Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is an ongoing American comic book series published by IDW Publishing. Debuting in August 2011, the series is part of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles media franchise created by Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird and was the first new comic incarnation of the Turtles to debut after the franchise's sale to Nickelodeon in October 2009. It is the fifth comic book series in the franchise's publication history and serves as a reboot of the franchise's story and characters. ^[3]

The IDW Turtles series reimagines the franchise's titular characters—brothers Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, and Michelangelo—as sons of Hamato Yoshi, a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki in feudal Japan. When Yoshi leaves the Clan, Saki (who will later be known as Shredder) murders Yoshi and his four sons. In modern times, the spirits of Yoshi and his sons are reincarnated as a rat and four turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial Krang. After coming in contact with the alien mutagen, Yoshi and the turtles are transformed into intelligent, humanoid beings. Living in the sewers, Yoshi (now called Splinter), remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Allying themselves with April O'Neil and Casey Jones, they are threatened by Shredder, who has survived through the centuries; Shredder's descendant Karai; and Krang, who seeks to conquer Earth.

The initial creative team on the IDW series consisted of Eastman (who collaborated on the plot and the page layouts), writer Tom Waltz, and artist Dan Duncan. In 2017, it became the longest-running comic book series in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures , which ran from 1988 to 1995. Starting from issue #101, IDW series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the series.

Publication history

2011–2024: original series

In April 2011, IDW Publishing acquired the license to publish new collections of older Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics from Nickelodeon, as well as a new ongoing series. The first issue of the new series was released on August 24 that year. Turtles co-creators Kevin Eastman and Tom Waltz wrote the book, with Eastman and Dan Duncan providing art. ^[4] In 2017, issue #73 of the main ongoing series was published, making it the longest-running comic in the franchise's history, surpassing Archie Comics' Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures . ^[5] In 2019, issue #100 of the comic was published, concluding the eight-part "City at War" arc. Starting with issue #101, series writer and artist Sophie Campbell took over as the sole lead writer for the book. ^[6]

2024: relaunch

It was announced on January 12, 2024 that the current volume would end with issue #150 and a new volume would launch in July 2024; with Jason Aaron taking over as the head writer. ^{[1] [7]} It was announced on January 22, 2024, that the first four issues of the new series will each be drawn by a different artist (Joëlle Jones, Rafael Albuquerque, Cliff Chiang, and Chris Burnham, respectively); with each of the first four issues spotlighting a different turtle (Raphael, Michelangelo, Leonardo, and Donatello, respectively). Following these issues, Albuquerque will then draw the second story arc. ^[8]

Plot

Volume I

Issues #1–100

Hamato Yoshi is a member of the Foot Clan led by Oroku Saki during Japan's feudal period. After seeing Saki act ruthlessly, Yoshi leaves the Clan and is marked a traitor, and Saki orders Yoshi's entire family to be put to death. Yoshi's wife, Tang Shen, is attacked and severely wounded by Foot ninjas, and with her last breath, she beseeches Yoshi to protect himself and the children. He flees with the boys and remains on the run for several years. Saki, who will later be known as Shredder, eventually finds Yoshi and his children and murders them all.

Centuries later, Yoshi and his sons' spirits are reincarnated in modern times as a gray rat and four green turtles, respectively, in a research laboratory called Stock Gen, owned by Baxter Stockman, a scientist who has secretly allied himself with the extraterrestrial Krang. An intern at Stock Gen, April O'Neil, names the turtles after Renaissance artists: Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael. Members of the Foot Clan break into the facility to steal an alien mutagen. The animals are taken by mistake, and when they and the stolen mutagen get lost in the sewer, they are covered with the spilled mutagen and transformed into intelligent, humanoid beings.

