SOURCE-Dark Horse Comics Trade paperback
I'm a sucker for these comic mini series that crossover TMNT with some other property. Saw this tpb and of course I was a Masters of the Universe fan as a kid. Figured I would get it read over a month or so.
Tim Seeley handles the writing chores,with Freddie Williams II on the art. Seeley I think I have read stuff from before. Freddie Williams II I am sure I have comics with his art. And that art fits this crossover so well. It is this mixture of slightly cartoonish art then some almost Liefeldian overt muscles.
Seeley takes a loophole Laird & Eastman left in the original TMNT comic and that is how we get this crossover. Yep Renet is how we get Eternia and NYC meeting up.
Shredder is teamed up with Skeletor,and using something called Purple Mutagen,to increase the powersets of all of the Foot CLan and Skeletor's goons like Beastman.
Then early on we start seeing scenes from the first 12 issues of volume 1 of TMNT,but this time He Man is added. Like when the Turtles were out in Space fighting for the Tricertons,now they also got He Man with them.
Seems someone is missing with the time stream and causing "KNOTS". With Renet trying to figure out who. And who on the Masters of the Universe evil side would be perfect to fight the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? Ninjor! I had forgotten about the EVIL Ninja villian from MOTU,or more than likely had given up on the toyline before he appeared.
Thin thin trade,that is 4 issues and a pile of variant covers and sketches. The price of 19 bucks is a bit high and this is the kind of TPB that back in the day would have been 8 buck tops. What surprised me is this was from Dark Horse. I had no clue who currently had the Masters of the Universe comic license,and was thinking the TPB was from IDW,who have the TMNT rights in comics.
Worth reading if you like both franchises. But don't pay cover price. 10 bucks or so.
Turtles of Greyskull gets a C+
