This volume contains the next 12 episodes from the original TMNT series. The episodes included on this release happen to be the very best episodes of season 3. This is because so many of the episodes on this volume were written by David Wise and Michael Reeves, who are famous for writing the very best episodes. On Vol. 4 they only wrote 3 episode but on this volume they write a handful of episodes each. This volume marks the first appearance of many new characters who would be regular guests in future episodes. Leatherhead and Usagi Yojimbo are introduced. The Rat King makes an appearance in two episodes and we meet the dangerous but funny Metalhead. Casey Jones appears in 'Corporate Raiders from Dimension X'. The Shredder and Krang are at top form and Rocksteady and Bebop are as hilarious as ever. These episodes are a perfect blend of humor, action and good story telling. I just can't get over how good these episodes are.
