I've not read any Ghostbusters or Power Rangers, but I read just about all the TMNT stuff that's been released up until a year or two ago.
It can be up and down in places, but in general is definitely worth reading.
TMNT has a few periods to look at.
The original Eastman and Laird runs from the beginning, where it was published by Mirage. This ran from 1984 to 1993.
The Image comics run, which I don't think had any direct involvement from Eastman and Laird. It was a short lived series and only lasted 23 issues from 96 to 98.
Mirage revived the series in 2001, picking up where their earlier run had ended and would put out books until 2010
IDW publishes the current incarnation which was relaunched with Kevin Eastman's involvement in 2011 and is still going today. It's probably my favourite run of the series so far. There's even a crossover event or two with other IDW books (Including Ghostbusters).
If you're wanting to read TMNT I would recommend the IDW stuff first, if not then go for the Mirage books if you can find them. Bear in mind that the really early books are very much representative of their "Indie" roots and the tone and style changes dramatically over the years.
I enjoyed reading them all though.
