Color me pleasantly surprised then that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto is actually an earnest and enjoyable attempt at a crossover story. ― Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles x Naruto is a mashup that has plenty of energy and fun for the time you'll spend with it. I was very skeptical of this book going in, I have to admit. Sure, sure, it had a lot going for it on the front-end. I know that I'm theo...
