Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an ongoing comic book series published by IDW Publishing. Debuting in August 2011, it was the first new comic version of the turtles to debut after the sale of the media franchise to Nickelodeon in October 2009. The initial creative team consisted of Turtles co-creator Kevin Eastman (who collaborated on the plot and the page layouts), Tom Waltz (who scripted the series) and artist Dan Duncan.

In August 2017, the 73rd issue of the main ongoing series was published, making it the longest running comic in the Turtles franchise history; a title that was previously held by the Archie Comics series.[1] In December 2019, the 100th issue of the comic was published, concluding the eight part "City at War" arc. Starting with issue 101, series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the book.[2]

Plot [edit]

Volume I (Issues #1-100) [edit]

Hamato Yoshi is a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki during Japan's feudal period. After seeing Saki act ruthlessly, Yoshi leaves the Clan and is marked a traitor, and Saki orders Yoshi's entire family to be put to death. Yoshi's wife, Tang Shen, is attacked and severely wounded, and with her last breath she beseeches Yoshi to protect himself and the children. He flees with the boys and remains on the run for several years. Saki, who will later be known as Shredder, eventually finds Yoshi and his children, and murders them all.

Yoshi and his sons' spirits are reincarnated in modern times as a gray rat and four green turtles in a research laboratory called Stock Gen, owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with Krang. An intern at Stock Gen, April O'Neil, names the turtles after Renaissance artists: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Members of the Foot Clan break into the facility to steal an alien mutagen. The animals are taken by mistake, and when they and the stolen mutagen get lost in the sewer, they are covered with the spilled mutagen and transformed into enlightened, humanoid beings.

Yoshi, now called Splinter, remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Unfortunately, the seemingly trivial event which led to the creation of the Turtles and Splinter is part of an escalating conflict between several powers trying to take control of the Earth:

  • The Foot Clan, with their leader Shredder, who has survived into the new age due to the machinations of the shape-shifting witch Kitsune;
  • The Utrom warlord Krang, who plans to terraform Earth into a new home for the last survivors of his race;
  • The zealous government agent John Bishop, leader of the Earth Protection Force, who seeks to eradicate mutantkind and aliens;
  • The mysterious Madame Null and her enterprise Null Group, a business conglomerate with its hands in many ventures and ties to other dimensions which deliberately creates mutants as a slave workforce;
  • A mysterious Pantheon of immortal creatures, with some of them are seeking to subvert humanity to their will, as they once did in bygone times.

Finding new allies as they go, the Turtles are forced to strive against enemies and save the world from total destruction as this many-fold conflict begins to spin out of control.

Volume II (Issues #101-) [edit]

With a mutagen bomb attack by Hob on the New York populace during Baxter Stockman's inauguration as the city's new mayor, the world's public is made aware of the existence of mutants. A ghetto called Mutant Town is erected in the heart of Manhattan to quarantine them, with Hob and his Mutanimals exercising loose political control over its inhabitants.[3] The Turtles and their friends unite to make Mutant Town both a better place to live in and a hub of tolerance and communication with the outside world.

The series reimagines the origins of the Turtles, as well as other characters such as April O'Neil, Splinter, The Shredder, Casey Jones, and Baxter Stockman.

  • Wayne Bishop, the former founder and director of the Earth Protection Force, and father of its current director, Agent John Bishop.

Long a retiree, Wayne is killed by his son when Hob attempts to use him as a bargaining chip for Slash's release.
  • Special Agent Ravenwood, a member of the Earth Protection Force. She is revealed to be the result of a secret government experiment which split her body into six separate entities with a collective consciousness, and bestowed her with superhuman strength, body elasticity, and longevity.

    • Stone, a mutant octopus, and Night, his lemur partner
  • Antoni Rosetti Junior, the young son of a mafioso who was assassinated by Jennika while she was still human. He was raised by his ambitious mother, who wanted him to ascend as head of his crime family until she was trapped in Mutant Town and later tries to enlist the now-mutated Jennika to train him. Antoni and Jennika become friends, even after Antoni learns about their common past, and after escaping his mother, Jennika gives Antoni into April O'Neil's custody.
  • Lola Cruz, a journalist who is eager to score a story about life in Mutant Town.

Comics [edit]

Main series [edit]

The main ongoing comic started in August 2011 and has released 119 issues as of July 14, 2021[update].

Micro- and Macro-Series [edit]

As per TMNT tradition, four one-shots (officially a mini-series) were released focusing on each turtle, with issue #4 tying into #9 of the main series. Due to the popularity of the series, IDW announced another four issues, focusing on Master Splinter, Casey Jones, April O'Neil and the Fugitoid. Associate Editor, Bobby Curnow, says that if popularity increases, the Micro-Series will become the IDW equivalent of Mirage's Tales of the TMNT.

In April 2013, a new series of eight one-shots was started, under the title Villains Micro-series.[12] The first four issues focus on Krang, Baxter Stockman, Old Hob and Alopex; subsequent issues focused on Karai, Hun, Bebop & Rocksteady and Shredder.

Between October and December 2018, four issues of a "Macro-Series" were published which focused on the Turtles, but featured much longer narrations.

Infestation 2 [edit]

The Turtles were included in the IDW crossover event Infestation 2. They appeared in one panel in the first issue of the main series. Raphael also appeared on the covers for both issues of the main series; as does Donatello on a variant cover of #1.

