Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: Saturday Morning Adventures

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Usagi Yojimbo: Saturday Morning Adventures One-shot involves the Turtles traveling to Usagi‘s home dimension after Donatello discovers a way to send the rabbit ronin home. What they expect to be a couple of fun days of Usagi showing of his home to Leonardo, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, however, soon becomes a battle against the shadow warriors of Lord Desmodus, a despot looking to increase his power and return to conquer his home dimension.

Fitting very much into the style of the 80s cartoon, the one-shot provides plenty of action for the group while highlighting most Usagi who is always first into the fray. Fans of both Usagi and the Turtles should enjoy themselves here. The only negative with the story is that the Turtles don’t get to meet an of the other Usagi Yojimbo characters during their short stint in his world. Well, there’s always next time.
