+, the storyline was enough to keep me interested but drug a little at times.
If you grew up with the TMNT then this is worth a read!

The sort of comic I remember devouring when I was a teenager. This is an introduction, without as much ninja action as I might prefer. The turtles are back! Well actually different turtles are back! Well not back really, because they are new mutant ninja turtles. But, they are very much like the originals. Four mixed up, batting for each other, and ready to jump right in to protect everyone. This first part, of a much bigger story, introduces the next bunch of mutated back chatting fun, and their nemesis. There’s a large part of verbal telling of how they came to be - if you’ve followed the turtles before you could skip this bit if you are more untreated in the visual experience. Good start, I want more. Thank you to IDW Publishing and NetGalley for the comic ARC. The views expressed are all mine, freely given.

DNF at 10%. This one's just too difficult to read on an iPad via the NetGalley app. Lots of double-page spreads in the opening chapter, but no guided view means having to flip back and forth. The low-resolution nature of the file means that some dialogue is blurry. And then there's the damn watermark IDW insists on sticking in the middle of each and every page to obscure art and text. This review copy is too frustrating to try and devote the time to, so I'll just wait for the published edition to hit the shelves to read. Thanks for the ARC, but it's just not working well here.

A great set up to continue the series after the events of the Last Ronin. By giving the turtles powers it differentiates them from the OGs more. Allowing future threats to escalate in scale as well. Criminal ending though, don't know if it was a formatting thing or just the intended cut off.

Thank You NetGalley and IDW Publishing for the ARC!

I wish we had the other books in the series for context. It seems interesting enough to read and really enjoyed reading through it. The art was amazing and the story was engaging. I can't wait for the next volume.

The second volume of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin picks up 10 years after the first volume of Last Ronin. A new generation of ninja turtles is on the rise with the help of Casey Marie. They must fight to make sure there is peace.

A good follow-up to the first volume! I would definitely recommend reading the first volume before this one otherwise you will be very lost. I think there could be a little recap at the beginning (more than the new turtles telling the story) to help anyone who stumbled upon this. It was also hard to read digitally, which might have to do with the oversized format of the physical version.
