First look at TMNT #21 covers

This issue features a stacked lineup of covers, including:

  • Cover A by Fero Pe

“The City That Never Dies” begins

Following the events of TMNT #300, Gene Luen Yang and Fero Pe kick off a bold new arc that leans into the supernatural side of the Turtles mythos.

Here’s the official solicitation:

After the shocking events of TMNT #20, the 300th issue special, death becomes a thing of the past as “The City That Never Dies” begins! Following an ominous warning from an old adversary, the Turtles try to stop their enemies from destroying the veil between the living and the dead. Can the newly reunited Hamato Clan reassemble the destroyed Ujigami mask and restore the veil? Or will the newly risen dead stand in their way?!

With the Hamato Clan reunited and the stakes now stretching into the realm of life and death, this next phase looks to push the series into even darker and more mystical territory.
