TMNT: The Last Ronin Saga | Complete Story 

I loved that they picked Mikey being the last ronin. Most people expect Ralph or Leo, but amazing to see Mikey being that guy

I like how it’s Michaelangelo who’s the ronin, Splinter said that he had the most talent of the 4 - greater than all 3 combined. He just always preferred goofing off.

They need to make this into a movie or a series

As someone who grew up watching this the tutrtles cartoons back in the eighties it really hit hard seeing them down and out like this. I can relate having heartaches and troubles over these years.

Last Ronin is one of the greatest comic series ever. When you mention last Ronin, it's up there with flashpoint, darkest night, emerald twilight, infinity war and kingdom come. I didn't care for the turtles until The Last Ronin came out. Amazing

I am 33 years old and about to cry. I grow up with the tmnt movie from 1990 (which is still the best all them all) and later with the animated series 1987-1996. To see what happened to Michelangelo broke my heart. I was always the Raphael type of guy but loved the goofy way Michelangelo takes nothing seriously.

46 years old with tears in my eyes because of this story lol always been a turtle fan.

This has to get a movie.

I LOVED this series. This is right behind Robin: Lazarus Island for me.

Being born in the early 80’s I’ve loved TMNT since I was a small child. Everything from the cartoons to the darker origins in the comics. I knew of this but never read them and I think your breakdown was awesome man thanks for that. Mikey was always my favorite turtle growing up. Even had a pet turtle that I named after him as a kid. Was cool to see him as the last and the one to make it all right in the end and especially seeing him finally at peace. This series was freaking great and glad the OG creators got their hands back on their creation👍

Hurts my heart to hear how they each died but the ending/wrap up was masterful

At first I didn’t know how I would feel about it but ultimately I did really love how they made The Last Ronin Michelangelo, the obvious pick for most people would’ve been Leonardo because not only is he the leader but he’s the most responsible of the group, but having the goofball of the group now become this really hard edged brooding badass was a really cool contrast

Such an incredible story, the hardcover they released for it is worth every penny. Also between the incredible figures neca did, and the video game coming, we’re eating good

We need more of these complete stories on this channel

I want this comic so bad. Michaelangelo has always been my favorite turtle and listening to you tell this story just brings tears to my eyes.

man i can’t believe i actually started tearing up towards the end there, im not even that big of a turtles fan, mainly just watched the 2012 series (which i adored) but goddamn this is a good comic

A comic I actually loved.

Dud you should do this very often, no one can do comic story telling better than you do

That may be the greatest TMNT story ever written. Amazing work!!

It's cool that casey Marie is a mutant. I think this is the first time that there's a mutant looking human in TMNT with no relation to the X-men

Damn. When the evil Foot Clan attacked, they didn't cut those turtle boys no slack.

They should make this into a movie. It would be the TMNT universe's answer to Logan.

Just bought the full book on a whim - absolutely blown away. It rekindled my love of comics.

When I read this, I wanted it to be Raph as he was always my favorite. But it hit harder to see Mikey so dark when he was always the jokester. It was bittersweet too as Mikey was the first turtle that was created by Eastman and Laird.

I disagree with the final assessment that Casey Marie will be the next April to the turtles she is raising, I believe she will be their Splinter!

The Last Ronin is the TMNT version of Old Man Logan.

Do you guys even realize how much untapped potential is here?... Do you realize how many banger videos you can do narrating literally every series in comics? I'm not sure you realize how good you guys are at it... It would also give you enough content to last a lifetime...you guys are awesome you should consider this lol

I also watched the Turtles as a kid and this story was AMAZING! It brought a happy tear to my eye!

Im going to need therapy after watching this, the inner child in me is deeply traumatized. This was a deep story!!!

First time making time and sitting to watch a video about comics ... I have always been a TMNT fan ... this story seems extremely awesome. love everything about it.

This comic is soo amazing. A movie and true video game adaptation would be lovely

Seeing the comic book issues, makes me hyped for the game in the future

This series was freaking amazing. Great job on covering it👌

I think the ending is very fitting for this type of story. I am curious to see the future turtles in this timeline but if not I’m satisfied with the ending.

The fact they all died in the comic.but he fulfilled his destiny and died happy

This comic was 🔥🔥🔥 I wish this came out in theaters! 🙏🏾

This Story was Fire 🔥 & I Can't Wait for the Video Game Adaptation 😎💪🏾

I just finished reading it. I loved it, can’t wait for the game.

'While I am still breathing you will call me Master Splinter.'

No lie, the creator chose the right turtle as the Ronin

What would happen if the original Turtles and Splinter knew about this dark alternate time line where they all don't survive?

I'm not crying, you're crying..

I love this comic series because it’s not who I WANTED to carry on the TMNT mantle. I was a Leonardo or Raphael fan but Mikey was explained in a way that just made so much sense.

It's been a long time since I enjoyed a story recap this much. Great video!!

when Mikey tlks to Casey . Truly loved it. Poor mikey

This was perfect. Mikey was always my favorite turtle since i was a kid. I always felt like he was more than just jokes, but that he chose to be the brother to try and ease the stress that the other brothers felt in a lot of the situations that they all had to deal with

The series is fantastic, as each turtle has proven exceptional. Leo was always considered the best due to his leadership and being the oldest, Raph for his strength, Donnie for his intelligence, and Mikey for his speed. However, Mikey is probably the most underrated due to his laid-back personality. Each of the other turtles taught him throughout their history of fighting and caring for themselves. Therefore, he would be the perfect choice to be the last turtle to survive. Although it may seem messed up, it is still the best thing that could have been done for the series. I grew up watching Ninja Turtles, and it was then that I developed a love for martial arts. I would love to see a live-action adaptation of the story.

