IDW Publishing has announced that Paramount+’s hit animated series Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is heading to comic books this October.
“TMNT comics are so iconic, so to have this opportunity to create a new iteration is a dream come true,” said writer Mikey Levitt, who will kick off the series with a three-issue story arc having previously written for the animated series. “Now having written for the show and comics, there are so many exciting paths within this world we can send the characters, and I think the fans will love where we go this time! I don’t want to reveal too much, but if you’re a fan of the robot characters throughout Turtles’ history, you may want to buy yourself a copy when these come out! One more thing I’ll tease: Not every villain we’ve said goodbye to is truly gone…”
”I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be going on a new adventure with the Turtles,” added writer Andrew Joustra (Godzilla: Skate of Die), who will handle the second three-issue story arc. “We’ve been given the unique opportunity to further explore this iteration of the TMNT and introduce them to a new spin on some familiar faces. It has particularly been a dream come true for me to reimagine my favorite TMNT character, the Fugitoid, for these issues and to tell a surprisingly personal story with him. I don’t want to give too much away, but let’s just ZAY I’ve had a TON of fun working on this project and leave it at that. Cowabunga!”
“The style and aesthetic of this latest generation of Turtles is so unique and fun,” said series artist Louie Joyce. “I’m having a blast exploring and expanding on it through my own art and storytelling. Humour, heart, action! It’s all happening on these pages, in that perfect TMNT way.”
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 will be available with the following covers from Louie Joyce, Chalky Wong, and Jon Lankry…
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 will go on sale on Wednesday, October 15th 2025.
