I have really enjoyed the microseries, each Turtle has had their own minicomic introducing their character a little more to the main arc. The Raphael story is by far the best leading in to his integration into the rest of the Turtles and his friendship with Casey

These are 4 different tales each focusing on a different turtle
1- We have Raphael teaming up with Casey until they encounter an Arctic fox named "Alopex" whose a dupe and was gonna trick him but he finds out quickly and fight
2-starring Michaelangelo as he goes to some halloween party and turns out some thieves mistake him as part of their crew to steal something and there he also meets Kara, the cat lady. Its a fun issue and the art is gorgeous and like Mikey is on full swing.
3- starring Donatello, the science geek who goes on a science fair and meets a guy named Harold whose his rival online and like they are in a story where Dr Stockman wants his gravity gun for himself and they banter yes but in the end defeat him and have a fun knock off!
4-starring Leonardo, the leader and its upto him to rescue Master Splinter and this book is so much fun, him vs ninjas and is pure action filled read!
Perfect series to understand the turtles!!

I'm not up to date on the current series, so the references to what was going on outside this comic went over my head, but otherwise, an excellent set of solo stories for each turtle. I like the Raphael and Michelangelo stories best, but they were all good fun.

Very quick and enjoyable read. It was fun to see the turtles separately. Might help me keep them straight when my littlest kid wants us to play turtles. :-)

These definitely filled in some of the missing information in the main comic.

The next set of Turtles comics my friend let me borrow are the micro-series volumes, which I think technically fall a little later in the actual run but contain some great character building and depth.
This volume focuses on the four brothers, each getting his own issue centering on who they are and what kind of lessons they need in order to become more fully who they are. Raphael’s deals with his first encounter with the artic fox mutant Alopex while out with Casey, which is also my first time reading about Alopex. I adore her character design and her attitude, so I’m definitely looking forward to seeing her in the normal run. The art in that issue is my favorite out of the four, and I loved the details and lightening used. I would say Raph and Leo’s stories are more straight forward both in plot and motivation. Mikey and Donnie are the ones with the fun stories, both dealing with getting out and doing things otherwise closed off to them. They are also the two with the most “feels”, and my favorite pair out out of the four stories.
Depsite this only holding four issues and dealing in what amounts to short stories, I really liked it. They’re not “important” to the overall storyline, but it’s definitely nice to get to know each character better before I get into the meat of the story.