Thankful you put this together. Loved this long format review

Perfect absolutely perfect

This is gonna be the best live action tmnt movie ever

As a kid I lived and breathed this story line. The only thing I’m disappointed in is the fact it had to end. This was an epic story.

Wow...that was a pretty cool story. April O'Neal being the last one of the original crew is sad but, her daughter carrying on the legacy by stepping into Splinter and April's shoes is pretty dope.

you guys should do more stuff like this, i work a lot and videos like this streamlines things for me

This needs to be a movie and also it is a reference from TMNT 2003

Turtle Power

Loved it!! And thanks for a great recap!

Thank you so much for this ! even thou its all explanied it just makes me want to go by all of the issues even more!

Honestly, Michaelangelo was always my favorite of the team, so to see him at a badass like this is more awesome than I can form words for. If I had to nitpick one thing you had said about the Ronin’s identity, though, I would’ve put easiest money on that being Leonardo at first guess, given the leadership skills and determination. Raphael would actually have been my second guess.

Wow. I heard about the series but wasn't too keen on buying the comics. Thanks for doing this man. Really appreciate it

What I like best about the Last Ronin is that it has given us a new gen of turtles: Odyn, Uno, Yi and Moja.

I'm literally emotionally messed up that the turtles including Master Splinter & K C Jones all had died R.I.P

Speaking of ninjas they are cutting onions up in here cus gah damn that ending is both heartbreaking and hopeful at the same time.

The Last Ronin universe is so f-ing dope

Man. Almost got chocked up. This was great. Thanks for the great commentary. I'm now wanting to go back and read more Turtle Comics. You have me on a new path. 🙌🏾

Awesome recap!!! Bravo!

If you think about it, mikey is the only turtle that would make sense to be the last ronin. He's the only one that could be told to leave the fight since they always babied him, the others would feel too much responsibility for him / he would be the one to be tasked with getting people to safey(exactly what happens). Amazing comic series

I have the graphic novel release of The Last Ronin and it's awesome even though I couldn't hold back from crying at the end because I've had members of my family who've died over the years but one of the deaths in my family was and still is hard for me to deal with that being my father but the Ninja Turtles were and still are my reason for not doing myself in after that so I give Last Ronin a big thumbs up

picked up the whole series cant wait for it to continue

This was great. Thanks for the video 👍🏻👍🏻

Michelangelo the comedian the jokester had to stop joking around. And get real dangerous. Hit me hard to see them go but the end was nice to see the legacy continues.

Can you do the history of magneto, gambit, judge dredd, Cassie hack, qwenpool, hit monkey, vamperrella, moon girl & devil dinosaur and league of extraordinary gentlemen

Absolutely awesome. Love how Ronin is Mikey. Sad seeing how they all died .

Perfection..

Thank you for this amazing summary Variant Comics!

Great Job! Loved the story.

Another compilation video of a popular story Arc on variant 🔥🔥🔥 🐢🐢 👑👑🗡️⚔️🍕🍕

1 of da best stories EVER told!!!

THIS IS ONE OF THE GREATEST STORIES EVER AND ITS NOT EVEN COMPLETELY FINISHED ITS MORE COMING

I loved this series it’s was amazing but I felt sad due to watching the turtle always overcome their enemies eventually when I was a kid I guess a part of me will always feel that way but again if this does end up being the definitive end to their story then they did it perfectly

I have that variant in the thumbnail and it's probably my favorite variant cover in the whole series, maybe one of my all time variants in all comics.

They should make this a movie and have it look like the first turtles movies but have aimed for the fans that been here since day one put some blood in the movie and it would be a masterpiece

Wow! Awesome! Need a TV series for this!

Dude the symbolism of Raph dying because his impatience, wrath and vengeance then Donnie dying by ambush fueled by hope for peace and Leo dying leading from the front sacrificing himself. 🤌🏽

This story was amazing!!! Flawless

This might be one of the best series I've read. Im a huge TMNT fan from the beginning, and while this broke my heart, the fact that it could break my heart means I cared at all! So well done and this recap of it is epic! Thanks for sharing my friend!!!

This is movie worthy and hope that some day this hits the big screen because it's so good.

It was beautiful. Needs to be a movie 🐲⚔️🪬

I read that comic when tmnt mutant mayhem was coming out.

Great video. Perfect series.

This was so nice to listen to. Aries’ narration is so awesome. Even though I only listened on audio, I felt like I was watching a movie.

That was a story I didn't know I needed to hear. Good stuff. 🐢

Such a satisfying way to end such an epic Turtle story! Need to buy all issues of The Last Ronin!

I really enjoyed this. Mikey being revealed as the last Ronin is the best choice, bc its the least obvious! The storyline was just great. Getting to see how Leo, Raph & Donnie died along with Casey Jones & Splinter really added to this story. Very happy with it!

You should do more compilations for comic stories

Mikey has ALWAYS been the most skilled of the group, which is why he was given the most difficult weapon to learn and wield. The reason he has such a laid-back and carefree attitude is because he hasnt actually gotten a challenge.

Thanks for the recap

Wow, what an amazing story arc!

crazy how we are getting a game and a movie about this, cant wait for both

Amazing man! This has to be a series or movie. Somehow, someway.

I hope you do more like this it was great
