While not nearly as fun as G.I. JOE: A Real American Hero – Saturday Morning Adventures, the first issue of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Saturday Morning Adventures #1 follows the same basic formula while attempting to recreate the enjoyment of a classic cartoon in comic form. Offering a single tale, the first issue of the four-issue mini-series gives us the misadventures of Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo, and Raphael who become trapped in a VR training program.

The setup allows for multiple of the Turtles’ foes to get cameos (including Shredder, Bebop and Rocksteady, Rat King, Krang, and Groundchuck and Dirtbag) before our heroes successfully win the game and make it back to the real world deciding they’ve had enough of video games for now.
