We’re back with another TMNT Tuesday, and this one’s got a serious shell shock. If you caught our Gene Luen Yang interview last week, buckle up, because this week comes with a Rise of the TMNT surprise you won’t want to miss. Today, AIPT can exclusively reveal new panels from TMNT: Battle Nexus #4, confirming that a Rise of the TMNT character is officially entering the main Battle Nexus storyline.
“Regardless of the winners or losers inside the Battle Nexus,” producer and character designer for Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Andy Suriano said, “As fans, we ALL win when we get to see every TMNT era back in action! That being said, I’m rooting for RISE’s Donnie!!”
IDW has also confirmed there will be more Turtles from different incarnations in the main story, too.
So what’s TMNT: BATTLE NEXUS #4 about?
Where do Battle Nexus fighters go when they lose? You can bet it’s not very pleasant, as one of our Ninja Turtles heroes discovers when he’s transported there after a brutal bout. But what he finds is something he never expected: himself. Meanwhile, Donatello is pitted against Metalhead, a robotic Ninja Turtle from another universe! Originally designed by a version of Donnie to help the TMNT become the best fighters they could be, this Metalhead has been reprogrammed to use all of Donnie’s brilliance against him! How can one Ninja Turtle hope to defeat a state-of-the-art machine that knows every fighting style in existence?!
