The one shots in this except for the one neither of them wrote are pretty terrible, but the art for the Return to New York arc is beyond incredible. The commentary also is interesting, Laird comes off as a huge prick.

This one was kind of all over the place. The three part “Return to New York” story was excellent, but the rest was fairly meh.

I would describe this as uneven. Reading the commentary by the creators, I understand why. It seems like most of the issues aren't meant to fit together, nor were they created with any kind of collaboration or sense of story continuity. It's just a different style of comics. Some of these I liked. Some I did not.

These volumes are a treat. They allow you to relive the heyday surrounding the birth of Eastman and Laird's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles empire. With the large format pages and end notes on each issue, you get a decent inside scoop on what went into every issue. The real star of this volume is the Return to New York storyline where Eastman and Laird were working together again after being diverted to other projects for quite a while. You can see what they've learned on their breaks for other projects and just being away from things. It's really just great to see all these old issues collected together in one easily accessible format.
