Amazon's upcoming Prime Big Deal Days sale has spurred early discounts for Prime members, with notable price reductions on graphic novels. Currently, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Last Ronin" hardcover is available for $12.10, marking its lowest price to date. This deal coincides with Amazon's announcement of the sale dates for its October event.
The "Last Ronin" story deviates significantly from the typical lighthearted TMNT narratives, presenting a grim tale of a lone turtle seeking vengeance for the deaths of his brothers and master. This graphic novel compiles a five-part miniseries into a single volume. The story is a collaboration between original TMNT creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, with illustrations by the Escorza Brothers.
Despite its relatively recent publication, the concept for "The Last Ronin" originated in 1987 during the early development of the TMNT franchise. The idea was shelved until 2018, when it was revisited and brought to fruition. Since its release, the graphic novel has garnered considerable acclaim and inspired a video game adaptation currently in development by PlatinumGames. A prose adaptation written by Erik Burnham was also released in June 2026 and has similarly received positive reviews.
