Update (9/30): TMNT: Shredder is about to enter its next chapter.

Following the conclusion of the series’ opening 12 issues, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder #13 launches a new arc on October 28 from writer Dan Watters, artist Sid Kotian, and colorist Prasad Rao. The issue also joins The City That Never Dies, throwing Shredder and his newly assembled army into the undead crisis sweeping through the TMNT line.

Naturally, Shredder isn’t simply sending his forces into battle.

The new arc begins with Oroku Saki testing the mettle of his army by sending them into the undead onslaught as part of an assessment mission. There’s more behind the exercise than Shredder is willing to reveal, however, suggesting the chaos consuming the city may offer him an opportunity of his own.

Now they want your questions.
