Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an ongoing American comic book series published by IDW Publishing. Debuting in August 2011, the series is part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles media franchise created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and was the first new comic incarnation of the Turtles to debut after the franchise's sale to Nickelodeon in October 2009. It is the fifth comic book series in the franchise's publication history and serves as a reboot of the franchise's story and characters, including those originating in media from outside the original Mirage comics. [3]
The IDW Turtles series reimagines the franchise's titular characters—brothers Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo—as sons of Hamato Yoshi, a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki in feudal Japan. When Yoshi leaves the Clan, Saki (who will later be known as Shredder) murders Yoshi and his four sons. In modern times, the spirits of Yoshi and his sons are reincarnated as a rat and four turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial Krang. After coming in contact with the alien mutagen, Yoshi and the turtles are transformed into intelligent, humanoid beings. Living in the sewers, Yoshi (now called Splinter), remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Allying themselves with April O'Neil and Casey Jones, they are threatened by Shredder, who has survived through the centuries; Shredder's descendant Karai; and Krang, who seeks to conquer Earth.
The initial creative team on the IDW series consisted of Eastman (who collaborated on the plot and the page layouts), writer Tom Waltz, and artist Dan Duncan. In 2017, it became the longest-running comic book series in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures , which ran from 1988 to 1995. Starting from issue #101, IDW series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the series.
In April 2011, IDW Publishing acquired the license to publish new collections of older Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics from Nickelodeon, as well as a new ongoing series. The first issue of the new series was released on August 24 that year. Turtles co-creators Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz wrote the book, with Eastman and Dan Duncan providing art. [4] In 2017, issue #73 of the main ongoing series was published, making it the longest-running comic in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures . [5] In 2019, issue #100 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. [6]
It was announced on January 12, 2024 that the current volume would end with issue #150 and a new volume would launch in July 2024; with Jason Aaron taking over as the head writer. [1] [7] It was announced on January 22, 2024, that the first five issues of the new series will each be drawn by a different artist (Joëlle Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Cliff Chiang, Chris Burnham, and Darick Robertson respectively); with the first four issues spotlighting a different turtle (Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello, respectively) before having them reunite in the fifth. Following these issues, Albuquerque will then draw the second story arc. [8] [9]
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 by Foot ninjas, 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.
Centuries later, Yoshi and his sons' spirits are reincarnated in modern times as a gray rat and four green turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory called Stock Gen, owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial 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 intelligent, 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:
Finding new allies as they go, the Turtles are forced to strive against enemies and save the world from destruction as this many-fold conflict begins to spin out of control. The conflict culminates when Kitsune, a member of the Pantheon, attempts to resurrect the Dragon to end humanity, which the Turtles and their allies attempt to thwart, leading to the death of Splinter and Shredder's redemption.
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. [10] 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, but new conflicts begin to emerge:
The result of the Armageddon Game is the downfall of both Krang and Ch'rell, the destruction of Mutant Town's borders, and the banishment of all the Pantheons from the world. During it, Donatello travels to the future and discovers Armaggon, a monster that can wipe out timelines through devouring them. He becomes obsessed with stopping the monster and inadvertedly creates it while traveling through space and time. While Donatello is able to stop it and ensure that his family won't be erased from history, they eventually decide to go their separate ways.