Yoshi, now called Splinter, remembers his past life and begins to train the turtles in the art of ninjutsu. Unfortunately, the seemingly trivial event which led to the creation of the Turtles and Splinter is part of an escalating conflict between several powers trying to take control of the Earth:

• The Foot Clan, with their leader Shredder, who has survived into the modern age due to the machinations of the shape-shifting witch Kitsune, and having new recruits such as Jennika, Alopex, Koya, and Bludgeon
• The Utrom warlord Krang, who plans to terraform Earth into a new home for the last survivors of his race
• The zealous government agent John Bishop, leader of the Earth Protection Force, who seeks to eradicate mutantkind and aliens
• The mysterious Madam Null and her enterprise Null Group, a business conglomerate with its hands in many ventures and ties to other dimensions deliberately create mutants as a slave workforce
• A mysterious Pantheon of immortal demigods, some of whom subvert humanity to their will, as they once did in bygone times.

Finding new allies as they go, the Turtles are forced to strive against enemies and save the world from destruction as this many-fold conflict begins to spin out of control. The conflict culminates when Kitsune, a member of the Pantheon, attempts to resurrect the Dragon to end humanity, which the Turtles and their allies attempt to thwart.

Issues #101–150: Rebirth

With a mutagen bomb attack by Hob on the New York populace during Baxter Stockman's inauguration as the city's new mayor, the world's public is made aware of the existence of mutants. A ghetto called Mutant Town is erected in the heart of Manhattan to quarantine them, with Hob and his Mutanimals exercising loose political control over its inhabitants. ^[9] The Turtles and their friends unite to make Mutant Town both a better place to live in and a hub of tolerance and communication with the outside world, but new conflicts begin to emerge:

• Zom becomes pregnant and gives birth to a daughter, hailing a new era for the Triceratons, but also stirring hostility in the radical Utrom Ch'rell
• Lita, a mutant albino turtle child the Turtles take in, is revealed to become a time traveler under time mistress Renet and has traveled to the present to stop the Turtles from splitting up in the future
• The Punk Frogs, a street gang of mutant frogs, attack the Turtles and burn the dojo, believing that they took away one of their members, Bonnie
• A mad mutant surgeon by the name of Jasper Barlow experiments on mutants to make them more human, kidnapping Bonnie as part of her experiments (who becomes Venus, a turlte with psychic powers) and eventually resorting to inhumane methods to become human again
• The Rat King, a member of the Pantheon, is eager to see his family's power game brought to a conclusion and attempts to unleash the Armageddon Game upon the world, a conflict that involves every major character up to that point
• Having foreseen the arrival of Armaggon, a monstrous devourer from the streams of time, Donatello becomes obsessed with stopping this menace and travels through time, inadvertedly creating the monster.

The result of the Armageddon Game is the downfall of both Krang and Ch'rell, the destruction of Mutant Town's borders, and the banishment of all the Pantheons from the world. In his attempts to stop Armaggon, Donatello ensures the reincarnation of his family, but he becomes jaded and Lita reverts back to a human. Meanwhile, Karai begins her efforts to rebuild the Foot Clan, Old Hob begins setting up a mutant-inhabited island, and the vigilante Nightwatcher begins fighting in Mutant Town.

• Special Agent Ravenwood, a member of the Earth Protection Force. She is revealed to be the result of a secret government experiment which split her body into six separate entities with a collective consciousness, and bestowed her with superhuman strength, body elasticity, and longevity.

  • Lita, a small New York child mutated into an albino turtle who is taken in by Clan Hamato. She was named after the rockstar Lita Ford. ^[19] In an alternate future, she is shown as an orphan after a catastrophic chain of events leads to the break-up of her adopted family, and she was subsequently taken in and trained as a time mistress by Renet ^[19] and is able to go back in time to rectify this mistake.

Antoni and Jennika become friends, even after Antoni learns about their common past, and after escaping his mother, Jennika gives Antoni into April O'Neil's custody.
• Lola Cruz, a reporter who is eager to score a story about life in Mutant Town. Later on, she joins April O'Neil and Mona Lisa in founding Mutant Town's own journalistic team.
