Welcome back to TMNT Tuesday!
This week, we’ve got a big one. IDW Publishing has exclusively revealed its full slate of October 2026 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles releases here at AIPT, including new single issues, major collected editions, and a whopping 18 covers for fans to feast their eyes on.
Before we get to what’s ahead, don’t forget that two TMNT titles hit comic shops tomorrow, Wednesday. TMNT: Shredder #9 continues Dan Watters and Sid Kotian’s gripping reinvention of the Foot Clan leader, while TMNT: Saturday Morning Adventures #38 delivers another all-ages adventure inspired by the classic animated era. As always, pre-ordering and supporting these books through your local comic shop is greatly appreciated and helps ensure more TMNT comics for years to come.
Looking ahead to October, “The City That Never Dies” storyline reaches new heights as the undead invasion spreads across New York City in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #23 and TMNT: Shredder #13. Elsewhere, Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Coastal Chaos continues its mutant shark-infested beach adventure, TMNT: Journeys keeps the Mirage-era saga rolling, and collectors have plenty to get excited about with Jason Aaron’s first year collected in a deluxe hardcover, the final volume of IDW’s massive ongoing compendium line, a new edition of the Naruto x TMNT crossover, and more.
