Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Brings Back Forgotten Fan-Favorite Characters for Major Event
Some of your favorite Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters you haven’t seen in years are on the verge of returning. The Heroes in a Half-Shell began as a comic book and soon made its way to the big and small screens, along with a host of toys and video games. The TMNT fandom is large and devoted, and fans all have their favorite characters. Several of those have appeared in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles comics from IDW Publishing, and the latest volume is gearing up for an action-packed event that will feature characters from across the TMNT Universe.
IGN announced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus , a five-week event starting in November that finds the Turtles stepping into a multidimensional tournament. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus comes from familiar TMNT creatives, including writers Tom Waltz, Paul Allor, Sophie Campbell, Caleb Goellner, and Erik Burnham, with art from the Escorza brothers, Ben Bishop, Vitor Cafaggi, Omar Francia, and Hendry Prasetya.
The event features beloved characters from various incarnations of the franchise, including the classic Shredder from Mirage Studios, Metalhead from the 2012 animated series, Slash returning from the dead, and the IDW debut of Ninjara. This is most likely the “out-of-this-world” TMNT event IDW Editor-in-Chief Bobby Curnow teased to ComicBook back in June.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Battle Nexus #1 goes on sale November 12th, with a pre-order deadline of October 6th.
