Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Kevin Eastman Notebook Series: Michelangelo (TMNT Notebook Series) Details
TMNT co-creator Kevin Eastman has been making comics for 30 years―and across three decades he’s amassed mountains of developmental character sketches, script notes, page roughs, and even alternate pages. Along the way he’s created one-of-a-kind notebooks filled with the detritus of his process, entirely unique collections exploring the inner workings of his creative methods. But now these unattainable treasures are ready for fans far and wide, tirelessly reproduced from the original notebooks, and curated by the foremost TMNT authority in the world!
Reviews
I'm sorry I spent money on this. I'm probably going to send it back for a refund. What's wrong with it you ask?1. Poor construction. After one reading and only opening the book at about a 100 degree angle, the spine is coming apart. I'm pretty sure if try and read through it again, the cover is going to fall off.2. Duplicated Pages. Page 41 is duplicated on Page 35. Whatever is supposed to be on Page 35 is nowhere to be found in the book.3. Inconsistent print quality. Throughout most of the book the artwork is pretty crisp but on pages 44-51 the printing changes and everything looks smudged or blurred. Like someone took the original hi-res art, lowered the DPI by quite a bit, then ran it through a filter to soften all the jagged edges.4. Inconsistent artwork. Most of the artwork itself is great, but in some sections it looks like someone's less talented cousin tried to copy the original artist's style but got it wrong. Examples are pages 74-75.The story itself is ok, so if you want it for that, great, but just be prepared for the book to fall apart after more than a couple readings, and try to ignore the issues the printing and art.
