This week’s TMNT Tuesday is taking fans deep into the chaos of the Battle Nexus with an exclusive first look at TMNT: Battle Nexus #3—and spotlighting one of the franchise’s most beloved characters in the process.
As the Ninja Turtles reel from the shocking aftermath of Leonardo’s clash with the original Shredder, they quickly learn the otherworldly tournament they’ve been thrown into is bigger, stranger, and far more dangerous than they ever imagined. With fan-favorite Ninjara stepping into the spotlight and tensions flaring between former flames Raphael and Alopex, this next chapter promises wild matchups, explosive emotions, and consequences that could shake the very foundation of the Nexus itself.
And according to IDW Group Editor Jake Thomas, fans are in for something special:
“For those in the know, it won’t get much juicier than having an issue of Battle Nexus that shines the spotlight on both Ninjara and Alopex. While our IDW Raph has his hands full fighting his ex-girlfriend, the whole fight is presided over by an alternate-universe ex he has no idea about! Talk about high drama! And, of course, Sophie Campbell and Vitor Cafaggi brought the goods—it’s a gorgeous issue, brutal, heartfelt, and incredibly fun. It also sets up Donnie’s entrance into the arena, which fans aren’t going to want to miss!”
Written by Sophie Campbell with art by Vitor Cafaggi and Luis Antonio Delgado, TMNT: Battle Nexus #3 hits shelves January 21, and we’ve got your exclusive preview right here.
