Very excited to buy a copy of this version. Unfortunately I think the Barnes and Noble Christmas sale ended already but whenever this directors cut goes on sale again I’m definitely going to buy it.
@@LaggingLeland There are two versions of The Last Ronin (one is regular and one is the director's cut). There is also a new continuation of The Last Ronin called "The Lost Years" that just came out. That new hardcover matches the regular HC of The Last Ronin. Hopefully, that makes a bit more sense!
can't say favourite turtle. they are all perfect in their role, as family and fighters. I haven't followed the comic series, so am devistated hearing that 3 have died. we all need to be aggressive at times for family, need to be a leader and reflective, need to unwind and have fun, and need to learn and be studious. 4 turtles.
I don't think you need to read any IDW first, just know who Karai is and that's about it! I'll tell you below as a very minor spoiler for the IDW series... SPOILER BELOW: Karai is Shredder's granddaughter.
@@Omnibuddy thanks. I watched a few episodes of a TMNT cartoon some years back and do remember Karai, forgot if she was daughter or granddaughter though. I've decided to read them simultaneously, i'm excited.
@@Omnibuddy there's the first issue that got a director's cut and there's the design archives and I'm curious if all the content in both appears in that hardcover version
Yeah, I really dug the original one, not really sure why they made this one white ...now it doesn't match the second volume ...unless they plan to do a director's cut of that one too?
Yeah, dude! I freaking love this story, and the Director's Cut is pretty nice. Now I need to figure out if I should keep the Director's Cut or the regular one since the regular one matches the Lost Years deluxe edition.
Anyone know if this version of the Director's cut contains the entire original story?
Yes. It’s the whole original Last Ronin story. It just has the extras.

It is a very cool version! I'll be selling mine, though, as I the other version matches the latest Lost Years hardcover. :(
@@Omnibuddycan you explain? I don’t really understand

Good call! They are all necessary and unique and we can learn a little from each's strengths and weaknesses.
I haven't read the IDW series yet. Should I read all of the IDW first and then this, or can I read this the same time as I start IDW?

@JalomMatia Oh yes! That’s right! She’s the same character in the 2012 toon!
I'm curious if that has all the stuff that the first director's cut had and what the design archives had so wouldn't have to get those 😅
There's a different Last Ronin Director's Cut?! Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.
@@Omnibuddy there's the first issue that got a director's cut and there's the design archives and I'm curious if all the content in both appears in that hardcover version
@@kenj515 OOOOOH YES! I totally forgot they did a single issue directors cut! I have no idea if all that is in this deluxe, though. Sorry! ☹️
@@Omnibuddywell if you ever get to have both that first issue and the design archives you get the answer to that question
For sure. I'll have to keep my eyes open for it!
I got the last ronin only $18 for everything
I’m definitely getting the directors cut also lost years
Nice! I really enjoyed The Lost Years. Was surprised how great it was!
The original cover looks so much better.

So cool
