TMNT: Turtles Hunted Across NYC!
12 Nov
Summary
- New comic arc sees Turtles chased through NYC nightly.
- Writer aims for classic TMNT feel with modern twists.
- Shredder now leads Earth Protection Force in spinoff.
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the focus of a new, intense comic arc titled 'War All the Time,' starting with issue #25. In this storyline, the beloved heroes are pursued across New York City for an entire night by a host of formidable adversaries. Writer Matthew Rosenberg intends to evoke the spirit of the characters' early success while incorporating subsequent narrative developments.
Rosenberg described the arc as an "over the top brutal and fun love letter" to the TMNT universe, featuring classic villains, intense combat, and high stakes, all within the context of a quirky family adventure. This narrative aims to blend the gritty urban feel of '70s and '80s NYC adventure films with the martial arts action of films like 'Kill Bill' and the heart of coming-of-age comedies.
Exclusive pages from the new book and covers for IDW's spinoff series, 'Shredder,' are also being released. In 'Shredder,' writer Dan Watters reimagines the villain as the leader of the Earth Protection Force, akin to SHIELD. Originally planned for 12 issues, fan reception extended the series to 18, with Shredder set to reappear in the main 'TMNT' series. The last day to pre-order TMNT #25 is November 30, with the issue going on sale January 13.
