Featuring the comic-book debut of writers Mikey Levitt (Tales of the TMNT production team) for the first story and then Andrew Joustra (TMNT: Mutant Mayhem production team) for the second story, with radical art by Louie Joyce (Godzilla: Skate or Die) for both of the three-issue tales. This comic features original characters from the streaming show in comics for the first time, as well as classic TMNT characters never before seen in the new toon.
“TMNT comics are so iconic, so to have this opportunity to create a new iteration is a dream come true,” said Levitt. “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…”
Joustra enthused, ”I’m beyond thrilled and honored to be going on a new adventure with the Turtles. 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!”
Joyce, a lifelong Turtles fan, called this project “an absolute dream.” The artist added, “The style and aesthetic of this latest generation of Turtles is so unique and fun! I’m having a blast exploring and expanding on it through my own art and storytelling. Humor, heart, action! It’s all happening on these pages, in that perfect TMNT way.”
Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles #1 went on sale on Wednesday, October 15. In the lead up to its debut, a special New York Comic Con variant cover was also revealed.
