Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II #1

The first of a six part series of comics that is a sequel to the first crossover between Batman and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Up until the last pages, the comic tells two different stories that deal with what Batman and the Turtles are dealing with in their own universes, with Batman finding a Lazarus Pit under Gotham being used by Bane and the Turtles fighting different factions of the Foot that split up after Shredder was put in prison. The artwork is just like the first crossover and is as great, though one thing I didn't like about it then that this comic still has is that it's too dark and not very bright. To see Bane enhanced by both his super strength formula and the waters of the Pit is an amazing sight, especially when he faces the Foot at the end. Something that will be probably a recurring theme throughout the six issues is Donatello's inferiority to his brothers due to being saved by them in a fight and wanting Batman's help in fighting better. As a first issue this is really good and since this is a followup we don't have to worry about taking more time for the two teams to work together like the first time. Over all: 98%