This annual edition features apprentice time mistress Renet and the Battle Nexus Tournament from the Mirage Comics volume 4/TMNT 2K3.[16] Originally slated for April 2014, the release was rescheduled to August due to production difficulties. The Turtles are taken from their home by a dimension-hopping Renet and forced to participate in an interdimensional gladiator contest which by the whim of their initiator, Councilman Nieli, has no winners; but the Turtles, the stubborn Renet and some irritated gladiators intend to change this unbearable condition for the better.

TMNT 30th Anniversary Special [edit]

A special edition commemorating the brand's 30th anniversary. Featuring five short stories, one of them entitled "Ready Set Go!" was previously released in Hero Comics 2012;[17] the other four short stories are each set in one of the comic continuities – Mirage, Image, Archie Comics, and IDW – which arose with the franchise.

Turtles in Time [edit]

A four-issue mini-series running from June to September 2014. It was a continuation from the story in TMNT Annual 2014.[18] Some intertemporary after-effect from their trip with Renet displaces the Turtles successively into the age of the dinosaurs, medieval Japan, the age of pirates, and even the future; and in each time period they are forced to make decisions which have shaped – and still might shape – their own fate and that of the world around them.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/Ghostbusters [edit]

A four-issue mini-series crossover with IDW's Ghostbusters comic series, celebrating the 30th anniversaries of both franchises. It began publication in October 2014.[19] The story deals with the Turtles and their friends testing a teleportation device whose plans were provided by Professor Honeycutt. Due to a slight mishap during activation, they end up in the Ghostbusters' reality, along with an immortal, hostile creature once known as Chiyou, who seeks domination over mankind.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles [edit]

DC Comics published the six-issue miniseries Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Feb.–July 2016)[22] It is the second intercompany crossover between IDW and DC Comics, after Star Trek/Green Lantern.[23] The story, out of continuity, deals with the Turtles and their master Splinter, along with Shredder and a good number of his Foot Ninjas, having been interdimensionally displaced by their common enemy Krang; an eviction which landed them in Gotham City in the DC Universe.

Bebop & Rocksteady Destroy Everything! [edit]

A weekly five-part miniseries published in June 2016.[24] In this story, Bebop and Rocksteady get their hands on Renet's time scepter and, as the simpletons they are, wreak havoc to all creation as they use the artifact to hop all over time and space, forcing the Turtles and Renet to fix the damage before it becomes irreversible.

TMNT Universe [edit]

A spin-off series similar to Mirage's Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, which started publication on August 31, 2016.

This issue was published in July 2017.

In July 2017, IDW announced a sequel series to the 2014–2015 TMNT/Ghostbusters crossover, scheduled for weekly publication starting November 1, 2017.[29] [30] Setting in upon the conclusion of issue #75, the Turtles are stranded in a spirit dimension where they are beset by the vengeful ghost of their late adversary Darius Dun and must get help from the Ghostbusters in order to ever stand a chance of returning home again.

Guest appearances within the story include the Dark Turtles from the 2003 series' Fast Forward season, and Shibano and an alternate version of the Punk Frogs from the 1987 TMNT cartoon series. Additionally, an action figure assortment named Ninja Ghostbusters was issued for sale parallel to the publication of the mini-series;[30] [31] the Ninja Ghostbusters also have a guest appearance within the comic story itself.

Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II [edit]

A six-issue sequel series to Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was announced, with the first two issues being planned for release on December 6 and December 20, respectively.[32] The plot deals with Donatello's desire to become a stronger fighter, which drives him into activating an interdimensional doorway to ask Batman for help.

Batman and Robin therefore must travel to the Turtles' reality to aid their mutant friends in bringing down their common foe.

The publication of a third and final installment of the successful crossover miniseries was announced on February 15, 2019 for May in the same year.[36] [37] In this series, Krang is presented as the main adversary, and with the most dangerous technology from the DC Universe in his hands, he merges the DC and the TMNT universes into an amalgam reality, where Batman was raised by Splinter alongside the Ninja Turtles following his parents' murder. Escaping from Krang after being abducted along the rest of the original Mirage turtles and Pre-Crisis Batman, Mirage Raphael alerts the Batman and Ninja Turtles of this merged world about Krang's meddling with reality. Now, in order to separate the merged world back, the five heroes need to find their old allies, regain their memories of the original universes, and stop Krang and the Laughing Man (Joker with elements of the Shredder).

TMNT: The Last Ronin [edit]

A limited five-issue story based on an unused idea by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird for the Mirage comics (hence making it the first IDW title crediting Laird's participation). Originally set for publication in August 2020, it was rescheduled to be released in October. Its plot tells a story set in the future where a lone surviving Turtle seeks vengeance against the master of the Foot Clan for his lost family and friends.[41]

Due to the popularity of the Jennika mini-series, a sequel limited series with six issues was announced in August 2020 for publication in November of the same year.[42] In the first three parts, Jennika is forced to unite with Ivan in order to discover the source of dangerous, monstrous transformations among the people of Mutant Town while the rest of the world is casting a suspicious eye at their transmutated neighbors. The second half of the series sees Jennika getting entangled in the schemes of a mafioso's widow who - through Jennika's friendship with her young son - intends to use her to re-cement her position in her crime family's hierarchy.
