Welcome to another edition of TMNT Tuesday, your one-stop shop for TMNT exclusive previews, access to editors, writers, and more! After our explosive 50th edition, we’re bringing you another first-ever look at interior art for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #17!
Out on April 8th, the preview is an explosive all-out war with Leo taking on Kara, who has captured Splinter. If you have a fear of portals or Mikey getting sent through one, stay away from these pages!
Also exclusively revealed, we’ve got two variant covers for TMNT #19, one by Mert Pizza and the other by Isaac Sánchez González!
Both issues are building towards the historic milestone of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #300, which kicks off Gene Luen Yang and Freddie Williams II’s “The City Never Dies” story arc, with an additional backup tale from Kevin Eastman and longtime TMNT writer Tom Waltz. Considering how big IDW is going with TMNT these days, it’s best to get #300 on your pull list stat, likely selling out, especially with the blind bags in store for readers.
Without further ado, grab a slice and peruse the preview below!
High atop New York City, a battle rages for Splinter’s soul! As Shinigami exploits Splinter’s fear to open a portal to the great beyond, the Turtles take on a mystical battle that tests their very limits. Mikey discovers the key to saving their father from a shocking source, but can he make it back to his family before it’s too late?!
