Review: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters by Dan Schoening, Erik Burnham and Tom Waltz
Man, I had so much fun reading this work. Basically, the Turtles end up hitching a ride into the wrong dimension as a result of one of Donatello's malfunctioning inventions. They arrive in New York, but end up encountering a dangerous spirit who takes control of one of their friends (Casey). Luckily, the Ghostbusters arrive to help matters out. I totally ship Donatello and Egon as potential BFFs (Raphael and Peter too - those two had more quotable one-liners in this comic than a little bit).
The best Ghostbuster/Turtle relationship though? Winston and Leonardo - those two had mutual respect for one another. The storyline was strong as the Turtles and Ghostbusters join forces against this immortal presence and have to outwit the being's manipulations before the Ghostbusters can find a way to send the Turtles back home.
Overall, the comic does a fine job with the storyline and development between the characters. The art is decent, more in line with newer character designs, and they're consistent in style. Overall, I'd definitely love to read another crossover story with the Turtles and Ghostbusters down the line.
Overall score: 4.5/5 stars
Note: I received this as an ARC from NetGalley, from the publisher.
