Nothing accomplished. That's the best way to describe this series. I heard there off behind scene problems and series died earlier than planned, but you would think 13 issue would be enough to leave some sort of impact. Decompression storytelling be damned.
The first issue, for example, is a bunch of weird dreams that foreshadow future events. Spoiler alert, almost nothing comes out of them.
Next two are about Turtles wondering what will they do with their lives now that all plot points were closed in Vol 1. I get what they were doing, but "City at War" had plenty of this sorta thinking and that thing was bloody 13 issues long. It's got tiresome, not helped by the fact that later issue doesn't build up on anything suggested here (e.x. Turtles were supposed to split up, but didn't).
Issues 4-5 are about Giant Turtle in the sewers. It pretty random, even for a book about 4 big turtles living in a sewer.
In #6-9 Turtles about Baxter's giant robot. This is some decent action if anything, especially since Baxter wasn't seen in years in Mirage Comics. As far as I know, only this story has any repercussions in later volumes.
Last four issues deal with Government agents capturing one of the Turtles. This story could really use Agen Bishop from 2003 cartoon. It's bland, rushed, introduced some really forgettable characters and doesn't really accomplishes anything (except for pissing off fans of Nobody, a semi-recurring superhero character)
Vol 1 was a fairly good read. Not perfect, definitely not for everyone, but to this day it moved Turtles into a direction no later adaptations would dare to go (advantage of the little indie comic over big corporation handling old IP). Volume 2 is mostly the same thing (if you liked the artwork you it's still here) but just feels empty and inconsequential. It will kill an hour or two if you want, but skipping it is an option as well.
