We all know the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They're a gang of pizza-eating, surfer-slang-using mutated turtles who hang out and beat up bad guys, all while having a ton of fun.

Power Rankings: Neil Gaiman
Power Rankings is a series where I'll select a director, actor, writer, artist, etc. and rank their 5 best pieces of work.
It's hard to put a label on the genre or style of Neil Gaiman's work.
